I have a B16A / 11.1 / T3/T04E drag kit tuned at minimum 7Lbs i am building for daily. Does anyone recomend using a G eagle block guard or are there any other competitors more reputable.

 

You dont need a block guard.. you dont need a block guard @ 12-15 psi neither..

Should make smoe decent power if you up the boost a bit..7 psi isn't gonna really make you smile.

 

I am not looking to make a **** load of power, ill be happy with 300hp. I just want my block a bit more protected. I re searched a bit before making this thread an i only see a few people saying not to an most saying its good if you make mid power an have a high redline.?

 

My street setup is a built 10:1, stock sleeve GSR @ 400whp. No block guard.

For your power level, you won't need anything.

Slip-in/press-in block guards are useless.

Stock sleeves are good for around 450whp give-or-take depending on supporting internals.

Anywhere after that power level, do it right and sleeve the block.

 

Ok, i am running a 11.1 with Cast pistons 11.1 an stock Pr3 connecting rods. Besides Arp headstuds the motor will be stock for the time being. I hear mixed stories of detonation with the high compression Type R pistons if i get bad gas or bad plugs. Ill be re sarching to find which plugs are the coldest an usually only run Shell station surpreme fuel. So hoping it holds together for a while

 

just a 7 heat range will be fine for power about the 300-330whp range, (regardless of boost pressure), so there's no need to search for that.

Turbocharging a 11.0:1 B18 engine is not that much of an issue based upon the compression you're listing. However, that doesn't mean that you can simply depend upon the "tune" to determine whether or not the car will behave as it should in stock form. Its best to keep power levels around 300whp regardless of which turbo you choose.

 

Yeah i choose my tuner wisely. Gonna make sure he takes his time on it for the $. I have a B16 BTW not B18. An thanks for the quick plug tip. I don't plan on hot rod'in it every day. Just something clean an low daily with a litle get up

 

understood. Whichever engine you're using, principle is the same.

 

Appreciate it.....
