Default B16A boost question!! Please help, noob question :(!!

Hey guys

Got a pretty nooby question, but im gonna ask it anyway!!

Right, iv got a stock B16A (JDM) and im in the process of getting my hands on a vortech supercharger (8psi kit)

And basically what i want to know is if it will run reliable on this set up:

B16A 82,000 miles, run only on 99ron fuel (UK super unleaded) (mugen twinloop 2.5" JDM system with a magnaflow racing cat and 2.5" tri-y header from TDM products on here )

Changed sump, head, rocker, header, inlet and spark plug socket gaskets

ARP Con rod bolts

And tuned on Hondata with 440cc injectors, and probably an AEM FPR!!

Also thinking about a catch can as well!!


What do u guys think?

Just wanted personal opinions, not a vortech vs JR or turbo please !!


Thanks in advance!!

Can't see why not. I would think about uprating the clutch though mate.

When ever i see the topic of the supercharger brought up, everyone just says go turbo!!

Ill leave the superchargers for the V6 and V8s!!

nothing is reliable when you go FI. It could hold forever or go pop first time you tune it.
