Yes, it's possible to slap a turbo on a stock B18.

if you talk to some people here on h-t some people have 185,xxx plus on their car and still runs reliably. talk to schister, he ran 10psi on his stock gsr for a long while. its all in the tune. do a leak down test first, then consider your options.

Dont base your goals in terms of PSI as it's an irrelevant measurement. If you want it to be reliable, build a good setup with quality parts. The most important aspect is the tune. If you're willing to do things the correct way, you can make ~300whp without issue on the stock block. There have been 400+whp stock LS's on the site before. I had a 315whp stock block GSR for 2 years and it ran strong the whole time. I'm now rebuilding it to support my "needs." Check the sig...

https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch &lt; Best for answering questions.

who said that was my goal?

I said thats how much I am going to push the turbo. no where in my comment did I state it was my goal.

Im just saying what I am going to do.

so what your doing to fit your "needs" is great, but dont make claims that are untrue.

Oh...my....god... A TURBO INTEGRA??? GENIOUS!!!!!

Anyway, yeah forced induction forum (forced induction=turbo/supercharged....and YES you can supercharge a Honda). I'd boost it at 8psi at have a rev limiter set at 8,200 RPM for best results on stock LS.

DA_9- you shouldnt talk cause you obviously dont know anything about turbos.

Saying you should boost at a certain psi is completely irrelivant. 8 psi on one turbo wont produce the same power on a different turbo. So saying boost 8lbs is pointless to say.
And why raise the rev limiter on a stock motor. By doing so your just asking for trouble. Keep the rev limiter set to what it is now UNLESS you have the supporting mods to warrent a raise of the rev limiter.
