i bought a turbo kit and my wastegate is set at 8psi would that be to much on the stock internals on my jdm b16a

 

It will be fine as long as you have good fuel managment and tuning. What are you using for fuel managment?

 

i just got the t3/t4 turbo intercooler wastegate and bov i still need some odds and ends. i was told all i would need would be a fuel pressure reg and a new fuel pump since mine saw over 215,000 miles, got any suggestions

 

What kit did you get?

 

I would definately get a fuel pump, and either a VAFC or SAFC. If you have the tuning resources some injectors wouldn't hurt as well.

 

i didnt buy a full kit i got it off my friend who got a supercharger instead. im still in the works on geting the rest of the suff i dont really want to put it in till after the winter any way so i got time to get all the good stuff to do it right.

 

me and my friend are in the process of turboing a stock jdm b16 and the stock boost is set at 7 pounds. For fuel management we have a walbro 255 in tank fuel pump, and 440 injectors. For tuning we purchased a VAFC..theres also other things you might wanna get such as a recalibritaion kit, or maybe even a different head gasket to lower the compression.After it is tune and the injectors are in we are turning the boost up to about 10-12 pounds

 

allmotor89 is referring to my car...and no 8 pounds is not to much with the right tuning and the proper fuel to support it...do a lot of research that is my advice to you good luck bro

 

i have about the same thing you are doing and i would pay the money for hondata it is worth the money in gold. i really like it and then take your car to a shop and dyno it with a bigger pump and 440's or bigger you should be fine at 8psi that is what i have been running for a while.
