Default Homemade Turbo for B18C1

Would you say building a homemade turbo setup for a b18c1 is stupid? Or that extra care should be taken? Or anything at all?

Ok so about 5-6psi on stock internals is safe

Yeah you should be fine at 5-6 psi. A B18C1 is a pretty spendy motor though so defintely look into some good fuel management and get it tuned well.

I agree, also just because a kit is "homemade" doesnt mean it is "substandard" my 1k$ turbo kit is better quality then a 1500$ and comparable to a 3000$ drag kit. Just read on in this web site and learn young Padawan

The B18C1 has a bit stronger internals, and responds well to turbos, your really going to move when you get this setup

Exactly!

My homemadeturbo kit will be with almost all new parts and hondata for fuel management. I am sure it will be a hell of a lot better and cheaper than any kit you can buy.

I also say go for uberdata if your obd1. If your obd0 then check out turbo edit.
