I have a b16a, I want it stronger that a k20, So the legal way to go is turbo, But which turbo setup makes more power a greddy or Edelbrock turbo kit? Plus how much horsepower does each of these kits boost?

 

What state are you in? I was going to turbo my ride, but then I found out that California's emissions laws are hella tight. The only turbo kit legal in all 50 states is the Edelbrock one, and it pushes about 6-7 psi, and comes with the ECU piggyback it needs. Their site says it got a GSR engine from about 120 ft/lb tq to a 150 ft/lb. Its hard to say though the B16 isnt known for having much torque to begin with.

 

I live in california too, yeah i know that the b16 doesnt have that much horse or torque as the b18 but i just wanted to keep it simple, and the only street legal turbo i can find was the greddy and edelbrock turbos. Other than the torque from the edelbrock how much horsepower did it produce?

 

With the greddy kit your are going have to get tuned since it's piggyback only come pre-tuned not actual tuned that it runs pig rich that would make it fail emissions. Additionally, (i'm not that familiar with b series kits though) the kit doesn't come an intercooler or with a bov, which are essential in a reliable turboset up. Therefore, by adding those two parts to the kit, it's no longer carb approved[&:].

(greddy does offer CARB intercooler kits, but the only one that is currently carb approve is for the 92-95 civics and only with 92-95 greddy kit,
here's the link where i got my info, you can check which aftermarket parts are legal in CA)
