b16 can take 300hp on a stock bottom end... if you want more than that your looking at serious work to the d series to make that power

my buddy might be selling his turbo setup off his 93 si, runs 5psi right now but if tuned properly can be turned up. Im pretty sure what he wants for it is within ur budget aswell.

again ill say it B16 has a stronger crank and stronger connecting rods, it is more turbo friendly than the zc if you plan to rebuild rebuilds will run you money, extra money missed that has to be spend on misc. things. 5 -6 psi max on stock zc. You can go up to 10psi with stock b16. just a thought. look to up your budget for any turbo. fuel management is the most important thing when turbocharging a car. I say 2,500 spend the extra money on a hondata system or equvilent

I have to disagree with ya on this one. Iam running 8-9psi on a stock D16Z6, no problems. Now 2 friends of mine HAD turbo B16, both blew at under 8psi. The size of the turbo plays a bigger part than the psi.

WayFastWhitie

absolutly not.

Have you ever looked at the bore and stroke differences between the b16 and the d16?


Stock D series can take 220hp with good tuning before the rod goes though the piston. B series... probably 300ish with good tuning..

just connecting rods from the LS... but they gotta be machined to fit. for that much effort, I'd just buy a set of Eagle rods cuz they're cheap and good for 300 hp still.

a b18b/a motor iw best b motor for boost! higer boost stock.. and dirt cheap rto replace w'hen you blow one up... and if you get board slap on a vtec head and you are FLYING!

TheModFather

that is bull**** the size of your turbo play very little role on how your motor will survive... TUNING SAVES ENGINES, makes power, while afc hacks and check valves blow engines.....

TheModFather

also you can't turbo a motor thats in rough shape to begin with... and if you beleive that the "JDM" motor onyl has 40k on it then you really are an idiot....

cee_mon

I think you misunderstood what i meant. 8psi from a T25 is alot less air flowing into the engine than say a 8psi of a T3/T4 .63 AR. Tuning is the key to everything, ill agree with you on that one.

well, for the record, the AFC does a fine job of feeding the motor. Don't knock the hack!

most JDM motors in fact DO have under 60,000 kms. I mean, the country is a small little island, where the **** are they gonna drive 250,000 kms??? Granted, the 60,000 kms are hardcore city kms though, not highway like we got going on here.

the size of your turbo surely matters. percisely in the way cee_mon explained. CFM and PSI together make power. I mean, I can prolly produce 6-7 psi, so if I put my mouth over the intake tube and blow into it, does that mean my car will make 180hp?

cee_mon

ModFather do you understand what i mean now? Also +1 for AFC hack doing a decent job for the money.
