I have a 2001 Integra GSR that I just bought a Turbotronics T3 turbo kit for. Now some people that I have talked too said that I am just going to blow the bottom out of my stock engine. I was only going to run 7psi, but one of my friends said that I was being a poocie and that I should run 10psi. Does anyone have a T3 on their B18C1 that can tell me how much boost to run on a stock motor? Thanks for any information.

Here is what I have that might be important:
-Engine has 86,000 miles on it
-Hondata S200 w/ boost option
-RC 440cc injectors
-Warlbro fuel pump

 

Don't listen to your friends. Keep it safe. Take it to a tuner that knows what he's doing and let him decide. On a stock block I would keep boost relatively low to be safe.

 

I am new to the whole turbo thing because I was a big N/A guy before this. I think that it is only going to run 7psi because that is what the spring is in the wastegate. If I am wrong, let me know.

 

T3.. but what are the specs on turbo? 10psi with small t3 is not the same as large t4/t3.. so 10psi may be ok depending how much hp you'll be making..

but in my opinion, keep it where it is, less hp = longer engine life.

 

Turbo has a exhaust turbine A/R of .48 and a compressor trim of 60 The Turbonetics Compressor housing has a 3" inlet and 2" outlet.

 

i'm just guessing, someone with same setup (or if you just dyno your stuff) could tell better numbers.. but i would guess somewhere from 220-240whp at 10psi depending on wastegate/exhaust setup. and i wouldn't do more than low 200's on stock motor, especially high milage motor.. the lower the better

 

damn, i am going to have to rebulid my motor it seems... I dont know, 10 psi might be good enough for a daily driver.
