hi, first of all i'm a newbie

i was just wondering, what kind of turbo are you using? how many PSi? how is your car holding up?

sorry for all the questions, thanks for looking and answering

 

Ask in the FI section. I have a d16y8, gt28r 10psi, holding up great with 15k miles boosted

 

wow thats some good news^^

 

you would get better results in the FI forum..

 

B16, T3/T04E. 7.5 PSI ~5000 miles.

 

You could have as much psi as your tuner allows.

 

you have stock internal? wow 10PSI is quite a lot, i was thinking about 4-5PSi on stock internal with 141K on the clock

 

why? 5 wont do anything. it can easily handle 8 psi

 

the stock internals can handle around 200whp, that is like 10psi with good tuning.

tuning is the key to success and reliability and speed

 

2000 Civic EX
D16Y8
Edelbrock turbo running 7psi
put turbo on with 70k miles on the car
have 103k miles on the car, zero problems

I keep it highly maintained.

It'll be up to 10 psi as soon as a new clutch goes in and I put a new ignitor in the dizzy.

Stock SOHC motors can do about 210-220 whp no problem.

 

just out of curiosity

how much horsepower does a d16y8 motor with stock internals put out with 8psi???

 

tuned right, around 160 whp

 

Greddy kit, Y8, 8-9 psi, 2 years, 24k miles...still running strong

LOL, how do you just put a number to it like that?

Depends on the turbo and many other factors

Your answer should be more around 180-200whp if you've got a good turbo setup.

 

edelbrock turbo says 176 whp and 147 trq on 6-7 psi with a t28 turbo

So why would you say 160whp @ 8 psi?

Plus, Edelbrock is just one turbo kit manufacturer. Most guys running Greddy kits, for example, at 8 psi are making ~180-190whp tuned properly at 8-9 psi.

 

B72 247MM BORE T4@6,000PSI with 21,000WHP.

 

Ahh, I'm ******* with you. Welcome to the forums and try not to ask stupid questions. Search first, then ask, or have a flame suit ready.


B16.
Some head work.
11PSI MAX on stock block internals.
Hopefully 300+ WHP. Hondata TUNED!

 

wow, honda has some strong internal to handle boost and last for a long time. thanks for all the info guys, keep em coming......

*flame suit is always on*

Those be the number my car put out. Once I get the ignitor fixed in my dizzy, it'll be going up to 10 psi.

 

i have the greddy sohc kit on my mini me and i run 14psi everyday with stock inturnals, as long as you have a good tune almost anything is possible.
