Hello, (excuse my poor english spoken)
i looking for upgrade my setup, i have a B16A1 (this one: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...t=dirty+french )
My project is to put a B20B short block with stock sleeves with wiseco 84mm 8.8:1, manley H beam rods, golden eagle block guard, golden eagle head gasket and vtec conversion, arp main and head studs, fully balanced rotating assy, resurfacing the head and the block deck.
the head: from B16A2 with stock cams, low overlap (cam gears), oversized ferrea valves +0.5mm, and +1mm for the valve seats (ported).
stock intake, stock TB..
i upgrade my evo 8 turbo (too much restrictive for B20 vtec) with TD06-20G.

my questions:
it is safe with 15 psi and good tuning?
what power I can hope with this boost?

thanks..

 

for safety wise it doesnt matter how much boost your running it matters how much power. 15psi for one person can be completly different for another. After 500+whp is when you would want to think about sleeving.

 

This link should help you with some useful calculations, it even has the compressor map for your specific turbo: http://www.lovehorsepower.com/joomla...id=4&Itemid=88

 

Been there done that, minus the build and VTEC head.

PM me for more info.

 

You'd be safe at 15psi because that shood be les then 500whp and after 500whp u need to start shoping for some sleeves

 

I wouldn't use the block guard.

 

have a nice day

 

There's a guy in Bahrain running 9's on a stock sleeve b20 for a while now. 9's.

 

Thanks all! ;-)
