Whats a safe whp goal on a stock b16a2?(changed clutch good air\fuel and no detonation)
thanks in advance!

 

220whp is safe and very noticeable over stock

 

i wouldnt really go above 260 on stock block but its been done. 220 is very conservative, but safe.

 

8lbs of boost tuned 240whp is sweet

 

240-260hp I'd say is safe... I've seen 300hp, but I wouldn't go that high with stock pistons and being a daily driver

 

so 240 would be very safe???

well im not stupid, i just dont have a lot of experience!

 

most of the time youll here the great question "how much boost can i run?" when boost isnt really the relevent factor. i ran my stock b16a2 on 9psi on a revhard kit for about a year with zero problems untuned with an fmu and 310cc injectors and it finally gave out when i got greedy and turned it to 10psi (back in the dumbass days).

but to answer your question....with all the fuel mamagement systems out there now there is no reason to even attempt running some shitty fmu. get yourself a good computer(hondata, aem, uberdata, etc.)... keep the air fuel mixture rich(~11.5:1) and the timing conservative(around 21-23deg of total timing) and you can push 250-275whp safely. on most off the shelf kits this will require about 9-10psi

 

im not going off the shelf kits, im going t3t4 and i know its about tuning and hp and not about psi.
first i wil go with a dyno and a afc with dsm and a lot of retard @ the dizzy then i will go with uberdata or something like that.
