turbo newbie questions...
ok
i have a jdm b16a2 in my sol
and it runs damn strong stock
all i have is a cold air intake (aem itr 3") and i am pulling 152 to the wheels
i am kinda toying with the idea of a turbo on my car
and have some familiarity with turbos
but not on hondas
with my increased compression ratio
how much boost can i put thru to the motor while still keeping things at safe levels
and what is the ideal turbo size for a mildly boosted b16a2
i was thinking t3/t4 would be about right?
and another thing, is there a company that makes turbo manifolds in mass production so i can play around with this idea?
iw ant to keep my stock internals for now
so any ideas should be based upon my slightly higher compression ratio, as it is a japanese engine
thanks guys

I think the safest is 8lbs but since your compression is higher it could be less. I've been reading that you should lower your compression with a turbo. Hope that helps.
