hey, just a quick question and im sure its easy to answer.... but meh.

the B16B is a nice engine... but because it is Vtec doesn't that mean its already turbo'd ... well honda's form of turbo i mean... or can u turbo a Vtec? if u cant can u adjust the PSI?

would i be better off getting a B18B1 and turboin' it?
would a B18B1 fit in a 88-91 CRX.... and have room for a turbo kit?

ok so its not a quick question... damn... ah well...

b16B is a nice engine its the civic type-r engine and it is not turbo-charged, and of course you could always add a after market turbocharger to it.

wicked, so then i could have a Turbo'd B16B in my CRX?
can we say good times?!?!?!?!

:D

Can you say waste of money and a great engine? Why boost an engine with a 10:8:1 compression ratio? Do you want to break a perfect NA, high comp., high reving motor?

would it be bad for the engine?

like AF thing sez... i am a newbie... :S its sad but tru...

it would it be bad? would i have to rebuild the engine and fix up the inner'ds to handle it?

I totally agree why in the hell would you do that to a beautiful engine that is already so close to perfection.

Just build it up N/A

Since your kinda of a newb (no offense)

N/A = Naturally Aspirated which means no form of forced induction Such as nitrous, turbo, or supercharger.

please dont change out the internals and work of a b16b...its a waste...keep it as it is and work from there...no FI...keep it NA...the ITR is the same kind of reasoning also...keep it NA....isnt it pretty hard and expensive to get a CTR engine?....for the money u can get a # of different swaps like a b18 or b16 and play with it like a CRVtec deal or somthing

VTEC= Great for NA

There is no need for a Turbo to have vtec unless you get into SERIOUS RACING that needs the lobe change to shave a 10th or few 1000ths of your 1/4 ET.

non-VTEC B18s are the best Honda Turbo platform IMO.

thats cool, so for everything i wanted to do to my Engine, the B18 would be better? i am planning on a turbo and Nitrous. i know im gonna have to strengthen the motor... and appearently the B16 is to good to touch :wink:

so back to the first question, will the B18 fit in my CRX Si, as well as a turbo?

Turbo and Nitrous? On pump gas?

Not for the street unless both aplications are mild(no more than a 50shot or 7psi).... You can try though....

A B18 can fit into a crx, you just need a mount kit.

what if you had a b20 vtec is, you guyz think its a good idea to put a turbo in it?:icon16:

the "is" is a grammer mistake..

So go to "edit/delete" and change it instead of making a new post. Get the B18C and turbocharge it. You either have more money than your brain can handle, or you're just in here daydreaming and playing around. If option 1 is correct, take it to a shop and let them know you want a turbocharged gs-r engine in your hatch. Option 2, quit wasting our time.

I agree.

Actually According to Turbo magazine the D16z6 SOHC VTEC engine is the best honda turbo motor. They are very easy tunable and run a 9.2:1 compression stock.

Yeah if you got the dough. A guy I know has a '00 turbo EX with 205hp/204tq at the wheels, roughly $8,000 into it though. His best run is a 14.4 in the 1/4, and that was before getting an AEM computer and some other misc. parts.

Well I said In My Own Opinion, but.....

How is the D16 better? The D16 has Less Displacement, a Wussy Head, weaker block, as well as no torque, and less potential.

The B18A1 has 9.2:1 compression too, however you still can't run too much boost with that anyways.

But as long as turbo magazine says it is, then it must be correct
:loser: lol j/k

wow, maybe the first post you had was full of typo's but if it wasn't you have no idea what you're talking about.(not trying to be rude) VTEC has nothing to do with forced induction. VTEC is "variable valve timing and electronic lift control" It refers to a controlled change in cam lobes to allow for a higher lift and a longer duration. This allows for more air and fuel to enter the cylinder to improve higher rpm performance.
Turbo charging a VTEC engine is doable but is a little more complicated with the sudden change in cam lift. I would say it would be easier to turbo a non vtec engine. That is, if you're bound and determined to turbo something which it sounds like you are.
