turbo b18b in accord?
i have a f22b2 right now and i think that instead of going with a h22a that i might go with a b18b and turbocharge it....ive never heard of someone putting a b18b in an accord is there some reason or should i just stick with swapping the h22? seems like the b18b can make some nice numbers with a turbocharger...and if i swap the h22 i wont turbo it for a while......
thanks
thanks

You might have nice numbers but in a heavy car like the accord you'll still be slow. The lack of torque in the b serie engine would hurt performance in an accord. Seems like u really wanna go turbo. Why don't u just boost your f22b2 it has a lot of potential with force induction.

that 1.8L engine doesnt have enough torque to get the accord moving.
Even though its turbo'd it will have to spool pretty high up there to get that beast moving.
the money you'll spend on the b18b T , you can just turbo ur f22.
Plus the F22 has alot more torque than the b18, and in a heavy car torque is good.

i'd go with f22b1 turbo
or get the vtec head on there if you have a b2
i think that the b2 has a higher compression ratio than the b1
i think the b1 has like 7.5 and the b2 has 8.5 or 9.1
so putting the vtec head on a bottom end with higer compression than the regular b1 has, with a turbo, could be an interesting setup
the compression isn't too high to where you can't run boost
