okay, okay, no flaming, guys! i don't need a bunch of CRAP to sift through to find the answers to my questions.

well, speedracer, i actually have plans to run a t04e turbo. i read in an article from sport compact car that it would combine well with my engine to make 300-400hp. i have the article somewhere (can't find it right now), and it says that this would be a good turbo for maximum street performance (sorta a medium between all-out, big lag race only setup and fast-spool, lower boost autocross setup). i don't know the intake and exhaust trim sizes off hand, but these are the guidelines i'm going to use.

so, i guess judging from your comment, i will prob have to run between 18-22 psi to get my desired hp??? also, i guess it would be helpful to mention that i will be running a full 3" exhaust system from the exhaust outlet of the turbo back.

 

You really dont need to run that much boost. Its all in the tuning. Guy i know just got his hondata 2b tuned on his stock b18b and is making 274 whp @ 12 psi that @ like 5400 rpms. The more boost the more likely your going to hurt the engine.

 

well, i don't think i'm gonna get a hondata system just yet. i'm going to just try to get the motor to run what it can off the "stock" ecu and basic setup. i plan to get something like the hondata later on down the road. hell, i might even eventually try out this water injection thing before it's all said and done. lol

 

i'd gladly give up my d16y8 for a nonvtec LS or B20 motor...as long as i had turbo still so :fawk:

too bad you're just stuck with sohc vtec bwahahah j/k :thumbup:

 

since my exterior is gonna be done really soon, all i need left to get are oem fogs, and c/f spoiler, im gonna work more on my suspension and engine,aahhhhemmm b16 boosted

 

woot for OEM fogs...i think im gonna get me a set too when i pull off my front bumper to do the FMIC. I guess i'm mostly done with suspension except maybe some AGX and a rear sway bar...and why would you work more on your engine and then say you are gonna boost a b16. I'm going to skip the whole waste of time 1.6L route after my pos d16 dies and go straight b20.

 

the b16 is more reliable...and thats what i need.

 

why don't you guys use the "private message" function here. you are getting waaaaayyyyy off topic.

thanx

 

how is it more reliable...it has higher compression, and you're trying to squeeze more HP out of lower displacement.

 

max boost is gonna be10 maybe 12 lbs at the track..other than that it will be at 6lbs...and im gonna lower the compression a little bit also
