I have a b16a in my 93 sol with a turbonetics 50 trim turbo, fmic , 3in exhaust, rc 550cc injectors, stock block. My question is what can i do to increase my horsepower? what can i add? or change to make more power? Anything will be appreciated. Thanks!

get a 57trim and large injectors and re tune

or keep what you have, increase boost pressure with a retune, make sure the block can handle more power, and that you have the right equipment.

Simple answer. no need to change turbos.

i'm running 8 psi now, Would a new tune be a noticeable difference?

A new tune plus increased boost pressure is the way you do this. Boost control and tuning. You're in monroe MI, time to take it down to Pure Tuning to get it redone, and get advice about increasing boost pressure within safe limits.

Habe you had the car on a dyno, if so what kind of nunbers did you put down and what are you using to tune?

I have almost the exact same setup in my del sol
B16a. Turbonetics 50trim. Bwr 3" vband down pipe with 3" dumped under car. Rc440 injectors and arp headstuds running 8psi and i put down 315whp@212tq. Well those numbers were from when i had a crushed downpipe that was mayne 2.5" and my exhaust was all effd up.

how? lol. I dyno'd at 240hp/170tq on a hondata s100 with a conservative tune.

I guess I'm not seeing what the issue is here. You want more power, you need more boost pressure and ensure that the rest of the car can allow for it. Until some changes of information are brought up, I bid you all a good afternoon.

I am on s300 with a conservative tune as i have read not to go past 325-340ish on stock internals so we tuned it for just shy of that.

My car was tuned by King Motorsports out of new berlin, wi

I will also snap a pic of my dyno print out if you would like and post that as well.
I wish my laptop was working id sent you some data logging shots but its in shop right now.


What kind of turbo manifold are you running? Do you have arp headstuds or anything.
What are the specs on your turbo?

Here is a video of mine from 0-120ish mph. Shitty pull but you can get a decsnt veiw

Build the bottom end, bigger injectors and at least a 57trim

I'm going to guess that you bought it already boosted and have no idea what you have nor how it works. Hence the reason why such a simple question seems to be beyond you right now. Get it retuned. It's that simple.

Its on 8psi...get a GM 3bar map sensor and retune. If you want the most from your stock block, look into tuning on e85. I wouldnt start tearing this setup apart in lieu of new parts before you actually use this setup to its fullest.
