I am currently boosting 5 psi on a Turbonetics 60-1 on a stock B16. The most im going to push is 7 pounds on crome. Im thinking maybe 9 psi would be enough after a cometic head gasket and head studs. Friends said I could run 9 for now on a tune, but I don't trust 'em. Let me know any good info. if you have it.
Thanks, RJ

P.S. Just got to another school I go to and now my car won't idle.. Before I tune, will a mising link fix that? I also need FMU help.. thanks.

 

the oem head gasket and head bolts are the least of your worries. they are not a weak component of the b series motors. no need to replace them.

what is the car currently tuned on?

we typically push a stock b16 to 300-325whp reliably. get the car tuned proffesionally on the dyno by a reliable tuner in your area.

you dont need a missing link or fmu, i hope you already have larger injectors and a fuel pump?

 

I think he is on one of those bolt on turbo kits that include a Missing Link and FMU.

 

IF your setup was tuned on a good EMS, you could run 9-11 psi on that 60-1 without issue. At the same time, i think that turbo on a stock B16 is a terrible choice, but we wont get into that...

 

True. I aleady know that haha. I just threw it up there because my friend wanted to trade me for my JRSC. I said sure. I put a missing link on yesterday to hold up for the tune I'm getting today. Hitting up Dyno Inc. to get tuned on crome. Oh, and yes I have 450cc injectors and a Walbro255 fuel pump. I hope it holds for a little while because there's not much I can afford. I have to help pops pay house bills because he's literally going broke. But, thanks for the help for now. Hope for the best!

 

its not about boost its about hp. Just get it tuned to 300whp and you will be fine
