Default B16 boost question...

What's the most I could boost on a stock B16 bottom end?

reasonably speaking you should be able to boost up to 8 psi safely. with out any modes done to the block. if you use a lower compression gasket you can even take it up to around 15-20 psi

So you're saying just a gasket can be a 7-12 psi difference?

I don't think just a gasket will cause enough compression drop. Pistons too.....

He means with proper tuning.

I had my b16a2 tuned for 10psi with hondata, stock compression...I didn't take it that high ever on the street on the track, but my tuner said it would be fine once in a while.
