Ok so i have a eg with a jdm b16a SiR II with short ram intake, usdm type r headers, type r intake manifold, 2.5 in. Srs exhaust, and a type r tranny with stage 2 clutch.. i am still in high school so money is really tight... my question here is what would be the best power producing mods for the best deal or are affordable for a high school student like me?

Kuhniee

ryanNoob

How much money you got?

Kuhniee

well at the moment not any really... i want to know what mods to save up for that will get me the most bang for my buck..

Red_Army

uhh turbo or N/A?
DD im guessing?
short shifter new bushings.
get a tuneable ecu program and get a tune. and run IHE for awhile...everything from that point on is gonna be costly.

nismokutz

your off to a good start. best route in my opinon and what i'll be doin is turbo. for now i would get a fuel pump and injectors, fpr, some kind of tunning. then piece together a turbo kit if thats what you wanna do. gl

98civdx

start saving for boost, fuel system upgrades, ingnition upgrades, ecu.

Best thing my friend ever did to his b16 was boost and tune.

kozanatos

how about breaks / suspension / mentioned alarm+switches / paint

hondata s100 with boost control,upgrade injectors,t25 turbo,cast iron turbo manny,inter cooler& turbo off a saab or volvo......upgrade fuel pump with a 255 wal-bro fuel pump its like 50-80 bucks new on ebay....your looking to spend like 282-400 buck for all this...cus thats what ima do on my d16z6 in my ej1 coupe

b16vt3c

also alarm & kill switch.......

Kuhniee

thanks for all the input.. it is a DD and eventually would like to go turbo... i was thinking a skunk2 intake manni and tb. headers. and not sure what all else. its got suspension and paint is ok. i was thinking about turbo later but what will a turbo do with a basically stock motor? will it be able to handle like 8psi?

mattyfo0z

It's not how many pounds of boost it will handle, but how much horsepower.

Kuhniee

ok so how much horsepower could it handle and wha would the boost be for that ? or is that too general of a question

98civdx

200-300+ any more then that i think you will really be stressing the interanals.

If you do intake manifold and tb you will need a tune to see the true performance.

OP save up a few grand, piece together a turbo setup, get a good tune and a bunch of tires

Kuhniee

thanks for the info guys... and i had been contemplating getting an ebay turbo kit... then getting a more reputable turbo to start and then upgrading the parts as i get the money etc... i dont know about ebay turbos tho... are they good? bad? any comments on that end?

98civdx

i have heard both good and bad about ebay turbo. but as Mcvtec siad, peice it togher.

My friend took a few months and like 2k but now has a turbo kit made up of all top of the line parts. Deals pop up all the time and there is noithing wrong with buying used parts.

Save up and get a good turbo, piece it together like ^^^^^ said. Ebay turbo's are made from poor quality parts and I am fairly sure they are not balanced. Ebay turbo usually = Epic Fail!

You do realize a T25 will run out of air way before VTEC even engages right? A 255lph Walbro for $50-80 on Ebay is not a real Walbro and WILL FAIL prematurely.

Get a 4.7 or 4.9 final drive and then attend as many driving events as humanly possible. You need to learn how to drive and be fast with what you already have before you go adding things.

dont get a eBay turbo kit cus it will blow on you cus trust me i had one on my old d16z6 turbo was a eBay turbo kit & it blow on my i was pushing 10psi on the d16z6 & after i got it tuned 350+whp after i got home the turbo was whisaling like shyt i was mad cus i had to get a full new turbo kit.....so i got a gt28r turbonetics turbo kit which cost me 1500 bucks brand new.....that gave me more power cus i build my motor......

b16vt3c

i have a t25 on my d16z6......it works perfect....on it spools up nice&quick

Koopa Troopa

I'm sure it does, because it's a T25. However it's still a T25 and it still has the ability to flow about as much exhaust gases as a slug's colon.

Considering the T25 is already spent at 4800 RPMs on a highly inefficient SR20. Imagine what it'd be like with a much more efficient head.

Red_Army

especially one running to 8300rpm.

sounds like your off to a good start. when you said header up there did you mean skunk2 header? or like ramhorn turbo manifold header? because don't waste money on a new header just to throw it out for turbo.

should be ok on 8 psi. crank gives out as mentioned above.
it was said like 10hp for 1 psi. i think.

be awesome when this is done.
