I got a B16A2 and tore it down with the intention of building it N/A, but a ride in a Jason Hunt tuned GSR with a revhard kit convinced me to go to the dark side.
Basically I'm just wondering what compression ratio people would recommend for:
Stock block B16A2
Eagle rods
CP/endyne/wiseco pistons
ARP studs
mild head work
GT30R (SC60 etc..) at the very most
This is a street car, in fact my daily driver so I'm thinking 9.0:1 would be too low and make the car really feel like a 1.6l. I was actually thinking something around 10.0:1 to help with low end and spool as I'd rather have response over a wall of power. Keep in mind I have no intention of making more than 300whp on pump (93) or revving past 8,500. I'd like it to be reliable...
any (helpful) input would be appretiated

PS. I think this is doable from what i've read knowing a decent tune is a must. The GSR I spoke of has been pushing 10psi on the SC60 making 250whp/190wtq (with a 60mm chambered exhuast ) for a year now with no issues so I have confidence a semi-built b16 could handle it.

i would go cp 9:1,and if you go 10:1 it wont spool your turbo noticably faster.its still a 1.6ltr

and if you do get a gt30r series turbocharger you will have a great powerband.
i would recommend a gt3071r for your needs.my opinion

did some reading on that turbo and most of them come internally gated with a T-25 flange... not sure how difficult it would be to source manifolds, DPs with those configurations.
About the 9:1; Do you recommend it for the added head-room of tolerable levels of knock/det or simply because you can run more boost and timing and make more power top end (kind of one in the same though i guess huh?)
thanks for the quick reply though

its externally wastegated
im not saying you can't run 10:1 it can be as reliable as 9:1 with a good tune.
like you said it helps with knock/det and more boost with pump gas.

i've used that turbocharger on the street and i think thats one of the best turbos to use for daily driving,alot of fun and it gives you room to improve later on down the road.

for downpipes and manifolds you can contact:full-race,peakboost,lovefab,neukin all great companies that can get you a manifold and downpipe.make sure to tell them what turbocharger your running.

in matterfact peakboost has a great special going on right now on downpipe,dumptube,mani.
