k guys im a noob when it comes to turbos.. well anyways i got a stock jdm b16a and im wanting to get turbo to get a bit more power.. i was wondering whats a good and reliable set up... how much psi should i go around 6? last night at the track i ran a 14.8 on a stock motor. im wanting to get to low 13s atleast. what brand should i get. trying to be under 4k.
help me if you can.. thanks.

 

you cant reall go wrong with the peak boost kit, of the full race kit

 

send me a link to some turbos if you can.. i know greddy and all that etc.

 

?

 

type in full race or precision turbos in yahoo. I don't know prices but they make quality turbos

As far as boost levels and such, I am not an expert but I have always been told a well put together stock engine should be able to handle 6 psi or so. If you want to go any higher than that you have to build specifically for the turbo. As far as throwing a turbo at 6 psi on there and going from 14.8 to low 13's, it may be possible but I wouldn't expect it (someone correct me if im wrong).

Be ready for more upgrades, once you hit 13s you are going to want 12s, it is a vicious cycle

 

start with good parts. this will save you money in the long run. however saying this.... I have used nothing but SS autochrome turbos and they work awesome for me. you could save money there..... (Oh I am so going to get flamed.... ) Anyway, how much boost you run is irrelevant.... Its how much power your going to make that is important. You could make 300whp or maybe a little more if you wanted to. Probably around 8-9psi maybe 10... I was running 10.5 on my B18B fine, making somewhere around 300 or so. anyway, shop around.

 

I would honestly worry about running 10.5 psi on a b16a. From what I have seen and from what I have been told, the b18a and b are stronger than the b16a when it comes to the ability to handle boost. If you do decide that 10-12 psi is your target on a stock b16a I would advise you have a great EMS and some great tuning
