Default Reliability

how reliable would a turbo fed B16A be in a track session? What parts would be necessary to keep it reliable?

trackday as in road race? just make sure your cooling system and intercooler is up to par, i know when i used to run a turbo on my civic it would start to heat soak the intercooler, just from very hard driving, and everything would go down hill from there (detonation would start up at high rpm) so i never tracked it cuz i was scared it would kill my car. i would probably get an oil cooler and maybe upgrade the radiator and run a cooler thermostat.

Just make sure to upgrade both fuel management/delivery and cooling system. A bottle of frozen nitrogen wouldn't hurt either after every run.
