WTK: Pros + Cons of turboing a B14 Engine

[Nismo2510]

Contemplating on putting a turbo on my B14 (GA15)..the car is daily driven
would it be reliable?...not looking for much gains, maybe about 5-7lbs of boost max
basically just get that nice bov sound , could it be done on stock internals...?
could it break the engine?..is it advisable to do so or not?..

note:
im not going for a ghetto install..
clean nice install..everything done right..because it makes no sense spending money twice...
if it can be done right the first time do it that way..

Lol i like what i said in the note section really make sense! I learn a new motto

[Nismo2510]

lol learn my lesson with them thing...if anyone has a b14 turbo engine i want some advice..

[kerron01]

It has been done many times. Good luck. I have a really mean turbo manifold for ga15/16 qg15/16/18
Might sell it if I get the price I looking for other wise I'll keep it snd find use for it in the future. Btw its brand new.

[Nismo2510]

dont mind buying the parts i have most of it already
ijust want to know if it makes sense..cuz im not looking for a setta of whp for racing
just for small gains and a nice hks sequential sneeze.
cuz im driving everyday..

Well if it just the BOV sound you want to hear then go right ahead make sure yuh have a piggy back to support you.The engine can safely handle 8psi.BTW who doing the install?

[kerron01]

Makes plenty sence to me just remember to upgrade ur stopping power.

as long as you know not to expect a great deal of hp increase and it is more for fun, by all means go ahead.i did a b14 i owned a few years ago.everyone told me not to because the money that i would spend could have easily been used in a sr20 conversion and be faster.lets just say i proved them wrong

Not sure who is going about doing the install as yet.,
but it has a guy on my side in Hermitage
that only fixes and deal up in modified engines, so im not sure if ill go by him.
My parts are going be here in February so i want to know what im doing first
I want to do it, is just the everyday driving im worried about if it would mess up my engine
its a B14 n/a in a B12, but i was told as how the throttlebody is build up right some crap with the MAF sensor and such, it does be kinda difficult to boost it not sure as I'm not fully technical with the turbo business ,
I'm not going for hp gains to race men down a stretch,or to burn gas going down the road as is daily driven, just want to hear a nice *HKS sequential* as the gears change, and just to pretty up the bay with some chrome piping, as my car isn't really built for all the speed, because of its stanced nature , negvative camber and fitment of the tyres, I built it to be low and stanced (stretched tyres etc)
I've read threads about how people said their engine heads crack, and all kinda thing blow..
thats what im really scared about so im finding out...i really dont want to invest my money into a set of engine problems..other wise i would just run a fancy cold air intake to get some chrome piping..and pretty up the bay a little.. as the engine works flawless as is..

some more details and advice would be nice...would it be worthwhile to go the turbo route?..
thanks for the help

I say go ahead with it with the purpose of improving fuel efficiency rather than speed (seeing that its a daily car)

Pros : nice sound, saving money/fuel/environment
cons : cyar race nobody to compare genital size

[Nismo2510]

lolllll..kicks oui i will see how it goes

[Ted_v2]

So basically all you need is some bigger injectors and a ga16 trottle body. A turbo manifold. Oil lines and a tuner with a management. Intercooler and all that fun stuff
I say go ahead with the project. But me personally I'd sell the engine and tranny and upgrade to a sr20de.
