alright im gettin tuned on monday(oct 3) and i was talkin to my tuner and he said it should be around 320whp...does that sound about right for this setup?

last years set up..
b16a2
drag gen III turbo kit
440cc injectors
hondata s200
apexi N1 exhaust(cat..2.5inch dp)
8psi 222whp 165tq

this year
precision sc50 .63ar .69 trim
golden eagle sleeves(83mm)
arias pistons 9:1 (83mm)
eagle rods
3inch mandrel bent exhaust(no cat)
RC650cc injectors
act xtss clutch
gsr cams
aem fpr
aem fuel rail
i was hoping to make alittle more than 320whp
what u guys think?

chrisgottigsr

320whp should be easy to achieve with that setup. u should get a 68mm or 70mm throttle body, cam gears and a intake manifold.

ochsy03

yea i will lookin into cam gears

I hope you have an aftermarket map sensor (2.5 or 3 bar) :-)

ochsy03

yea i got the gm 3 bar map sensor

get it tuned somewhere else a set up like that sohuld make at least 380-400whp. thats if you loose the cat and get 3 inch turbo exhaust piping.

You could make what a stock B16 would make actually if you leave the wastegate open. I don't honestly think you are doing that (duh) haha. What I am getting at is you didn't specify how much boost you will be running on that turbo.

ochsy03

i told him 15psi but he said i could run more if i wanted to..i wanna run the highest psi i can and still be safe cause this is a street car and dont wanna blow anything up. i thougth i could make around 350whp on a good tune

Dunc

I'm not sure what that turbo is rated at as far as efficiency....but typically I would try to stay around 18-20psi on pump gas. That's another thing I would look up, make sure you don't turn the boost up past its efficieny range or try and run way more whp than its rated at.

ochsy03

the turbo says 450hp...so it would be safe to run like 19 psi on pump gas daily drivin? i thought that might be to high..i just want the most whp i can get and still be safe..thats y i sleeved my block cause my car only has 51k miles and i want it to last awhile.thanks again for your help

Dunc

If it's tuned properly 18psi should be just fine....19 should be fine but just make sure the tune it good.

TurboCoop

Yeah you should have way more than 320hp, easy. I had 317whp @ 12psi on my LS/Vtec, stock sleeves, 450cc injectors, Hondata s100... Your setup is way better than mine, Id say about 400whp, with your setup. Your tuner either doesnt do many hondas, or he just sucks Try to find someone else, it will be worth it to have someone with vouches do it-- even if it costs more.

ochsy03

well from my experience and what i hear hes a great tuner, well ls/vtec will make alot more power than my b16, i know hes a safe tuner maybe thats the reason y the power wont be very high...but i thought for sure it would be over 320whp..its gettin tuned tomorrow!! so i will let u guys know

TurboCoop

Oh, I was thinkin it was a B18C. You should still have like at least 375, you could tune it to the max to see what it can do, then tune it down a little for safety. Plus you will get a cool dyno chart that says you have more power than you actually do
Let us know how it turns out. Good luck too

ochsy03

yea im gonna tell him to tune it at like 18 or 19 psi....ill see what happens..still hoping for 350 but i know its not gonna happen from what hes tellin me. but yea i will see..ill let u guys know

ochsy03

well theres alittle delay or something do it wont be tuned today...so ill post the sheeet tomorrow if it gets done

ochsy03

well it got tuned...325whp at 18psi ..but sure on the tq post up dyno sheet later on

TurboCoop

that doesnt seem right??? I wanna see the dyno sheet, somethings weird
Look at my dyno, im only 8 less hp with 6 less psi, that doesnt make sense, the extra .2 liters isnt that big of a damn difference.

TurboCoop

What did you tuner say, I know he didnt say that was all he could get out of it. Was there a weak link in the setup anywhere??

JDM00SI

yeah i expected alot more power, find a different tuner, or you have a problem with something.

ochsy03

sorry corrrection....339whp 269tq at 18psi

TurboCoop

Im sure it feels fast as hell, but you should still have better numbers. Are you gonna post up the dyno sheet?

ochsy03

yea it feels fast as hell but traction sucks in 1st and 2nd..yea ill post it up alittle later

Oh yeah, I dont get traction at all anymore. I bet im gonna have to get used to the track all over again before I run a better time. I just ordered one of the ball bearing center sections for my turbo too, so its gonna get worse. Were gonna have to invest in some slicks soon arent we?

ochsy03

yea im worried about breakin axles.... lookin to get lsd
