I am puttin a D16Z6 in my CRX, I am building it from the inside out and I was wondering what kinda boost can I push on 91 Octane? I know that in a naturally aspirated setup the highest compression ratio that you can push is about 12.4:1 without detonation. Here's what I have setup so far..

Wiseco 8.5:1 CR Pistons
Crower 4340 Connecting Rods
Crower Stage II Camshaft (Forced Induction)
Manley Standard Size Steel Valves
Stage I Port & Polish Head Work
2.25mm Stackable Steel Head Gasket
ARP Head Studs
STR Block Saver

About how much boost can I push with that setup on 91 Octane?

Also, how much boost can be pushed by a TD05H Small 16G Turbocharger?
Is that too small for the boost I can run? Which turbocharger is recommended?

Any opinions on my setup I welcome.. am I doin something right? Doin something wrong? Let me know, I'm very open to suggestions. Thanks ahead of time...

The parts you have look to be a good start except the block saver, I'm not a big fan of those. What is the car going to be used for? How much HP are you looking to make? You need to figure this out before you decide on a turbo and how many psi you will be running.

 

if u have all that money in the car
dont be cheap and buy 93 octane (unless u cant get that where u live, then move)

anyways, i would guess no more than 7 psi without tunning will be happy before it detonates

i have seen cars detonating with only 5 psi with cheap gas

but like davep said...... set ur goals.. then well see if it can be done

 

it's all about tuning and timing. there is no certian cut in stone boost table you should abide by.
