wondering if a stock type R can handle boost?

 

Yes.

 

i just denated a b16a all i have left is the type R. haw much boost? i have a drag 3 kit with a aem ems and 550 injectors.

 

im sure you can get away with 10-12 psi reliably considering its tuned well and your not a dumbass when it comes to taking care of your car... all depends on the tune, 8psi no problem

 

thanks for all the help

 

No, don't do it you will blow your **** up dude!

 

R's love boost

 

Hey, I know nuttin bout boost really, but a friend blew up his type-R on 5 psi. Most likely untuned, but still...

 

I saw a R dyno on here somewhere running 5 lbs. on a vortech FMU, making a **** load of power. Just be careful with tuning.

 

Its all about the tuning... plain and simple

 

i was only running 5psi and blew the b16a. i had a local shop do my tuning. not to happy.

 

You cant boost an R dude.Dont you know the rulez? C5's are for all motor

 

i know. just thought i would ask.

 

i was totally joking , i guess its not as funny to a newbie. Inside joke.
Mine was boosted on the stock motor i made 300whp on8psi with minimal tuning , and 5very very simple set up . i then started running 11psi everyday . im sure i was making some sick power, but never made it back to the dyno to retune on that motor. youll love it, just get a good tuner and a good standalone

 

Boosted it but get it tuned so it doesnt go BANG!

 

type r = high compression

boost = low compression

problem solved, sell it and get a b18

Don't go back to the shop. If for some reason you do kick the tuner in the nutz.

 

yes it can be done just get it tuned by someone who knows their **** in my case there insn't a tuner I can trust around here

 

Hey Bro-

A type R is a very good engine to start with for a turbo setup. Its one of the most powerful engines Honda makes but you should be careful running a turbo setup in it. Your eninge should be able to handle a fair amount of boost but its not about what it can handle, its all about TUNING! Many cars that have a decent engine can handle a significatn amount of boost with proper tuning. My reccomendation would be to get a very good management unit (i.e. Hondata) and do some serious tuning. You get what you par for with a turbo kit, so tune as much as possible and kick some *** in kick *** car.

high compression + less bost = low compression +more boost

 

as long as you don't detonate go nuts.
