alright lets say i go with a t3/t04e turbo on a b18b with low comp pistons rods an rings.. whats the higest psi i could safely run at and do you think that setup can get over 350hp?

 

alright today i decided instead of the b18b im gonna stick with my d16 an turbo it.. save me a lot of money the way i see it.. so heres my new question:

the engine has 148k miles on it.. could it handle over 10psi if i got low comp pistons with rods and rings? and would you recomend getting cams before boosting? thx

 

If your basically rebuilding the bottom end you don't even really have to worry about the 148k miles. You dont necissarilly need new cams but cam gears are a must.

 

alright so pistons rod rings cg's.. anything else?

 

couple things i wanted to point out from skimming through this thread.

Wideband o2 = definatly get one if you'll be tuning or playing with your car
EGT = get one if you plan to be pushing limits, very important, it will tell you if your motor is being stressed to much via temp.

anyone that is looking to run 15psi on stock b18b bottom end, yes, it is possible.. your going to HAVE to tune it though or it won't last long at all. Must be intercooled at 15 lbs.

i also saw someone asking what size wastegate spring to purchase, buy the smallest one avaliable, boost controler can always allow more pressure, but you can't go less.

 

alright what exactly is a wideband..

 

im runing 10 psi on my d16 and it runs fine. not to mention im going on a basemap, and it still pulls real nice

 

on stock internals?

 

10PSI on a stock block?
