precision fmic 600hp
inline pro mani
turbosmart wg
turbosmart boost controller
walbro 255 fuel pump
550cc injectors
hondata s100 with boost

Old setup can be found on this link...

Looking for suggestions...I realize with stock sleeves and stock head 400whp is going to be my max hp, which is fine...Im also looking to make the most hp possible with my current setup...I thought Inline Pro did a good job tunning my car (conservative), but they also recommended possibly in the future a SC61 compared to my garrett t3/t40e...they said i could gain 20-40 whp...which if i sold my turbo and then bought a new SC61 would only be $300...just trying to see what you guys think, i believe both turbos spool up at about the same time, etc...My car currently is very fun to drive, so Im debating with my self a bit, should I get the SC61 or stick with my current turbo?...thanks for any help

Sorry for the delay...I had to resize the pic...thanks again for any input/help...

Nice powerband...

You don't need to waste $300 for a new turbo. Bump it up to 1.4 bar

 

thanks for the repilies....keep them coming...i was really happy with the tune....1.4 bar might be too much for my motor to handle...

 

I like your torque curve. Nice and flat. Good numbers.

You could probably get 20-40 hp just from some upgraded cams.

 

thanks...keep the suggestions coming...

 

what are you injectors at (duty cycle?)

i say turn it up.

im running 25 psi on stock sleeves with the same turbo (.48 turbine) on a sohc

 

You should be able to make a little more power out of the setup with more boost.
Another intake manifold (if your running a stock gsr) along with ctr cams would help a lot.

If your goals are 400whp I would look into larger injectors.

 

Thanks for the help...Ive thought about type r cams, intake manifold, tb for a while....right now i just have the stock b16a setup...Everybody seems to be saying that my turbo is fine...just turn up the boost...I just dont want to blow my motor again...One time is good enough for me...just curious with the same set up how much more hp do you guys think my car would make with the SC61...thanks again for the suggestions

 

Get bigger injectors, ITR/CTR cams, and turn the boost up.

 

Stock sleeves are not your problem. I would upgrade injectors and turn up the boost. I'be seen plenty of 400whp stock sleeve setups.

 

Stock sleeves arent really holding you back now. If anything I would be worried about the valve train parts giving up on you.

I've always been paranoid about valves bending or dropping. Also your injectors wont be good for alot more power, so an injector upgrade would be good too.

Dont change the turbo yet. There's other things you can do to your motor to make it stronger and then you can just turn up the boost and make the power you want to make.

 

Alright thanks for the help...i was thinking of upgrading my valvetrain...Ive always been in contact with inline pro...the owner always told me the b16a valvetrain is efficient (and strong enough) up to about 500hp...looks like ill stick with my turbo and maybe work on some other things...
thanks again

 

stand alone management

what is your duty cycle of your injectors and what kind of fuel pump?

 

Walboro 255 fuel pump...Hondata (which im extremely satisfied with)....and Im sorry to say but I dont know what my duty cycle is...I forgot to ask the tuner...
this info is already in the above Set up Info, all except for the duty cycle information... thanks again

 

i dunno doesnt torque seem weak for ls vtec makin 319whp?1

 

I think the torque seems about right...for b16a head, gsr block Ls crank...the numbers seem about right...anybody else with similar set up can chime in with their .02....

We had the injectors almost maxed out on a few pulls, that was the only weak point. The turbo is kind of small too, I am going back in a month or 2 with 750's and the same turbo with the ball bearing center section and my tuner said I would easily make 400whp.

 

Thanks for all the replies...everybody has been most helpful...any other comments are welcome as well...

 

hmm. i would've thought you'd be making a little bit more power. but everything looks very nice. what size IC pipes are you running and what size downpipe?

 

Inline pro downpipe...2.5inches- 3inch exhaust...no cats....charge pipes are the drag upgraded pipes....2.5inches except the uppipe...which goes from like 2inches to 2.5inches

 

bump...

 

You seemed concerned with how much boost you are running. More boost won't break anything.... too much HP will. If you feel safe up to 400whp then just crank the boost and get closer. ITR cams and a intake manifold would also help you get there.... Best of luck
