hey guys. i have an all motor b20 vtec. im push about 217 whp and 163 tqe. i love my motor and it gets up and goes, but ive been itching about going to a turbo. but i know absolutely nothing about turbos. could anyone give me a pretty good idea of what i need to do to turbo it?
heres my set up now.

b20 block
gsr head
ctr pistons and cams
ctr valvetrain
skunk2 intake manifold and fuel rail
v2 intake
dc 4-2-1 header
jackson racing highflow cat
tanabe medalion cat-back


any feedback would be great thanks.

 

start with a good step up. Go with something like peak boost, full race, or a turbonetics. It'll end up costing you more in the end if you get the cheap stuff. Once you have the whole turbo kit (turbo, manifold, intercooler, IC piping, oil line kit, and wastegate (depending on turbo) then you just need to get bigger injectors and a fuel management system. I would highly recommend the Hondata s300. You can actually do boost by gear with their boost controller.

Once its install find yourself a good tuner and get it dyno tuned before doing any real driving with it or you'll just blow your engine and have to start over again.

 

read the stickies please

 

ok cool. i have pretty high compression 12:1, and i heard that the wanted comp. is around 9:1? and would i have to change my internals?

 

you definatley should! or run super low boost

 

any suggestions on internals?

 

Have you considered nitrous? That might actually be better for you.

 

yea i have. it doesnt intrest me as much as turbo tho. i wanna build another motor

 

yea that compression is for an all motor set up

deff need to lower the compression, need to change the pistons to do that. You dont want to be higher the 9.5:1 but I would try to get around maybe 8:1 or 8.5:1

you blow your sleeves to pieces if you threw boost into your engine that is already at 12:1 CR

 

yea that makes sense. what about inline pro turbo kits?
good? reliable?
