will a b16 hold 7lbs of boost and a fifty shot? just wondering just now starting to learn bout the b16 and i was wondering if it would hold the turbonetics turbo kit and a fift shot

 

i would say to stay all motor unless you have lots of $$$ and time

unless you are doin' the 1/4 at the track....

 

i am a straight line junkie. so do you think that it would hold the seven pounds and the shot on the stock internals without alot of maintaince or what?

 

It may not even hold five psi if it isn't tuned correctly. It is more of how much power the engine will make reliably than a "psi" number. The tuning is the critical component of the equation. If the tuning is crap the engine will not make good power and will probably lead to internal problems...cracked sleeve, broken piston ringlands, etc.

 

s0o0o0 just slap a 75 shot on it all motor and be done with it???

 

i would probably stay 5psi on stock b16, for reliability. if you tune it right you can get more psi but it will wear quicker. and adding some spray on top might kill ya : P

 

I am not trying to discourage you from turboing it just trying to tell you that you need a plan before diving in head first. First, figure out what your goals are. How much power do you want to make? What will the car be used for?? etc. Then go from there.

 

nah your not discouraging me im just tryin to get input before i do something really really stupid if it were your car tell me what you would prolly do.

 

Well if it were my car and money was insignificant I would build the engine...sleeved, forged pistons and rods, arp studs, etc.

The I would build a kit to boost enough to make around 300-400 hp and have the car tuned. You can make 300+hp on a stock block but building the block and having a good tune are insurance against premature failure.

 

well since i am noob this will be my last post so im gonna make it count thanks for all the help but i dont have alot of money i bought the crx for $100 and i am only going to have any where between 3800 to 5800 dollars to spend on it with that little amount of money what would you do i was just considering b16 with a few things here and there and more thoughts led to more dreams (lol) but what would you do to this crx with that amount? thanks again

 

$3000 for a fully built and sleeved block and $800 for a HMT (homemadeturbo) setup, hehehe. Or you could just upgrade the pistons and rods, because the stock sleeves can actually hold a lot of power, just the stock pistons are weak.
