B18A1 350 to 400 HP

[Roger91GSR]

This is my first Integra and I absolutely have a ball driving it! It has supposedly had the engine rebuilt according to previous owner. I have replaced many suspension parts and recently removed A/C system and installed 1/2 radiator for future turbo install. My question is on getting around 350 to 400 HP without losing the ability to drive it alot. I want to do this the correct way, meaning having the motor work done to create the HP and handle it and not just relying on turbo alone. I am not looking to build the fastest car around, just want to have fun smoking cars who don't expect it from a little car. Any advice would be appreciated.

do you have the ability to build a motor?

 

[Roger91GSR]

No, I will be having it done by a professional. I can do most repairs to any vehicle but have only built 2-stroke engines for racing ATV's.

just take it to the builder and tell them what you want. The builder should also know how to tune.

I have been reading on these forums and everyone talks about changing heads, changing motors, etc. Is the 350 to 400 HP safe and dependable on the B18A1(after having the engine build done)? Also, is the factory transmission better to build or should I be looking for a different one to put in?

i would get a new transmission and stuff. Youre pushing your luck if you want 350-400 on a b18A. I would get a B18C1 motor and boost it.

Thanks for the input Samurai_Blue

If you want 350+, sleeve it to be reliable.

So in a nut shell:
Sleeved block,
forged pistons and rods
lots of machine work
professional blueprint and assembly
all new OEM parts
name brand turbo parts
tuning platform
upgraded fuel system
lots of gauges
professional tuner

Good?
