i just bolted on my turbo on my stock b16.
how much psi will i be able to be on the safe side?
my water temp tends to overheat big time.
Could it be due to my intercooler blocking the radiator?

i can tell you to search....
what kind of management?
what kind of turbo?
you can blow up your engine with 2 psi and you can run 10+psi safe depending on setup/tune

dnbruut

maybe you already blew your headgasket

y8-turbo

i have seen 20+ psi on a stock b16, so if your overheating, yes check your head gasket, cus at this point tunning owned you, or your engine... good luck

did you put coolant back in the radiator?

i run 9 pounds on mine with type-r cams and it runs good

PSI means nothing. General rule of thumb is around 300whp give or take depending on tuning for most b-series motors. I'd run 300whp daily on a stock B16 without worrying. The over heating is a problem though, so you should check that out and no it's not from the intercooler blocking the radiator.

i have a boosted b16 in my ek. i run ten pounds tuned with chrome, a vafc, and a plx m300 wideband. i am using a single core half size radiator with a big pusher fan on the front side. no overheating here.

your not overheating because your intercooler is blocking the radiator. you have other problems.

what engine management are you using.

platinum.

Headgasket.....

if you fill the radiator up and drive the car around without boost(like anyone can actually do that anymore) does it take much longer for the car to overheat?
