JDM B18c1 boost level?

Hey how much boost can a fresh JDM B18C1 handle?
Jdm motor never come with b18c1 code, b18c siR-G or b18c-R.
Stock internals i wouldnt run no more than 6-8 psi tuned.
Hmotorsonline is a good place but not cheap, you might wanna check it out to get an idea

Hmotorsonline is veryyy legit.. I've havent bought a motor from them but I have 3-4 friends that bought swaps from them with no problems what so ever. I've only bought lil things that they have there at there shop. Also a Gsr swap will run you about 2500 from HMO.

10psi is the most u wanna run on stock internals

Please read the Forced Induction FAQ before you misinform people :roll:

PSI is relevant to the turbo; 10 psi on a T25 is quite a bit different than 10 psi on a GT35R


OP, most people would agree that theorizing and creating builds based on a horsepower goal is a more accurate and efficient way to make proper decisions. Most would also agree that 300whp is the max you'd want to push on stock internals if you'd like to have your motor last more than a few thousand miles. In my opinion, it's better to play it safe - get some forged pistons & rods.

Most importantly GET A GOOD TUNE!!!

also your info about it lasting a few thousand miles is iffy to because it depends on how you beat on it my friend has a b20vtec-T teg that has lasted 3yrs now stock, he keeps running through turbo's but no motors but you are tight about psi.

Fawk a Title!
I agree with a few on here... but my 2cent is that if indeed want to take the risk and boost the most u can out of stock internal b18c I do suggest getting a precise near perfect tune before u start throwing rods and shit...

well as of now, I have a Greddy 18g turbo, front mount intercooler(massive), 440cc injectors, turbo manifold, all the piping, boost controller, turbo timer, oil filter adapter, all the gauges, now I'm piecing the ecu together lol but I'm on a budget of like $600 so its gonna be ridiculous.

If you have a turbocharged car, who wouldn't get on it? lol

I guess if you're making 500whp on stock internals but never hit boost it would last you a decent amount of time. But if you're not gonna drive it for its purpose, then why build it?

well if hes asking, im assuming hes getting a stage 1 turbo
Wtf are you talking about?

When it comes to forced induction...it's reliability is DIRECTLY related to the amount of money, time, and quality of parts you put into it. Save your pennies up and get some quality parts. If you piece together a setup with used or poor quality parts..it won't last, hands down.
