i have a 92-95 dohc zc swap with a hydralic tranny and its going into a 93 hacth i was wondering how much boost the stock block could hold. please help i want to get this stuff found out and boost it. tanks also what stuff will work on that from a d series.

 

i would say no more than 8-9psi with a decent tune

I'd probably run closer to 5 or 6 if hes going for longevity.

 

You're all wrong.

we're not. he just being dumb.

 

stock sleeves can handle 300whp and pistons/rods about 200-250whp.

 

7 psi is good for any stock honda bottom end

9psi on a gt28 will produce more power than a t25 at 9psi.

So i'll say it again: you're all wrong.

Talk in terms of whp, not psi. 'The sol that could' has the right idea here...

I completely understand that. The thing is,

a) I didn't want to go into that, because with whatever turbo he is going to use, anything over 10 psi will probably break it relatively quickly

b) From what I can see hes just learning, and I gave him a conservative number for whatever setup he may choose.

 

thanks

 

im confused by this turbo **** thinking all motor may be my best bet i can due that **** myself i understand it and an all motor crvtec may be mor my line. itbs and a custom ecu and if i do a little more i can probably hit about 230 thats good enough for me. thanks for the help which do you think would be better for me. go all motor or boost

 

turbo is by far the cheapest way to make mad horsepower

turbo is the ****

The thing is though, you still are going to need to actually do research and learn stuff that I'm quite sure you don't already know. All-motor is just as hard to pull off if not more difficult than turbo, and it's also in most cases more expensive to make good power.

I'd just do some research and go boost

 

yeah, ur posting under "Forced Induction" so everyone's opinion is going to be a little bias...w/that said, boost is better. if ur trying to get ~230whp on a zc all-motor, then i say you're either crazy or you have oodles of cash.

Yeah...if you manage to do that you could probably get your car into magazines. That would have to be one insane all-motor setup.

 

no the all motor setup would be a crv-tec not the zc. i love all motor b series but i know people with boosted b series i wann ago a different route

So rather than fast you just want to be mediocre?

 

I had my stock 0bd0 dohc zc on 12lbs tuned on turbo edit with no probs.

 

i agree with vsm98civic.

psi is irrelevant to an engine's longevity under boost. its about whp/whp. perfect example, as he stated already, 7 psi with a 28r and 7 psi with a 40r are the same now? i don't think so.
