what kind of Turbocharger should a b18c5 be running with??? t3/t4 or like t6

I don't think u do...Y would u boost a type r motor??? That's stupid... its a hand bulit motor made for n/a... I wouldn't do it...

But if u insist i believe a t3/t4 would do it...

i was just wondering because i have a boosted type r. and someone mentioned running with a bigger turbo. but thanks

gt35r with some engine mods to follow suit

Let's see some Pics

say that is a beast pics please

T6 frame turbo on a four cyl honda HAHA. You'd probably NEVER spool that thing.

What are your plans for the car?

Sure you could ... high compression and a good turbo cam. Oh yeah ... and revving to the moon.


It all depends on what you want to use the engine for a smaller (properly sized) turbo will get you a nice smooth power band and good power delivery all the way to red line. If you want more peak power (and consequently a peakier power band) step the turbo size up a bit. Or if peak power isn't what you want and you don't plan on revving the piss out of the car all the time, consider a small frame turbo for gobs of low end torque, it will run out of breath and actually choke off your power up top, but it will be a shit ton of fun on the street.

For a type-R motor I would personally use a bigger T3 or a T3/T4 beacuse I like my turbo response ... full boost by 3.5K (ish) is a kick in the pants and all sorts of fun even if you aren't making big numbers (although you can with T3). High comp + turbo = win.

for some reason im leaning to the t3/60-1. I think tthat would be an awesome one for ya! also need to know the mods on the engine. is it completely stock?

A Type R engine? Not being rude, but those engines are hand assembled, it's kind of insulting if you turbo it

wait so basically u dont want to turbo a type r engine? cuz i was thinking of buying a gsr type r but i heard that isnt enough to beat like an srt4 so i was thinking if i bought that i would turbo it that wouldnt be a good idea?

ok, there is no such thing as a GSR type r, they're two different engines..

USDM GSR= B18C1
USDM Type R= B18C5
JDM GSR=B18C and has the 'upside down' intake mani
JDM Type R= B18C and has red valve cover, chrome cap, B16 style intake mani


and yes, with proper tuning a boosted type r is downright nasty

haha thanks man cuz ive been thinking about getting the jdm type r and turboing cuz i found one for around 3500 is it worth it??

Just curious, what's so important about being able to beat an srt4? every time i see you post its about whether something will beat an srt4.... someone giving you crap about import vs domestic? Just plug his exhaust before the race, you'll take him for sure haha

haha just a friend of mine owns one and says he will beat me even if i do get a gsr just wanna know my stuff u know. and yea i konw i put to much on srt4 hahaha but just wanna show him up
