I have a b16a2 swap in my hatch and plan on going boost. My turbo set-up so far is:
nuekin ramhorn manifold
precision sc61 turbo and intercooler
skunk2 fuel rail and id 1000 injectors
hondata s300

What else would everyone recommend? I will be building my gsr shortblock this year but want to run a turbo b16 for this year. Would you recommend arp headstuds, if so, should I also get a thicker headgasket or just boost the b16 with 10 psi.

 

well what kind of power do you want to put out. you should arp head studs and you dont really need the thicker gasket.

 

Most important thing is a tune. headstuds and a oem HG will be fine.

 

I am hoping for 270 whp. Anyone else has an input on the headgasket. What sideband would you suggest? I was told the aem uego has a slight delay in response. How's the innovative lc-1 wideband?

 

270whp is very easy for a b16. i would try to get a little more power with that turbo...

 

Stick with the oem head gasket and arp's run it on e85 and your good

 

Ok, so my set-up so far should be okay. When I get it tuned, have them tune it for e-85/ and 91 octane for daily. Thanks for the input. I was told from previous owner he made 300 from this turbo kit.

 

tons of people have taken stock b16s to 300whp without even doing the studs. you could if you don't mind pulling the cams and setting up the VT again. personally i'd focus on that gsr build and just run the b16 as is till it's done.
