Completely pointless. (or should i say unecessary)

B18 will pull any huge turbo just fine and is easier to make more reliable due to thicker cylinder walls And revving higher will be much easier for the B18. Yeah you can sleeve the block etc etc but teh B18 will fit the application perfectly.

B20 bottom end is good when youve got ££££ to spend and if your kepping it N/A.

nice car mate

always had a soft spot for the integra dc2's but insurance is a bummer compared to the starbo

ive noticed many people leave the starbo scene and then later regret n come back

cant compare hi rpm n/a cars to the punch of a turbo' two different machines

anyways good luck with the project and keep us posted

Nice car mate, looks mint.

Got a guy looking for a B18C at the moment, its going in my EK9 :)

Will then do the usual header/muffler/decat/ECU tuning.

Compared to the Starlet, how do you find it?

I don't regret changing one bit.

if i do buy that guys engine it will still be stripped down and rebuilt. so i will probably end up doing one from scratch as i want to learn these engines inside out. :)

mines had the clutch and belt done at honda already before i bought it :p

cant really compare it to the starbo as its completly different, BUT what i will say is its alot nicer to drive for daily use, the build quality is superior, and its def not slow.. in the right hands the v tec is a tool, no doubt about it. and it will be even better once its got a turbo strapped to it ;)

i dont regret changing either mate, ive had my fun with starbo's (had 4 now) but my misses has still got one so i havent escaped the bug completly :p

Bonny looking car.

Theres a turbo Vtec sitting in the drive outside, great fun.

But some of the comments are hillarious in this thread.
Some people have no idea what they are even talking about! :p
