turbo questions.

is a greddy 20g a good way to boost on a b18c1

That might be a little big, i think they support up to like 400-450 hp which, unless u plan on building ur motor in the future, u will never reach. I thnk i would look to something smaller unless u dont care about lag.

mike, damnit you're not boosting that thing! lol but if you do, drop the size down a little and get something with a little faster spool. turbo lag in a honda OWNZ j00!

18g is what comes with most greddy kits for b-series. 20g will give more topend power, but also more lag.

for mostly street fun i'd say the 18g...for track, dyno queen, and highway runs the the 20g.

[The BUCKY]

well unfortunately. thats what the guys has with the kit. so iwill have to up grade later. he said it spooled around 3k + with an oil cooler? the motor will be built one day just not today.

run the 20g, ur car will be fine if properly tuned and ur not trying to run crazy boost. My car dnt spool til around there so its not that big of a deal. The b series rev pretty quick ne way so u wont have an ungodly amount of lag. If ur that concerned about lag and dnt already have one get a lightweight flywheel. Remember, turbo lag in a front wheel drive is like some budget traction control. lol!!!

with a smaller turbo, it will take more PSI to get your HP that you want. if you want to make 220whp, get the turbo that you are talking about. if you want around 280whp, get a bigger turbo, and run 9 or so psi. it's not the HP you make that kills the motor, it's the pressure on the cylinders, etc.

for example, 12 psi to make 300whp is much harder on ur motor than 8psi making the same w/ a bigger turbo.

the GSR is plenty big to spool a "big turbo" .... i'd say get a 60mm trim, run low boost .... trust me, the lug isnt shit. anyhow, when u talk about lag .... it's only the time it takes the turbo to spool .... so if ur "big turbo" makes full boost @ 4500 rpm ... so what????? who races their car under that rpm anyhow. dont be scared to get something decent ... if you dont, you'll end up wishing you did later
