***2000 Civic Si Em1 B20v Wanting To Go Boost***
Hey what's up, I have B20b block With A Gsr Head And gsr Trans. It Made 178whp And 168tq. I want to boost but I'm scared my bottom end won't last. My car does have ac and power steering. And yes if I boost I still want to keep it. I found a kit on eBay with good name brand parts. What do you guys recommend as on psi. I wanna make at least 360whp

1. Ebay is a no-go ... 99.98% of the parts sold there are complete ****
2. AC & PS is going to make this more difficult - prepare to spend more money on an AC/PS compatible manifold & downpipe. AC is the bigger hurdle here....
3. Without knowing your turbo choice, the PSI question is irrelevant - the stock MAP sensor can't read past 0.8bar of positive pressure, so if you're running more than 11.2psi, you'll need an aftermarket MAP sensor.
