hi guys
im looking at getting an ek9 type r, having some fun on track with the N/A and then building up a turbo motor to drop in.. i have a few questions (sorry im new to these engine's and still soaking up as much info as i can )
it will be a daily used street car so looking at 300-400WHP at the moment. reliability is a big factor, as in my eyes power is worth nothing without it..
the plan is to get a b18 bottom end, forge it up and then put the b16b cylinder head on it..
what b18 engine code is the best to turbo?
what power can the stock sleeve's handle reliabley ?
what options are there for uprated sleeve's? (brands etc)
is there anything other than rods and pistons in the bottom end that need uprating for use with a turbo? is the crankshaft up to the job? stock honda oil pump? etc etc
if i use the b16b cylinder head, does anything need uprating? (ie valve springs etc)
what forged rods and pistons are recomended? and where from?
what brand head gasket and thickness?
uprated head studs needed? ARP? where from?
i will have many more questions so i do apoligies in advance
