well my boy has been working on a "project" for the past 2 years....

He has a 9:1 built B16 block with golden eagle 84mm sleeves, STOCK CRANK, ect ect.....he was planning for it to be a Nitrous car and pump serious nitrous through it...

well 2 years went by and the motor was still sitting in the shell, never cranked, still brand new so i decided to buy it and actually do something with the car...i want to know if the B16 is even worth keeping for a nice turbo kit....i want to hit 600whp and not sure how well a b16 is for that with such a short stroke.....the head is a fully built B16 head going on that built block listed above...

should i try to get rid of the 1.6 and shoot for a 1.8 or will the 1.6 do just fine to make 600whp?

 

swapit is making nasty power with a b16. i made 540 with one and went 10.72. it can be made the 84mm will help. get some decent cams, a turbo that can move some air, and let her eat.

 

10-4 my buddys car made 700whp with a b16 so have at it. lol

 

wow thats awsome....ya its fully built bottem end, sleeved, bored to 84mm, JE 9:1 pistons, Pauter Rods...I was just worried bout making the power on a short stroke as compared to a GSR or a LS stroke

 

that just allows you to rev higher haha

 

Depends how much money you have to spend on it.

 

lol there isnt no money to spend...lol...its already fully built...never started, never ran
I have this motor already, just didnt know if i should put it in the marketplace

 

you should and Ill give you 200$ plus shipping and paypal

 

If it's 84mm bore it's a 1707cc so it's not a 1.6 anymore.

 

that is true...still small though

 

i also i had a stock bore sleeved b16 with stock/head bolts i think it was 8:8:1. with a t3/t4e 57-63 on 14lbs. so i mean it wasnt a beast but it was ok this was also 3 years ago too lol

good luck though

 

thats what she said.... Had to say it, hi brian

 

haaaaa...

 

why do u want that much HP thats not that fun bro ,plus a b16 is a dope *** motor but thats kinda of a lot for it to handle u wont be able to catch grip

 

I made 517/310 on an 81mm B16 with a smallish turbo, they have potential, just rev it out and have fun

 

Thanks for your input, but there is no such thing as too much power.

 

b16s have massive potential, go with it man

 

what he said...lol......this is going to be my track/at night street car

i have a 08 SI sedan for my Daily

 

the b16's dont have the rod gurdle do they

 

nope...only GSR/Type R do i believe

 

With a sleeved 84mm block your passed the 1.6l stage like stated.....the shorter stroke is just going to let you rev to 9k-10k like butter ....I personally like a higher reving car..."VTACK" sounds great up top....

 

werd....as long as the block will hold up top wit a decent amount of boost then ima go for it

 

i say do it bro, they lack torque but rev like no other, i am building one too hoping for 450-500whp, lets see what happens!

 

u building a stock bore?.....ya im shootin for 600whp.......lol.......i want 10s

 

also what would be a good turbo size for a setup like this to get me into the 10s, 500-600whp mark?.....gt3076r?

trying to boost mabe 30lbs to achieve these goals
