X2BOARD

Just wondering for my future dreams.

I'm running an 11.5:1 CR on my all motor gsr, but I love my boost. Just wondering if it would be stupid for me to even dream of a t3/t4 or straight t4 in the future with a little does of boost (6-8psi) just to see what she'll do as I KNOW, I'll get bored of spray soon. I was figuring to down the CR a little, like 0.5 or so when this is done...but...

Is that too crazy to ask for a daily driver ?

BTW, before the flame-**** start...

Forged internals and engine built for nitrous (increased clearances)

With race gas I don't see why not.

But personally, for a daily driver I wouldnt boost over 10:1 cause I like the idea of using 91-92 octane and more than 6psi

X2BOARD

Well, I'd be running 95oct daily... not exactly race gas... but I've heard of the RSXS turbo guys running low boost with it's high *** CR... just curious. anyone else ?

spend the money on tuning (properly)....and you should be fine with about 6-8psi...I would error on the safe side when it comes to the fuel and spark though

Well, I wouldn't touch this setup w/o at least hondata or a haltech unit. It won't happen for a while anyway... I'm still basking in the all motor sun.... but I gotta have a plan no that the all motor plan is in place...lol

I was considering S/C... but I'm a turbo guy.

I hear ya.....well i don't see any problems since your going to tune it with a quality set-up

i wanted to run close to the same set up on my b16. i wanted just under 11:1 compression though boosted with a greedy set up (18g turbo). i want to run 6lbs daily and 12-15 at the track with race gas and of course tuned with my hondata.

race gas ---good tuning---colder plugs---not too aggresive timing--low boost should be ok

again... i am looking for a daily driver... not a race gas setup.

On pump gas, even 95 octane its gonna detonate. The harmfull effects of detonation will slowly tear the motor apart over the course of a year and one day their will be a major failure.

Huh, I did 11.2:1 compression on a piston/rod built b16a block awhile ago. I ran 9lbs everyday on 93 octane, lasted for well over a year before I sold it to a local guy.

you should be okay if it's properly tuned.

if you trust the tuner, than yeah. otherwise, i woulnt risk it unless you dont mind blowing it up.

What about an 11.0:1 ? Using a lowering HG... anyone currently running something like this ? I can imaging how nice the powerdelivery would be....

it's hard to be successful building a honda motor when you build it for boost/nitrous/allmotor. Pick one, build the motor for that. simple.

i'm sure you can get away with 5-7psi on 11.5:1 but with miami's heat, occasional crappy gas, and lack of honda tuners, I would stick with nitrous. Your just asking for problems with that much compression and boost. Not that you can't do it, but do u really want to take the risk of blowing yur built gsr motor.

Well, I'll be running that setup in the caribbean... not as hot as miami, but still, the lack of honda tuners...hell, even less ! Hondas aren't to popular for modding down there.

Well, the motor is built for nitrous, so it should lend itself to boost decently, considering the clearances used. But eh... just looking for info. To be honest, by the time I would consider boosting this engine... the car will be my weekend driver/track bitch more than my daily roar runner.

what about propane injection, you'll be on pump gaz with 110 octane, and you'll be safe
