I have a stock B18B 96 Integra with a dc sports CAI , DC Sports Header, and full exhaust system. I am woundering if i bolt on a full trubo kit, intercooler and all, if my engine could handle it? Any advice is appreciated!

 

Its best to do a leakdown and compression test on your engine to make sure its in working order.. After that, with a poor untuned turbo setup any engine can fail so make sure you do it all correctly..

 

can you elaborate on a well tuned turbo set-up, i really dont want my enigine to fail. thanks.

You need good-working fuel management system to control the amount of fuel being used. Also, whenever you add components to increase fuel, you need to even it out with good "air-supply" sources. For example: IM, throttle body, etc. Finally, to make sure you get the most out of your parts, tuning is crucial. IMO the most important part of your setup is your tuning, and how good the tuner is. If he/she sucks, then your car will run like ****. On a stock motor, make sure you run conservatively.

 

Any ideas on fuel tuning...like chips ect...i dont want to go like spoon price, but i want something thats not going to **** out on me. How can i descide what cc fule injector to get?

It all depends on what kind of power your looking for. To be honest, searching on this topic will do you wonders. I wont be a dick about it, like a lot of people on here. Tell me what kind of hp you wanna make and then the question about what kind of fuel management and Ecu tuning can be answered.

 

My goal is to reach around 300 HP. Thanks for stayin chill.

 

even if you have a good fuel map and ignition etc... you will still need to build the bottom end unless you are going to keep boost less than about 8 psi but i would still build

 

I was curious about this as well? How much do you think a good tune would cost on a simple turbo setup? If using the stock fmu that comes with Greddy, can you get your car tuned just using the piggy back system or does one have to get another type of management system? thanks.

not totally true, though close. the b series rule of thumb is 300whp, because at that point, the cylinder pressures are great enough upon combustion that you start breaking stuff.

my ls has over 200k miles, has overheated 2x on me for non boost related issues, ran air/fuel in the 13's for weeks at a time, all of which on 10psi and im still rocking out

with a good tune, there are many many 300hp stock ls turbo motors out there. go check the forced induction forum, there is a thread going on now with the ls turbo guys, its got everyones setups and dyno and track #'s. in the thread, top notch tuner st00pid says that he has tuned numerous 275-300whp b18b's and they are lasting more than fine.

Why do you say 8 psi.. psi is just a number that gets you to a hp level, many many other things can change the hp level at any psi..

Best way would be to shoot for like 250whp or so and run what ever psi it takes you to get there given that you turbo is matched for that hp level..
