Post subject:  B18B questions.

Hey what up. I've been thinking about shit canning my turbo sohc Z6 for a B18B and boosting it. I dont know a whole lot about them so I have a few questions. What is the horsepower limits on a B18B(OBD-1) with stock internals before shit starts bending and breaking? What else would I need besides the obvious motor, tranny, ECU, etc. to do the swap? It would be going in a 95 Civic EX. Would I need a whole different wiring harness being that my sohc is vtec and the B18B isnt? if I wanted to go LS/Vtec would I be able to use the harness I have now just with a different ECU? Any info. would definatley help me out. Thanks. Peace.

<---B18B turbo. I made 262whp and 262tq on 10psi and stock timing. Totally stock internals.

I'm running a P28 w/ Hondata...just have the vtec disabled.

I'll talk to you tonight about it if everyone meets up.

I might bump up the psi before the new block is done. Just to mess with it.

Your harness will be fine. If you use a vtec ecu (planning ahead since you might want ls/vtec) and run hondata you could disable the vtec until you swap the head. Just make sure you plan ahead because no one is happy with just a little bit of boost...which is why my setup is a little overkill for my stock motor.

You'll love a dohc turbo.

haha...I think munster knows what he's talking about. I'm pretty sure there is a P28 ECU in the car now so I should be good on that. Would I be able to disable the vtec with Crome also....or just Hondata?

Not sure. I never even looked into Crome.

Do it. and simply use the stock integra mounts, shift linkage. use your stock wiring harness and let the vtec plugs hang there if you want, then if you do ls/vtec you can just plug em right in.
I ran chrome on my b series setup, there was alot of options but i'm unsure if you can/cant dissable vtec.
