planning on boosting a b16b in my hatch.... question is what is the safest amount of boost i can do without doing damage to the motor. i know compression is 10.8:1 which is fairly high. i am doing aftermarket headgasket and little things for extra insurance. oh yeah i will be tuning on hondata s300. any knowledge will be great!

 

people on stock motors usually run around 8-12psi without worry, or atleast that is going to be the most common answer. i ran 8psi on a stock gsr motor with a greddy kit for almost year with no problems. with a good tuner and a strong motor to start with its really up to you but the cast stock pistons will most likly what holds you back.

 

you should be fine on 8-10 psi like just get a good tune and have fun with it...plus you said you are gettin a headgasket and get some arpheadstuds so that you dont have to worry about the head liftin

 

i forgot to say that im doing the full-race prostreet stage 2 setup. what numbers will i probally put down with a good tune and 10 llbs of boost?

depends on the size of turbo, if you ran a gt-42r on 10psi you probably would get 350ish whp compared to a tdo4 probably like 260whp

 

thanks man, if there is any other tips anyone has to help me get as much whp please fell free to tell!

 

I have tuned a lot of 300 whp stock b series and have found it to be a safe power level.

 

not to thread jack but how does it sound 15 psi wth a extremly great tune like talking jason hunt and ppl like that

he resently tuned my buddy ek fresly rebuilded LS all stock 509 hp on c16 at 21 psi on a t70

 

i would really have to search for someone who can do a really good tune, i dont know of many people around me i can say are great tuners... if there are i just have not met them.

 

my next question it exhaust... full 3'' or 2.5 to 3''?

 

If you're in VA I would recommend Chris (Hondata Crome Etc) or Brad Brooks (AEM EMS DSM Link Etc). Great tuners

703 796 0040 (Ask for Chris and tell him Alpha sent you)
