turboed b16

[wal]

im thinking into turboing ma b16a enigine how much can they handle on stock internals(boost)??

[ShEaNy]

id say around 9psi max...depending HOW long u want it to last...Id say Thermal would know better then i would :yes: :yes:

[IALuder]

i wouldnt push 6.

[JDMFantasy2k]

eh, a b16 should handle a good ammount on stock internals. It's just, if you're going to run 10 (about the limit of the stock MAP sensor), you probably aren't giong to want to bring it to redline at every stoplight.

[thermal]

ShEaNy is about right. 8-9 psi on stock internals will be fine. Although if it was me, I would push it to 12 psi dyno tuned with stand alone or Hondata running with bigger injectors and 255 LPH fuel pump.

7-8 PSI THANXS, HOW MUCH BHP IS THAT ABOUT ?? roughly?also can you turbo a d15b7?? anyone heard of it before?? or know anyone who has done it? any info would be great

sheany is about right...8-9 psi. Although I would push 12 psi on that thing dyno tuned with bigger injectors and stand alone. That's just just me tho.

yes you can.

I turboed a D15B VTEC last year with a TD04-13T from an auto Eclipse. I did the same set-up as my AFC hack. That focker was fast and only at 8 psi. He raced another EG with a JDM ITR swap and beat it. I almost scared to race him. Too bad his car got stolen a week after I finished his set-up..... :o

i have a d15b7 engine would it be ok to turbo since it's non vtec, and would i be better going for a turbo b16a scince its only 400-600 pounds extra??

[IALuder]

nothing wrong with boosting a stock D15. theres 2 people around here with boost D15 beating boosted B16s.

[JDMFantasy2k]

you can boost anything if you really want. even lawnmowers;)

That all depends on your long term plan. I personally cant stand double spending, especially with force induction cuz better products come out constantly. If you plan to have just a streetable daily driven turbo civic, then by all means boost that D15. If you plan to go a little more than just having fun with a boosted D15, then build a B-series and turbo it. i used to have both boosted D and B series. Both fun. But the difference is major. I scare myself driving my old boosted ITR motor.

how much bhp could i see from a little work on a boosted d15b7??
is 200-250 over ambisious??

That really depends on the turbo setup, but I wouldnt say thats too far out of the picture at all..

Bore to 1.7-1.8. Sleeves. hybrid turbo. Hondata or AEMS EMS. 3 inch exhaust, decent manifold.... easily into 250 area

[esthirteen]

as thermal said. what are you going to be using this car for anyways??? track or street?

[wal]

street use primaraly i just want something boosted that really quick off the mark
