2000 Civic Si with stock b16a

Basic bolt ons, I/H/E

now the question is, as the engine sits currently at 125,000KM, is it too late to boost?

im thinking about just stick with the stock internals and run low(6psi for DD)

I just want a little bit more power.

Suggestions please

 

do a compresion test and if everythings ok throw a cometick head gasket and arp head studs and bosted it up

 

what kind of numbers am i looking at for the compression test


and roughly how much will this setup cost me


again i want to run low 6psi since its going to be daily driven and also winter driven

tyty

 

i think its 160-170psi per cylinder,get performence head gasket,arp head studs ,2.5 inch catback,turbo and a good tune then u ready to go

 

you can use a stock headgasket if you want as well. arps are a good choice and like already said, if the compression checks out, boost it also i would go with a 3 inch turbo back exhaust if possible

IT really depends on the shop that's doing the compression test and the equipment they have...some will read 140-150...and others 190-200

comes with the 18g turbo

greddy= waste of money IMO

its a very complete kit for a beginer, but not my cup of tea.

 

It depends on what you want. If you want a good street turbo kit, than get the greddy kit with the 18g.
