Is it safe for me to boost my b18c1 with itr piston and high compression flat valves? Thanks in advance for any comment/help.

 

Its hard to tell from that vague description. It may or may not be safe, depending on which turbo you are using and how high you turn up the pressure.

 

^^^ x2

There are many more factors that need to be addressed to lead you towards the answer you are looking for.

What turbo setup?
Condition on B18c1?
Which flat valves?
Standard bore or oversize?
How much Psi u plan on running?
daily driver?


Give as much info as you can and we will spit the business back at yah....

 

Thanks for the reply guys.

Turbo setup-t3 t4 turbo with custom piping and not sure on waste gate yet.
condition on my engine is very good, i only have 5000miles on the engine it was just rebuilt with new engine bearings gaskets and pistons(jdm itr) including piston rings.
supertech head package with the flat valve
standard bore
psi anywhere from 8psi-14psi
and it will be a daily driven car.

Thanks again for your effort in helping me.

 

Get it tune also.

 

I would Defendant get it professionally tuned by someone who knows your engine and set up. If your running it as a daily driver i would go over 12psi.

 

With all that has been said; I should be safe for a turbo setup then right?

Thanks again for any reply.

 

It's mostly going to be in the tune. With the higher compresson pistons with the addition of boost makes it a little trickier. Assuming you have a chipped ECU, right? If not I would defiently recomend getting some type of EMS like Hondata, or getting it chipped with NepTune, Crome or of the sort. And have a professional with a dyno, or at a minumum some one who has experience tune it. With the ITR pistons you are going to have more of a risk of detonation than stock or lower compression pistons. Would also highly recomend getting a wideband O2 sensor if you don't already have one so you can monitor your air/fuel ratios so you don't run it too lean and cause damage to the engine. Also, what size injetors are you using? Thats going to determine how much boost your going to be able to run, espically with the ITR's in there.

 

Fixed.
