so my buddy just called me up all excited cause hes gonna buy a B16 built for boost, low comp pistons...the whole nine yards, but its no longer boosted and he wants to run it in his EG coupe NOT ON BOOST, good idea or bad? any input for this dude would be nice...thanks

Wont make as much power with low comp.

thats what i was thinking, and the b16 is gutless as it is..

AndThenYouSay

BOOST IT! or leave it. unless its dirt cheap, then somethins blown, so buy it and rebuilt it. its really not worth it to rebuild with N/A internals, but whatever he wants to do.

yea he said 500 hundred bones, cause the owners going to jail and he needs bail money lol...

Any idea how many miles on the rebuild?
Sounds like it might be worth buying. If it's got decent parts in it and if it is in good condition then turning around to sell to buy a good swap. If it's really a full build, you might be able to get enough cash together to get a GSR swap or something along those lines!

0_o going to jail?
Most people need bail money when the are already in jail!
"Hey - I'm planning on doing something messed up and getting caught for it. I guess I'll need some bail money too. Wanna' buy my motor?"

Ass$nyper

A motor setup for F/I forced to be sucking it's own air will not be happy.

There are many factors to this but yes compression is one of the first that comes to mind.

buy and re-sell it.

NOS that biznatch up. It already has low compression so im thinking it would take some good amount with tuning. Low compression is good for NOS right?

haha yea idk...i guess we'll see if he actually gets it and what not, but 500 dont sound bad tho, ive seen just b16 heads for that much..
