ive been seeing vids of tegs running 17-20psi. HOW can they do this. they must be BUILT motors right. anyone have a teg running that much or know of one personally, and would like to share something about it?

 

those are 100% built engines from the bottom end up. high performance rods, valves, pistons...EVERYTHING. iv seen a b18a dyno at 800hp if u really want that much o_0

 

im running 18psi on my sohc, it only has rods and pistons...

 

Assuming the tune is good, pistons and rods will suffice.

 

Paulll, how much did that run you?!!!! 18psi, what are your #s?

 

honestly 20psi isnt anything amazing if u take ur time and do stuff right...im about a quarter of the way of having my block ready to go and i plan on running roughly 30-40 lbs on track days....its a matter of reinforcing the block i.e sleeves, low comp pistons, rods, good idea to have the rotating assembly balanced...and then obviously whatever u want to do to the valve train..but the basics for the block arent that difficult...its all a matter of how serious are u about making good numbers

 

280 out of a d16

 

why??????

 

Cheap and the motor is easily replaceable if it blows up. Nice to be an underdog putting out much more than a b-series swap when you spent about the same.

 

cool. i guess my biggest fea ris giving my love to someone to tune and fucking it up or not tuning a great tune. is there anyway to see/make sure its a good tune? the shop around the block here is always tuing B16s and B18s. BUT Quality>Quanity!!!!!!!!

BTW 40lbs of boost..........WHAT THE BALLS ARE 4 REAL
