It has been a long road for me to reach this state.

I bought all my turbo parts used, except for my intercooler which i got at a steal!

The compression Should be arround 8.5:1...
At 14psi, What hp level should i be over?

I know no bench guessing, but should i be over 250hp?

Sorry no pics at the moment, but will try to get some up soon

a dyno will tell you that, wait and find out

Re: Self Built / Self Tuned B16a
 

Probably around 300whp

Re: Self Built / Self Tuned B16a
 

Why such a low compression ratio?

Re: Self Built / Self Tuned B16a
 

Go to a dyno. I think it should be a standard thing that after you finish your set up you should have to get it dynoed! Or else everyone will be like "I think its at like 300whp" then if they loose a race they will say "prob only at 275whp"

/rant.

Re: Self Built / Self Tuned B16a
 

Without knowing which manifold you're running its hard to pin it down to an exact number, but i'll take a stab. I'd say at 14psi on a 60 trim, you're probably in the 315-330whp range. I'd give you higher, but that 2.5" exhaust on a low comp B16 is throwing me off...i'd like to see how close that is. I guess the power also depends on your tuning ability...sounds like fun either way

Re: Self Built / Self Tuned B16a
 

Its one of those cast manifolds....
Wastegate in the center...

The timing is on the low side, 1* per psi.
Also is very rich, low 11's afr...
I like to play it safe!

I still need to find a way to install my IAT sensor in my charge pipe, i got one of those b16a types....

Re: Self Built / Self Tuned B16a
 

Safe is one thing.. but remember, too rich is also bad. You can wash the cylinder walls of oil. I would say high 11's are more along the lines of a "Safe" A/F ratio if you are concerned. You should be fine a low 12's.

Re: Self Built / Self Tuned B16a
 

depends on the fuel^

On 93 octane at 13 psi, im around 11.5-11.8.

on my fuel blend, at 18 psi, it makes most power at 12.5 afr and 26* timing.

This is on a stock usdm b16a just with head studs.
