i talk to alot of people who are going turbo or have turbo but they all say its pointless to built ur block.. tell ur thoughts

 

depends on how much boost you're going to run..

 

I member I saw a d16z6 w/ about 16.5 psi.... sure it was stock block.

if you wanna run high boost, build block. if your gonna run stock psi (like around 7), i wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

less than 10 psi.i i was thinking about going<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by icelarry27 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">if you wanna run high boost, build block. if your gonna run stock psi (like around 7), i wouldn't worry about it too much.</TD></TR></TABLE> can some one do the math with this.. sohc vtec 125 hp with 5psi of boost and 10psi.. how much should hp should i have? i just want to see like 200hp.

 

10 psi shoulld get you close to 200, that's about the limit on a stock block if your not tuned. I personally wouldn't run that much on a stock block un-tuned, just my opinion

 

whats are some good kit for a sohc vtec?

 

greddy and apexi makes a kit...also JG edelbrock is coming out with a kit too...
i run the greddy and made 200 whp at 10 psi untuned...i have afc hack up and running kinda and will repost the results soon...read the sig for more details

 

but how to find out how much hp a kit will give you!

 

If you are going to boost your car I would suggest reading Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. It is one of the most complete turbo books and goes over pretty much everthing you need in a turbocharged system.

 

Dont make things complicated by building a motor unless you have too. Stock motors are perfectly fine for 250-300whp w/ a nice set up and proper tune. Boost is great though it makes making power easy.

 

a lot people tod me to read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. i will poly go to B&N to get the book in 2 weeks<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by IRepD &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Dont make things complicated by building a motor unless you have too.

You should be able to see 200hp on a stock-block D-series engine at 10psi boost with tuning. That's the key to making reliable power on a stock block! Don't just expect to bolt it on and tear up the streets day in and day out.

Perhaps you shouldn't worry so much about your hp numbers... from what I've seen that D is going to have some very nice tq figures.

 

define tuning...

 

tuning - finding the most power while running the motor safely...this would have to be on the dyno with a wideband and tweaking with certain upgrades u might have...ie: fpr, afc,boost controler, injectors, ecu, spark plug gap, timing....theres lots more..

or in simple southerner's term: maxmize the engine potential without blowing **** up.

 

Best thing to do is a block guard, a thicker head gasket and SRP's pistons and your safe up to 16 psi of boost.
