Instead of making a new thread i decided to edit this. its the same category. Im leaning toward a turbo system. My info

Stock b16a EG hatch. id like 200-230 whp

Question #1 What size turbo would be "safe" for a stock internal b16.

Question #2 Would it be better if i bought a turbo kit or piece one together.

 

i would say NA. Boost doesn't fall into the reliable category.

 

NA B16 making 200whp is gonna cost you a bunch of money.

 

Yea, boost is fun but NA is the way i would go for a DD. and depending on how much power you really want you might be spending a lot more on a NA motor.

 

really.....i was thinking NA would be the cheap route. if i wanted around 170-185 Bhp NA. what would roughly be the cost?

 

dude slap on some noss stickers on your car there lik5 hp per sticker so just slap on like 60 of those suckers and your straight!!!!



*you can get a reliable boosted motor just forge the internals and tune and your set bro =]*

 

dude get real!! i dont have the money for those nos stickers! i aint donald trump!! haha

 

lmao o well man but yeah bro whats your budget?

 

you could boost it and still be reliable its all in the tune and dont go over 10psi and you'd be ok.

 

umm not really a certain budget. main reason is because im not sure how much it would take to s b16 to 170-180 bhp. I would love boost if the price is right.

 

doesn't a b16 make like 160? doing alll the basics should bring you up to like 165-168. like exhaust, intake, ect.

you can also get some cams to up your power.

if you where to get a nice legit turbo set up it would be 1500 up plus tuning and what not maybe with a hondata.

my friend built his own turbo setup with parts he gathered and it worked legit he just lacked the tuning and it cost him lest than all that.

 

dang. thats a good price quote. the only thing is all i know are the basics of turbos.. i feel like i would be over my head. haha

 

its pretty simple to install bro we did it in his garage. you just have to have a little know how. im sure theres a gang load of write ups on this website for that but keep in mine that was just a rough quote bro. and let me tell you this once you go boost there aint going back bro its loads of fun and if you buld your motor right and dont abuse it it will last you.

 

man thanks for ur input

 

hey no problem man. thats what H-T is here for. Happy tunning bro =]

 

i would like to go boost but i can here the v8 heads now. "man if u did have that turbo on there, damn cheater. Cant beat me without that turbo"

 

You won't pull that out of a B16A N/A for a reasonable price. The displacement is simply too low.

If you're going the NA route, build the block, get it bored out to a 1.8 (or just buy an LS block, it's probably 95% interchangeable anyway), run an LS/VTEC build.

If not, go the supercharger route, it's typically pretty decently expensive but it'll give you the N/A style power (opposed to turbos where you typically have to wait for them to spool up for power) - you'll have the power with an SC throughout your entire torque band, but it'll generally be less.

I'd recommend that if ~230 in a DD is all you're looking for.

 

thanksss

build the top and bottom end before you boost. otherwise your taking a risk

 

^^Stock blocks are perfectly fine for his goals. My stock GSR made 315whp/216wtq for 2 years before i decided to build it...

You should go to the Forced Induction forum and read the FAQ. It will give you a lot of good insight and will aide in your decision. Personally, i would boost it. I have a boosted GSR (see sig) as my daily and it is perfectly reliable. Sure, people will say that they are less reliable than NA setups, but it depends on the quality of parts used and your attention to detail. If you slap something together for $1000, it isn't going to last...big surprise, but if you spend your money wisely and put thought and effort into your setup, it will be as reliable as it was NA.

 

Yea i have heard a couple time that a stock b16 bottom end can hold up to 300hp

 

bump

 

Have you looked into a super charger? for your goal i would rather have one.
You could also look at a greddy bolt on turbo kit, they pop up every now and again, and from I have been told and seen they are built to achieve these types of numbers.

 

wrong..boost is reliable if you put the money up for it and have an awsome tune...its all about the tune u can safely run 6-10psi on stock internals with a really good tune..stock crank is rated to 700 hp...its all on your budget..you want to have a reliable and fun car to drive but a cheap build dosent fall into fun and reliable
