ok, first of, im pretty new to this stuff. second i searched but couldnt find anything, maybe because im retarded and i didnt put the right keywords in or something. i just need some things cleared up

ok so if you have a built b16 like new rods, pistons, ect.. and you turbo it if the turbo is running more then 10 lbs of boost is your engine going to need parts replaced every 15,000 miles because of wear?

like if i get a full race stage 3 turbo how much/ what parts would i need to replace for it to run well without putting alot of wear on the engine?

i know that engines wear under normal driving conditions but how much more wear is created by the turbo?

 

it depends on what you consider built, if it has aftermarket rods and pistons the motor should be good for a very long time unless your putting insame amounts of power through it, ive seen stock turbocharged d series lasting easily over 100,000 miles, its all in the tuning

i've never seen a boosted honda driven over 100K miles boosted the whole time...

are you sure you're not talking about a boosted d series that happens to have over 100k?

more than likely..

 

i had over 30000 miles on my z6 boosted in one year with no problems at all, no compression drop or anything, and ive seen people on here with many many miles on their cars boosted, but i guess 100,000 miles is a bit of an overstatement, lol, how about 50,000 stock block conservative tune and low boost

 

over 40K on a 100% stock motor boosted.

Boost doesn't wear engines, bad tuning does though.

Define "insane amounts of power" for me.

ha ha to me anything over like 550-600 whp isnt going to last as long as a 300whp motor imo, and i know 550-600 isnt insane, but its also not daily driveable on that amount of power either, unless you got a tanker of race gas in your back yard

 

i know in the Race across america that some company entered a turbo'd b16 rex and is well over 60,000 miles with it.... and its stock internals at 10lbs of boost...

i retract my previous statement here is the truth

"UPDATE: May 9th 2005 - We Have Returned ---------------------------------------------------
We are back and the race was a success. We were able to run our CRX Turbo w/ 100K miles & bone stock internals on 3000+ miles of US highway and 9 of the east coasts best race tracks without engine failure."

 

what about running a b16 on 15-20lbs of boost?

what would i need to make it run relaibly for over 10k?

 

You really dont need to hit 15-20 psi of boost every day. I say 16-17 psi on pump gas is more than enough for daily use. But I know people have done it all day long. Get some foged pistons and rods. And a good tune.

 

ive gpt abouit 80k boosted miles on my setup

 

anyone who has a turbo... what do you run your boost at??

 

How much horsepower do you want to make? Stock internal B16 is good up to 300 whp with a good tune. I am only taking mine to about 260 with a good tune, then rods and pistons. boost doesn't wear the engine it the horsepower and like someone said above, bad tuning

 

i had the same question, thanks for the answers guys. im thinking about boosting my d series but am a total newb.

 

ok, thanks alot guys. i really appreciate the help!
