Hi names Damian hence the username omen, new to Hondas never owned one but got my hands on a cheap little X plate ej9 1.4. £300 in good condition for what I'm gunna use it for, So basically long story short , I've had nissans skylines and Astra vxr,s had to sell em on to either fund house deposits or other reasons, so went to my local drag race track and miss the joys so decided to purchase this Honda with plans to build a b18c4 turbo civic, looked on YouTube seen some nice examples and now here I am so this is it the car is in the garage with the 1.4 still in tomorrow I'm searching for a b18c4 full conversions and then to ge the turbo kit,

So I would like to know is this does any other member on her done the conversion before and ca to give me some advise ORs there a how to guide on here I can read through?

Cheers damian
 
read robthedocs ek9 turbo build mate loads of info and im sure he would give you pointers great member to follow
 
What your looking to do has been done hundreds of times, plenty of info about.
First your looking to do a bseries conversion on the car, so search that.
 
Also it would be an ej9 turbo.
 
My Ek9 was B18C4 converted with a turbo comversion. I used a racetech turbo kit, it worked for me for what I wanted. Td05 turbo, 3" cold side boost pipe work, 725 ID injectors, Hondata s300 ecu and a map at RDT in Doncaster. Made 357 at the flywheel. It's been done plenty of times before, loads of information out there about what's good and what's not so good.
 
In all seriousness tho if you have any questions ask away, I'll tell you everything I know... take about 5 minutes.
 
You have kept tabs on how much you spent? :nerv:
I just kept spending until it was finished haha.

I stopped after a few K, but I have a rough idea in my head haha :eew:
and they're never finished!
 
I have no idea what's I've got in it. All I know is a box file struggles to close with the receipts :wtf2:
 
Between @jesse888 @nicole_ @Murray @irf myself and others theres nothing we don't know about turbo'ing b series engines what we don't know we tend to make up and just go with. For me with very limited success :))

If in doubt - gypsy fab. It never fails, well not until after the MOT atleast.

I'll never be able to count how much I've spent, would be a sickening number that the Mrs can NEVER find out!

The loom is useless to you mate. You will need a B series Obd2B engine loom from an Ek4/9.
