sorry to the haters!!i gotta do it

[absolutlysideways]

right was gonna go b18c n/a but ive been thinking about this since i bought my ek9 but ive heard a few horror stories but im gonna go ahead with it anyways
gonna do all the work myself apart from the mapping obviously...

im not gonna look for huge power if i get near 250@the fly ill be more than happy

im going to use a b16a2 sir engine
greddy emanage engine management
greddy turbo
310cc injectors
uprated fuel pump
greddy front mounted intercooler
greddy type s bov
turbo manifold
downpipe
water/oil lines
2.5'' exhaust system
port and polised intake manifold
70mm throttlebody
aem fuel rail
aem puel pressure regulator
koyo radiator
greddy boost controller

have i missed anything?all help appreciated if you know what your talking about

the plan is to build this up and then drop it into my ek9,so if anything goes wrong i still have my b16b as backup

and can any of you english guys recommend a tuner over there thats experienced at mapping as ill be making a trip across the pond


thanks in advance

I think around 250 bhp is not an extreme power difficult to reach for a turbocharged B16.....so don't think it will be pushed to its limits, but as soon as you drop the engine in the EK9 you will feel the difference

thats what i mean manos,im not looking for huge power,i dont consider 250 bhp big power for a turbo sir,imho 220whp(250BHP) is plenty for a fwd car,in an ek9 that is 233 bhp per tonne which is quicker than a 330bhp evo 9

You could try Mase from the states for tuning the car man. A few of the Irish members on the DC2 Forum brought him over to tune their cars. Hes sappost to be, top notch:

-greddy emanage engine management=MAKE SURE TO GET THE ULTIMATE
-greddy turbo= TOO SMALL IMO
-310cc injectors= TOO SMALL IMO
-downpipe= MAKE SURE ITS 2.5"
-port and polised intake manifold= 100% NOT NEEDED
-70mm throttlebody=100% NOT NEEDED
-aem fuel rail=100% NOT NEEDED

i made 317whp with stock fuel rail, IM, and TB. ive seen guys make 400 with stock fuel rail, im and tb. you should get a GT28RS turbo... its a dual ball bearing and it spools insanely quick, and its good up to 350whp.

go for it!

what horror stories have you heard about b18's in ek9's?

horror stories about turbo hondas- duh,read it again
b18 in a ek9 just isnt enough power i dont think

dont think the greddy turbo kit is too small for 250 at the fly im not out to build a pure drag car blinx,im out to build a car that will be nice on the street and track im not a big fan of pure wheel spin,and i think from my past experiences that 250bhp is LOADS in a fwd hatch,UNLESS building a drag monster

 

[blinx9900]

250bhp is like 212whp, you can do that all motor easily, why waste your time a do a turbo setup if you have such a low hp goal? at least do 250whp. i dont build pure drag cars either, i plan to road race my car, so far ive taken it through some canyons and its pretty fun and reducing wheelspin by reducing power just dosent make sense man. you just get good tires, a proper boost controller and a good tune and you wont have much wheelspin at all. its up to you in the end though

the greddy turbo is the size of a DSM turbo dont waste money on that i been there and done that.. get a gt35 or 40 want power go big because u going to fean for more HP and boost
