You can't really supercharge a B18C5 very effectively. The compression is high enough that under considerable boost, you get detonation.

Also, don't buy a B18C5. For the extra money you pay for the Type R engine, you could buy a B18C GSR engine and build it up enough to be stronger than the B18C5.

I also wouldn't turbo an engine with 150K without rebuilding it first.
