as it reads above i have had my 99 civic si for about 8 months now. it has a 1997 b18c1 obd2-obd1 converted chipped ecu and bolt ons(CAI, ITR catback exhaust, skunk2 IM, headers) and some minor fuel work(aem fuel rail, aem fuel regulator and a 255lb in tank holley fuel pump) i am looking to get about 250whp and have decied i want to go with forced induction ive been looking at the t3/04 in a drag gen 3 kit but am not sure how reliable the kit would be. what internals do i need ofr this build? Fuel management systems? anyone please help thanks!

 

u can run 10psi on a stock block with good tunning.
i say get hondata with some 440 or 550 injectors and tune it.
no need for internal work if your only looking for 250whp and a clutch would be nice too. i personally like the act hd

 

i have the stock hydro b16 trans wit lsd and the act 6 puck
any turbo kit you recommend how reliable is stock internals going to be?
thanks for your help

for a stock b16 your goal of 250 wont require too much work at all.. you can achieve that w/ the drag bolt on kit running 8-10psi.. i would upgrade the injectors definatly and get something to control the fuel.. hondata would be a nice option but you can also go w/ a vafc hack as well

its not a b16...

anyway, im doin my own kit. much cheaper and better results imo. i will be testing the limits of my stock b18c1. it should be fun! good luck

He has a GSR motor, they are expensive, **** the AFC hack. Go with a chipped ECU or stand alone... or don't do it at all.

 

Definately pick up some 440 or 550 injectors and go with hondata and dont go with the vafc hack if you want reliability and peace of mind.

 

you dont need much....you can do that on stock injectors

for real!

you could do it with an internally wastegated T3, a little log style manifold...tyrus intercooler...fuel pump, and uberdata...maybe even a little FPR...

those numbers are not hard to obtain...look at beerbongkickass's signature, he is doing 230 with a sohc motor...

 

10psi on all stock internals? i am trying to maintain this car as a seasonal everyday driver. if i wanted to put a low comp piston and rod set-up would that change my reliability? is the stock gsr valvetrain good for 10psi? thanks for the help guys

it will be as reliable as your tuning. . .10psi will be good but don't do it every chance you get

you don't need internals for it, honda built a great motor from the factory...the guys are giving you good info man, there us no need to over build a motor...250 is not pushing the limits, a good tune will keep it solid for a good amount of time...just maintain it

 

is a turbonetics t3/o4 60 trim the way to go? any other good turbos out there for the power i am looking for? thanks for all the help guys! help me with some suggestions on piecing together a turbo kit.

 

Best piece of advice:

"For peace of mind...overbuild the **** out of it."

If you want reliable 250, build it for 400.

FAST, RELIABLE, CHEAP....you can only choose two.
