Got a b16a with a edelbrock fuel rail + regulator and a hondata intake spacer. What will I need to put a lil boost on this thing, im thinkin around 5-7 lbs

iamthefollower

a b series engine stock internals can handle around 300whp reliably.

dont think in terms of boost. think in terms of HP. boost wont effect the motors inertial force, HP will. 300 is a safe number.

i should have saved ur money on the fuel rail. stock ones are good for 500+ HP

I got a deal on the fuel rail and it puts quite a nice touch on my motor so im not mad about it, so if I put 7ish lbs of boost I shouldn't have many problems? Would the same theory apply if I just put a 50 shot of juice on it?

as he has stated, you can't really thnk of it in terms of psi. 7psi would be different on a little 50trim then what it will be on my t70 turbo, you have to look at what kind of HP you are wanting to be at.

So with that said, what is the HP range you are wanting to be at, and what turbo setup and such are you going to be using?

Im looking for like 230-250 whp. This is my daily driver so I don't need outrageous horses, I have a ls tranny so I figured the best thing to get the b16 out of low rpms is a turbo

iamthefollower

Ok, so you are wanting 230-250whp, so you could get a smaller turbo like a t3/t4e turbo or something of the sort and put about 9psi on it with a good tune and you will be good to go.

Think ill need injectors? Thanx btw

iamthefollower

you can get some DSM 450cc injectors for cheap, get on a DSM forum and go to the marketplace, I was on one and seen some Evo 550cc injectors going for $95, I paid $75 for my DSM 450's in my car. You just have to do a little modification to them but nothing big.

EHondaJDM

What kind of modifying? Will I need to hook up a resistor or are they the same voltage

iamthefollower

You will need to cut the inside of the injector out, where the little piece is sticking out. Not hard at all. If you are putting it in the 1995 integra that I see you have, then yes you would have to wire in a resistor box, but it doesn't take but a few minutes to do that either. Really simple.

EHondaJDM

where do I get a resistor and a wiring diagram to put it in?
Sorry new to boost

iamthefollower

you can go on phearable.net and get a resistor box and injectors or anything of that.. you could get a resistor box from an 88-91 Civic, or an early 90's integra. I don't know if 92 and 93 have them or not, they might. Let me see if I can find the wiring diagram and i will post it for you.

iamthefollower

ok here is what I used to do mine. You need an ohm meter to do it the easy way, or you can use a test light and stuff for the hard way, I didn't have an ohm meter so I had to use a test light and a paper clip and everything.. much much easier with a test light.

Kool man uve helped me tons, I work at a junkyard so I got like 30 civic/accord resistor boxes in a bucket, I mixed them cause they looked identical and someone told me they arnt. U have any idea?

iamthefollower

I used one off of a civic I know another guy that has used one from an accord, you won't be able to plug and play so you will have to wire the wires. But either one will work. Even if you have to get one from a DSM, i've heard people wiring them in.

EHondaJDM

Thanx again ill let u know how I make out

Thanx again ill let u know how I make out

i just got a 98 eclipse gst in at my job, will the injectors work off it even though its obd2? Also I know I can use the spool but what else does this piece of junk have that I can use?

EHondaJDM

Bump

EHondaJDM

Anyone?

EHondaJDM

CAN I GET SOMETHIN PEOPLE??

Not intending to be a d*** at all but, just judging by this statement/question you are no where near ready for a boosted car. Do a ton of research starting with the Turbo FAQ at the top of the forum, its a great read. Even if you are not the type to be mechanically inclined over time you can learn with lots of reading and some trial-n-error. As said earlier in the thread, shoot for hp goals or track times, not pounds of boost because that varies by turbo. If you are not intending to do the work, atleast research what parts you'll need and their cost online or local reliable sources, along with labor and dyno rates. So even if you have others do the install/tune you won't get ripped off $ wise and can make sure everything looks/works as it should.

EHondaJDM

its cool i just want to know what i can use, i still am reading up on everything im not just gonna throw it all on. u know i can use the 98 eclipse injectors on my 95 teg?
