so boosting a b16 with 6 psi with a good tune for an every driver = bad idea?

the dude that i'm prob going to be working with on the civic has one of his own, a D16 custom turbo kit using a WRX turbo, so he knows what hes doing...he doesn't have it boosted much and my estimate is prob 180-200hp with his car, it is a daily driver and who says 200hp in a civic is a hand-full, look at the other cars on the street with 200+, the Mustang GT's got 300, as long as ur not mashing the gas every time ur driving the car it should be fine, i'm really just trying to get the best engine to be boosted...GSR or B16, it's a given that i'm willing to put in money for it, i might be new here, but i'm not new to the game. i just want to know ur opinions on which engine is the best for boosting

ur retarded dude. And you don't think 300whp in a gt is a handful?..have you driven a gt stock at that?..They are a handful, and the fact that its RWD, it goes side ways on you real easy.

As yes, the buddy that knows everything. Classic.

At that much power you can expect to go through a few set of axles, a few sets of tires, a few transmissions, a lot of racing gas, and may be in need of an engine rebuild by the end of just one hard racing season, assuming you can even get the car running and drive it.

You are new to this game.

Again i'll say...all i'm looking for is for someone to tell me what is the best bang for the buck engine to boost! I'm not looking for people to say i'm a retard...and yes i've driven a gt, and it's not a handful if you don't mash the gas every two seconds.

go with a d16z6 drop 2800-3000 into it and run 250-300whp put the other 2000 into suspension and you will be more than happy

Dude, a 300hp RWD car is a completely different monster from any high powered fwd.   If you were really a "veteran in this game" you'd know about a little thing called torque steer.  Not to mention, good luck hooking up off the line on street tires...

neither the GSR nor the b16 are considered "top of the line" for boost apps.  As I mentioned on the first page, build an LS/VTEC

What is the redline for the LS/VTEC and don't cars have to swap the same year engine or higher to be legal?

heh, are you going to try and make a 500hp civic pass emissions?!

and why are you so concerned with redline?
