I know several people using those manifolds and turbos just fine though. I mean, you get what you pay for. But hey, if its the best he can afford, then so be it. Later he can upgrade. I do find the piston thing to be kinda ridiculous though. :/

nothing. they are both cheaply made turbos... that are selling for next to nothing. friend of mine had a xs power... on a built b16 hatch... tuned on 15 psi... the housing literally was coming apart after abou 4 months.

I had a XS power turbo on my KA-T, the only thing that broke was my head.

Okay I'm confused. I'm buying a b18c R that's been bored out 20 over. Does that make is a 81.2mm?

I need to know cause I wanna Turbo this block and make sure I have lower c/r

And if the size of the engine is 20 over what size pistons do I need? How much clearance does the piston need from the block?

Sorry, Im new in the game. lol

Holy shit this thread is 4 years old. wtf.

You need not to touch anything & pay someone who knows what they are doing.

What piston's you need for a .020 over bore is just fucking common sense man.. seriously, think about what you just asked.
