I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

boost or NA?

Post by .saint » June 20, 2003

alright im gonna be doing my swap hopefully next summer if the bank gives me the loan. here is my question should i build myself a b16b or b18c-r all motor monster or build up a b16a with boost and push crazy hp amounts? im still not certain what i wanna do.

i think ill get a lil more respect if i build an all motor monster. then again i could always lower the compression in a few years and boost the jdm motor. but thats kinda poinltess depends on how speed crazy i get.

comments welcome. please 8)

All motor B16a build the head. And then buy a b18b block and CTR pistons. And your set, just swap out the block and tune. :2:

Make me horney just thinking about it.

Turbo for RWD

n/a for FWD


Go N/A, it shows so much technical skill if you can build up a b-series engine and run low 1/4 times

dude if your gonna go all motor... your gonna have to spend much more then a nicely done turbo setup and you probably wont achieve the same results.. sure a much flatter torque curve... but not as much hp as with the all mighty snail., personally I am a boost fanatic... nothing like hearing that wastegate.. hmmm brings chills down my spine.

Haha damn boost junkies. Remind me of crackheads in the car world, running fast. :P

If you wanna ball on a budget sohc-t is a good alternative though.
