pretty simple question. in general (i know there are always execptions) how much boost can a stock piston, stock rod, stock block, stock headgasket, strait from honda...B16 take? i got good fuel management (Zdyne Gold/450's fro now).
thanks

 

depends .my stock 2nd. gen b16 took 8.5 lbs. before it popped. tdo5-18g (gsr kit)mits.turbo. gold ecu ,450's .the ringlands gave out .had near perfect a/f so wtf.
.................................................. ......good luck

 

sorry it would be a 1st gen B16, not that it would matter too much.

how long did it last?

 

10 lbs lasted one run.

 

the whole run?

 

I have hondata, and my old block took 10 psi everyday, and 15 psi on the track. Lasted about 3 months, but the ringland cracked cuz it went lean. If it wouldnt have went lean, I dont know???....

 

up this topic i wanna know to. just bought a drag gen 3 and i dunno if i wanna put it on now seeing that the longest lasting motor posted on this thread lasted only three months. i got a stock b16a too. wat about boost just 7lbs. daily? wat would be the life expectancy on that with stock injectors and fmu.

 

i have 1st gen b16a with vafc hack and 450cc runnning 10psi all day. i popped a my first b16a when i ran 12psi with stock fuel pump. it was running lean and i cracked a ringland.

 

I have a CRX with a B16a, Drag Gen3 turbo kit and Hondata. I ran 8-9 lbs daily and 14lbs for a couple days while my boost guage was broken. Have the stock fuel pump and it ran fine all summer. I am taking the motor out right now for a full build up during winter for alot more boost next summer.
Never had any problems at all. Just get it tuned.

 

on my stock B16 it lasted 12000 miles after boost. That was 12k of all hard driving and I had no air filter.

 

lasted me for a couple of years, 12-16psi+, 9000rpm daily...


...on 270cc injectors, and no tuning.

I have the Midas touch.

 

Did most of you use any headgaskets to lower the compression a bit?

 

i have a friend who is boosting 4lbs daily driven on a stock B16A2. its the GReddy setup made/designed for the civics~ forgot what size turbo.. sorry~

 

5psi for about a month so far on stock d16a6...soon will be 10 with new fuel system, i/c, and a tune. hopefully it'll last until i get the extra motor built.

 

2 years- 20K+ miles 8-10psi daily w/occasional 12-15psi.

TOTALLY stock 1st gen B16 on DRAG kit 12:1 FMU/VAFC No Hack.

Still going

 

what ecu are u running and is all ur tunning done with the vafc? is ur timing stock also?

 

Stock b16a2
10psi
t3/t04e
Hondata
Injectors
Full Exhaust

No Problem

 

i have a 00 si (head gasket, block guard, a/f and boost gauges, safc, 370cc injectors, 255 f/p, and drag 3 kit) i run 1 bar(14.7psi) daily and i have run up to 1.4 bar(20.58) on c16. with no problems. i have been running this set up for over 8 months now with no problems and my car has seen 8000 rpm and 1 bar from almost every stoplight. and i street race on gas almost every weekend. your car can handle 1 bar on pump gas daily. but more than that you need higher octane. but tuning is key!!!!!!!!!! if no stand alone is avaliable then greddy a/f and a safc is great. but then i have some pretty good tuners for friends! Never seen the dyno, but definitly shown a few people the taillights!!!!! [/B]

I have a 2000 si with the f-max kit on a completely stock engine. I'm using the mf2 that comes with the fmax kit. It has two 440 injectors but i'm only using one that is connected to a seperate map sensor and opens up under boost. When i first got it we hooked up the boost controller wrong and i accidently hit 15 lbs. luckily i had the extra 440s so i had plenty of fuel, but after we fixed it i've been running 6-7 psi for the past 11 months with no problems. stock injectors, walbro fuel pump, and extra 440cc injector.
I have hondata and will tune it as soon as i get my 3" exhaust, plan to run 8-9 lbs.

I ran mine on 12lbs everyday, and 18lbs at the track. While the block was only in for a little bit, it eventually spun a rod bearing. Apparently the rod bearing spun before the turbo even went on that engine. It still lasted 3 months before going bye-bye. I must also note this was on a 60-1 t3 which flows alot more air than the standard t3/t4 combo. 12lbs is like 15lbs on a smaller t3/t4.
