i got a 1992 gsr with a b17a init with full exhaust camgears headers and what not, basically the motor is stock except for camgears but i was wandering if i boosted it what is the reccomeded psi to run the willl be safe but nice and quick?

 

if you're wondering on a stock block, most everyone is gonna tell you 7-8 psi.

It'll depend on the condition of your block, mileage, beat? etc. Some dude, put on a nice homemade kit at 5psi *ls-t* he hit 193hp (that's what he posted on a forum)

 

To be honest with you man, I wouldn't boost a b17. That motor is too rare for me to boost. I would keep it NA and take care of that thing.

good point.

ive also heard about them spinning bearings kinda frequently..

if you do turbo- go like 6-8 psi and tune the **** out of it. that should get you over the 200 whp mark and possible 13 second time slips. thats pretty solid imo

Yea, that is a really rare motor, I agree w/ staying the safe route. Then again, if you don't have a connection to the motor sell it and get ur LS counterpart (b18a or b) and turbo it w/ a bigger better kit. Just a thought...

 

ya keep it NA.. rare motor to kill.. i got the same car.. its quick.. im gonna have it rebuilt in the spring..

i got a question for you tho.. how many miles do u get on a full tank of gas???

do u have aol or msn? if you do, message me.. id like to talk to you.. im from nashville.

For your "full tank of gas" question, I put about 320 miles on a tank, and get 31 mpg.

 

wow is that highway miles??...i get about 250-280 mostly city on my 161k b17

 

28-32 all around, city/ highway. And my B17A only has 53K.

 

i get about 300 miles per tank on all city driving. 134k.....i'm thinking about boosting it in the future but i may just do a LS/Vtec Boosted and save my B17 for a rainy day.
