How much boost can I safely run on a stock b18b on a T3/T4 Hybrid setup. I plan to use the vortech FMU/Missing Link fuel setup with an SAFC to fine tune. I plan to run stock b18b pistons, and b18b rods.

P.S I tried searching..but the archived files have been disabled.

 

with proper tuning i would say 8-9psi,get some bigger injectors if you wanna up DA BOOST

 

sell the fmu and get 450 injectors and up the boost to 12 psi

 

I would run 11 at max. Keep it a little rich at be very conservative on timing up top. LS pistons are **** and any signs of detonation under full boost will destroy the ringlands.
Dont believe me? Take a look....

Yes, thats all 4 ringlands broken. I had the upper and lower broken. Each land was broken in 3 places.

with great tuning 20PSI... Inline pro sets up their customers on stock GSRs to run up to 23PSI...

 

Im looking at 6-8Psi daily.....I will eventually upgrade my fuel management..but i plan to run the FMU/Missing link until then....because i need to do more than just get hondata..i also need to buy an OBDI ECU and also jumper harness...

6-8Psi daily

If thats all your looking for then witht he setup you mentioned you will not have a problem at all.

 

yeah..6-8psi is what im looking for...i just wanted to see how much people push their b18bs to the limit with just a stock bottom end on a similar fuel management.

20 pounds

 

What the hell is up with inlinepro. I keep hearing people say "inlinepro did this" "inlinepro does this" Inlinepro sounds crazy to me. I can see runing extreme boost on a unbuilt motor with proper tuning if your runing a standalone. I cant see how these guys tell customers to boost 15-20psi on stock blocks with piggy backs. Thats not very smart. Piggy backs are crap. If you cant do it right then dont do it at all. The hack everyone runs is pure garbage in my opinion. I would never run that and if i did i wouldnt take chances and boost over 10psi.

 

my friend just dyno'd his car at 10 psi made 228 who and 204 tq...was stock ls t3/t4...but 240 at 11psi

 

I made 219 whp and 192 tq on 7 psi of boost. This was on a completly stock motor with untuned hondata. I have the video to prove it too.

im just not looking for extreme boost..i just want a realiable daily driver with boost...hehe. 6-8lbs daily on a t3/t4 would be perfect for me. Just want to be sure a stock b18b can handle it with an FMU/Missing Link setup.

Whats up man.. i have a ls motor in my 98 civic with a t3/t4 drag turbo. I just upgraded my exhaust and it runs 8 lbs now. The guy ghetto rigged it and i put the same size pipping all the way back. Pulls pretty hard from 6 lbs what i had before i got the exhaust done. I have stock everything. I have a vortech fmu, missing link,supra twin turbo fuel pump, but no safc yet. Its real rich...someone told me i could run up to 10lbs..also have upgrade injectors
