can anyone brief me about what size is the best from TIAL?

and if i use a boost controller could i make more or less boost than the spring is set to?
is this the same for a hondata?

 

to start off, the size wastegate is dependent on your set-up...

also i dont believe you can set the boost lower than the spring

Hondata is a good engine management

 

well. i dont have money for a hondata setup now, so i`ll start with a boost controller and wideband and good gauges....

in a 300-350 hp setup, is a 38mm to smal?

well you will have the stuff to monitor, but what are you going to tune with???

 

 

No you cant set it lower. The lowest is the wastegate spring size. How much are you planning on boosting ?

 

well i have almost all the basic parts, but when i get enough money should i buy a sleeved shortblock. so when im waiting on that could i just drive getto style on my old motor. its real lame just to watch the turbo parts in a box at home and not under my hood so it will only be boosting 5psi on the stock engine..

i was wondering if the 38mm would e to small later

 

How much psi do you think you are giong to run to hit your goal?

 

How much psi do you imagine your gonna run? Honestly, if you plan on running 15psi or even a little more just pistons and rods with a block guard should be fine. Get a good EMS and you should be straight .

 

well, it would be about one bar, 15psi. but i want a setup that i can trust and drive every day. and what i have been told is block guard doing moore damage then good.

but would a 38mm tial be enough for 15psi?

 

Oh yeah no doubt. That wastegate is strong enough to hold 15psi and more ( cant remember how much ) as long as you dont cheap out a good fuel management system and build the motor with rods, pistons, block guard, a sleeved block is not be necessary.

 

well, i think its better to invest in a sleeved block instead of going for a block guard
and hondata!!

but im not sure if i should just boost my current b16 when im waiting for a new block

 

Ok your choice. Why dont you ask other H-T members. A sleeved block, or built motor is just a waist of money if you dont invest in the proper fuel mangement. Especially if you plan on running 15psi or more. Noob mistake if you think a sleeved block is gonna save from blowing the motor. Ask anyone.........Your mistake man not mine.

 

Drkaccrd is right. Most important thiing is good engine management and tune.

Forget the sleeve block thing, seriously. On a good tune, you can go up to around 450-500whp safely on stock sleeves. I'm pushing almost 350whp daily driven on stock sleeves forged rods/pistons.

U must bite the bullet and get good engine management. I know most people wanna skimp out on this part cause usually they save it for last, then don;t realize how ******* expensive it actually is. I know its hard with a box a parts staring at you but time and patience pay off.

Hondata, AEM EMS and I guess crome and uberdata are good. Motec if you got the $$

 

yes! the built motor will be controlled by hondata.
my oem block dont get nothing so i dont care if im blowing that.... **** happends
