Default Self Built / Self Tuned B16a

It has been a long road for me to reach this state.

I bought all my turbo parts used, except for my intercooler which i got at a steal!
I am currently at 14PSI Feels great, about 500km on the motor so far, no issues.


This is the first motor i built all by myself....
My motor consist of, [dont knock me, its a budget build]
USED Srp 81mm Pistons
Eagle Rods [NEW]
ACL Main and Rod Bearings
Fjt Gasket and Seal Kit, Includes Head gasket
ARP Head Studs
99-00 Integra Type R Cams
[Stock Valve Springs, 8000RPM Rev Limit]
Skunk2 Cam Gears


Turbo Setup........ All used parts
eCtune - Thanks Calvin!
3 Bar Map sensor
Tial 38mm Wastegate
Tial 50mm BOV
Spooling Performance Intercooler Pipe Kit 2"Hot - 2.5 Cold"
Precision 350HP Intercooler
Precision 880cc Injectors

The compression Should be arround 8.5:1...
At 14psi, What hp level should i be over?

I know no bench guessing, but should i be over 250hp?

Why such a low compression ratio?

Go to a dyno. I think it should be a standard thing that after you finish your set up you should have to get it dynoed! Or else everyone will be like "I think its at like 300whp" then if they loose a race they will say "prob only at 275whp"

Without knowing which manifold you're running its hard to pin it down to an exact number, but i'll take a stab. I'd say at 14psi on a 60 trim, you're probably in the 315-330whp range. I'd give you higher, but that 2.5" exhaust on a low comp B16 is throwing me off...i'd like to see how close that is. I guess the power also depends on your tuning ability...sounds like fun either way

Its one of those cast manifolds....
Wastegate in the center...

The timing is on the low side, 1* per psi.
Also is very rich, low 11's afr...
I like to play it safe!

I still need to find a way to install my IAT sensor in my charge pipe, i got one of those b16a types....

Safe is one thing.. but remember, too rich is also bad. You can wash the cylinder walls of oil. I would say high 11's are more along the lines of a "Safe" A/F ratio if you are concerned. You should be fine a low 12's.

depends on the fuel^

On 93 octane at 13 psi, im around 11.5-11.8.

on my fuel blend, at 18 psi, it makes most power at 12.5 afr and 26* timing.

This is on a stock usdm b16a just with head studs.
