What are the limits of the stock B18c1? What turbo should I run if I am trying to attain that power level? Sorry for the noob questions I am new to the honda scene.

Thanks

The "limit" is mostly going to be up to the turbo..... but I guess you're only limited by the engine in a sense that it only has 4 cylinders.

With a good tune I would say 350 whp. I've seen several of my buddies make 330-340 whp on their stock blocks, but anything above that is probably pushing it.

In general? that's impossible to calculate... depends on the bore, stroke, compression....

psi doesn't dictate anything.

you can run 10psi in a t3/t4 .57 trim and make more power than running 10psi in a t3.

you have to base your goals on horsepower. and from what I've read and heard, horsepower on a completely stock gsr can be reached at 330whp which would be the limit.

Sure, I was referring to how engines all have there limit, "in a sense" being the key word. It was in a satirical fashion..... a bit OT, but I did not think anyone was going to analyze it.

I'm guessing you took it the wrong way and thought I was trying to support the idea that us Honda guys are limited by the # of our cylinders as apposed to the "other" guys who have limitless engines with their upped cylinder count..?

I used to think the limit was 300-325; lately I've had a few people I know make 350whp(low boost)-380whp(high boost) on 93 pump (its been running fine for 1yr already)---Another person i know made 467whp on E85 and has been running for about 5 months now. It all depends on how reliable you really want your car to be

I didn't take any offense but Im sure some may read your statement and begin an argument. But you're correct, there is a limit to a 4 cylinder's power, whether it's an NA or FI build. I was just wondering what your thoughts were as to the upper limit for a 4 banger FI build? I remember reading an article about a 4,000 hp integra, however, it was like a 4.? L custom 4 cylinder on nitro methane and mad boost

E85 doesn't count.

post up in the force induction forum. tell them you want atleast 300whp and they'll guide you the right way.

That's what i'd do. In your first post, just tell everyone what you're using (i.e. stock block GSR) and what your budget is for the project. Then list your goals and use for the setup. If you want around 300whp, let them know. Its not that uncommon of a power goal for a stock block so you'll have no trouble finding the answers your need.
