Does this mean that the T3/T4 can only run a max. of 8psi of boost regardless? Or does that mean 8psi safely on a completely stock block? Sorry for the redundant question...Go Me

That just means that the computer and fuel setup they provide you with, is only setup to run 8psi. The turbo itself, is capable of much more.

So would the T3/T4 series turbo be alright to use on a B20 with a B18 or B16 head?

I'm sure it would. The turbo they provide with those kits is fairly large.

I would however, upgrade the fuel, and computer management system.

I plan on getting the Dart block and build up a B20 from there. They have a B18 head you can buy, but I heard the B16 head is the best for CRVTEC's...I don't know though. I've trying to do my homework on those motors but it's a dead end for me. If somone could correct me if I'm wrong....Out of the 3 people I know with CRVTEC motors....they each use the 1.7L crank...is this possible?

It's possible, but why the hell would you want to do that? It's like voluntarily getting kicked in the junk, you can do it but you only end up worse off in the end. Run a B20 crank in it.

Say no to Dart blocks. They're not NHRA legal, and if you plan on racing it at all, I would look into sleeving a stock block.

The blocks already come sleeved...and I do believe they are legal, at least in the IDRC circut. The Dart blocks are supposed to be better than stock so where is the down-fall to these blocks? These blocks are used in racing more often than you think. I'm not trying to be a know-it-all. Just providing my info while recieving yours.
