Hey guys, just researching on boosting my b16. I was wondering how much boost a stock b16 should be able to handle. It's completley stock, just new rings , nothing is going to be built . It's going to be just an ebay kit for now with of course a different turbo mani, so the turbo wont be huge or anything... I was thinking about 10 lbs of boost? But just want to see what some people are running daily on boosted b16 stock motor


thanks!

 

Boost pressure is irrelevant. Stay around 300whp and you'll be fine.

 

just do a compression test see if the motor is in good shape and get a good tune 10 psi should be good my friend did 21 psi on a stock b16

 

HOLY F!!! 21 PSI ON A STOCK B16 THATS INSANE!!! LOL

thanks for the tip: Schister66 , i always thought if i ran 2 high of boost thats where it'd blow, 300whp sounds like more than enough iwas only lookin for 250 with my setup LOL, itts a poor mans boost built looking for reliability so im not looking to go toooooo fast

 

and you can check this thread out should get a idea on what to do https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1365747 and if you go ebay just save up little more money and do it right the first time. You can find good kits in marketplace cheap now it winter everyone is getting ready for next year

 

true , never thought of lookin in the h-t marketplace ... and yeah i was looking at this thread last night,, thanks man

 

Many people unload their stuff in the fall/winter for end of the season & x-mas. Spring/summer are worse times, so if you have money now is a perfect time to be looking for used parts.
