whats up guys i been kicking a b18a around about what i should do if i should go turbo or all motor i like both now i have a clean block stock bore arp head studs new of course and a 1998 clean ls head and the og head with a bent valve i like it to be reliable somewhat good on gas but i know thats asking to much i also have hook ups on turbo parts and what kind of management should i go with i like to give some sr 240s a run for there money just so they stop hateing on honda / acuras oh i have a 1990 DA. thanks

if the motor is legit (do a compression test)...a stock b18a/b can run 10psi daily and put out 250whp on pump gas...ive seen a stock ls with a bomb ass tune and race gas put down 400whp on like 18psi

sr20 motors are super sweet. I always wanted to do the swap when I had my 240 but never had the cash. B18 motors are not meant for turbo so you have to mess with the internals if you want reliability. For reliability and half decent on gas do not run stock internals. You will need forged pistons, a mild set of turbo cams, 440cc injectors, and your pieced turbo kit. Tuning is up to you but I would go with a Hondata s200. You can run 7 psi daily fairly reliable if tuned and built right. With forged internals you should be able to run around 12psi without super worry.

oh for sure im going to run forged pistons and eagle rods im going with cp pistons 9.1 comp and built head maybe that 1999 ls head i have just because it has less miles on it and some turbo 4g63 injectors i think there 450 but i like to keep my ac / ps so thats what leans me over to all motor. for all motor i will use rs machine type r pistons with eagle rods and built head p/p with 403 or 404 crower cams and 3 valve job and d springs / tit retainers with hondata s200 but cant make up my main dam!

The difference between a turbo build and an all motor build is night and day. All motor is more reliable but its a lot of money for not enough power. If you build a turbo correctly it will do just fine for a good while and you will make some pretty good power. There are kits out there that allow you to push enough boost and still keep your ac/ps. The drag turbo kits and most other full kits allow you to keep both of those options.
