b16a , how much psi safe

[speedfreak44]

thinking abt putting a lil boost on my stock b16, i was adviced from a well kno honda boost tuner that 5psi is good, 7 could be nice but 5 more safe, and limit the rpm to around 8000rpm...


as i said engine is completely stock... he also said to use a t28

Just for your intercooler to be usefull you have to see 6lbs

[speedfreak44]

which is safe right

[X2]

7-8 psi from most turbos with proper fuel and modest ignition timing would work.

I have tuned alot of turbo b16a that run on average 8psi as daily drivers

The stock rods can handle 12psi
Stock pistons same once the engine does not detonate and the fuel mixture is right

the limit on ur engine will be the rods and cylinder walls , the amount of boost the engine can take is decided by the tuning and octane gas used .


get a tuner who knows about tuning high compression turbo engines.

Don't mean to spam, is there anyone locally who can sleeve a block

One of the best links indeed a must read i believe for anyone wanting to turbo their car properly

All you guy's fooling you'll self. It don't matter on how much psi because you'll don't know the size of the turbo. The size on the turbo depends on the psi to make x number of power. The B16 can handle 300 whp all day long on Stock internals. So if you have a 45 trim turbo you cam pump 20 psi to make 300whp or if you have a 57 trim you can pump 14 psi to make the same 300 whp. so psi don't mean sheit. It all depends on the tune, the size of the turbo and fuel setup. Most important always check the compression on the motor first before boosting a stock internal motor. Also keep in mind if you going to boost more than 11 psi you will need to put a 3 bar map sensor so tunning will be at ease.

Remember tunning is the key and the size of the turbo, to make the power goal you need... You must always know what your power goal is before boosting.

This is just a comment not a argument so please don't take my comment the wrong way.

sweet stuff

speedfreak44,isnt your car auto?

[speedfreak44]

yep...

[JDM_GUY]

Just heard that its really hard to tune auto cars for boost, and the tyranny do not stand up.

[X2]

he also said to use a t28

As mentioned... any reasonable turbo at 8psi would be fine. You can barely feel most turbos at below 5psi. Even a GT35 at 8psi will be doable with a stock b16 block/head once you make the necessary tuning and other adjustments like fuel/injectors/plugs, etc...
