Is a B8-ME even able to take a turbo/ or proformance parts

[madmax_2069]

can this be done to a B8-ME. would it even be worth putting one on a B8. what can i do to a B8 proformance wize and what would be the proformance gains of adding proformance parts on the B8. if there is any. is the B8 even able of producing 140-200whp

they've been turboed before.

it's still more worthwhile to go with a bp

just do a headswap. the B8 has the same bottom end as a BP. and if you swap a BP head onto it, it'll lower the compression which is a good thing for boost

and while you're at it, port and polish the BP head, and souce out a gtx/gtr intake manifold so you dont have to splice your ecu for VICS

The F series transmission is weak. Get the G series.

[madmax_2069]

weak as in cheaper parts or somthing else

They just don't hold up like the G series do.

They are known to blow up. I would just get the G series, especially if you're going to be making more power.

[madmax_2069]

i bought replacement cv joints and had them installed about a month and a half ago for it would those still work in the G tranny

[Mazda_Powered]

unfortunately they wont madmax. totally different, you'll need a G series tranny, axles, clutch, flywheel...i think the shiftlinkage is the same, never really compared.

hope this has helped

ah man i guess i will have to wait cause i dont want to blow money like that on somthing and get somthing else that wont work with them i guess i will have to keep stock then. man that suck's

BTW what would the F tranny hold up to with out hurting it. would it be able to hold 15-20 hp more then stock

[Mazda_Powered]

yea, it should man, there's people here running BPs on an F series tranny that was in their 323. you should be able to run more than that, there's been one or 2 turboed SOHC's on this club.

like im sure if you do the headswap, it'll hold up fine, the clutch...might not?
