Don't go by BOOST!!!

Your question should be....how much HP can my block hold?

And it has been cover many, many times.

Ludeist

thanks for that m8 ill try to search the site for the correct anwser..

i recently went and found that my block i belive can handle 250+ but like you said ill hunt the site and see..

any reason i should not go buy boost?
beings how if i was only useing low boost= low power

Jo3f1sh

Yes...different turbos create different power at different amounts of boost.

I've seen many different vehicles put down different HP numbers on the same engines and same boost levels, but with different turbos and setups.

Just be careful, boosting on stock internals can be risky if your tune is mild.

Ludeist

thanks im still hunting for the numbers but i got to get back to work got some car's jsut came in..

basterd needs a cam ajustment ill be back after work

Go look at compressor maps. You will want a turbo that will spool up by 4k so you can still us all the power.

I would recomend the GT30.

There are many variables you have to look at when buying a turbo. Search the FI section

keep it simple...get a 57trim, shorty ramhorn, full 3" exhaust and the works. Get a better turbo once you build the engine or decide what your future goals are...

The tune determines the longevity of the motor. You can't determine anything off the word "boost". Safely i'd say 250-300 whpis plausible if your block was in perfect shape and the person tuning isn't a complete retard.

well hopeing for the best the car is a 1996 acura integra rs block non vtech b18b1 with 21,473 miles on it.. yea i know its low was a old guys car and sold it to me for 3k i was impressed.

you guys are awsome with the followups for me i appriate it alot..

Since i already bought the turbo
heres the link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

was a good buy not bad prices too..

befor i install it i questioned him as to the fit of my car. he says it will bit any b16/b18 honda/acura

so if it dosnt fit he will take the return with no restocking fee

befor i install it what should i do as to be safe with the engine?

I have a boosted stock internal b18b1. As stated before you dont go by "boost", you go by power. It is common place for boosted b18b1s to make around 300whp safely.

I run an inline pro manifold, garrett 60 trim with .63 ar turbine housing.

Youre not going to have problems with the engine lasting...that turbo setup is complete garbage and will fall apart long before your engine wears out

First id send that **** back and get quality parts off the sponsors in the forced induction classifieds here on HT. Those cheap kits found on EBAY usually always consist of weak manifolds and even weaker turbos that tend to fall/blow apart.

As for your engine, do a compression test and a leakdown test. Get one step colder plugs and do a tune up.

A local guy didnt believe me when i warned him about his cheap ebay turbo, 2000 miles later it blew apart while cruising on the highway covering everything with oil.

Heres some parts you can look into if you're on a budget but still want good parts.

Borg warner turbo
revhard manifold
knock off greddy type s bov

Ludeist

not bad parts and thanks again the assistance guys

azzure180

My cousin boosted his DA ls on 12psi daily on a apexi afc with dsm 450 injectors. It never blew up its still running right now. turbo was a precision sc 50 i think.

nickg07

8-12 psi

thanks for the completely useless post

BMo Tuning

Lol a local guy has a mid 11 second turbo LS coupe running either a 60 trim or an an sc61/63 (i forget), he ran about 15-16psi daily tuned on AEM by one hell of a tuner tho. That car most likely made around 350-370whp.

A friend of mine had an LS hatch that went consistent 12.0s all day running 14lbs on a 50 trim, car made 293whp i believe.

If tuned properly IE DO NOT SKIMP ON TUNING!!!!!! A properly setup ls turbo can make 300whp all day with no problems on a healthy engine. If you want more then get a set of eagle rods (300 dollars) and a decent set of pistons from CP, JE, ARIAS, etc and have a 2/3 built engine for under 1000 and be able to make well over 400whp.
