what would be less of a hassle to boost? b16a2 or b18b (ls)? The ls has a 9.4 compression ratio, how much boost can i run stock?

 

6-8 psi

 

actually you cant run any boost on it stock. you have to add a turbo[8D]

 

Please stop saying that cause it aint true.

It depends on what turbo you run and your fuel management as to how much boost you can run.Try to put a T51 56 Trim on a honda engine at 8psi and it would blow every seal in it.

 

6-7 psi

Dont go 8 though, youll blow every seal












OK, A penguin is driving down the the street and his car starts making a funny noise and bucking back and forth a little bit. He pulls into a shop and has the shop check it out for him. After a while of the mechanic tinkering around under the hood he goes to the penguin and says I think you blew a seal. The penguin looks quite chocked, wipes his mouth and yells at the mechanic, I dont even like seals, how dare you!

 

yeah, that is pretty much meant to refer to the typical cylinder pressures developed at normal boost and CFM levels. and for newbies, they will probably all be running 14bs, 15gs, 16gs, 18gs, and maybe some t3 t4 variants. so the 6-8 psi levels are pretty accurate.

 

OH yeah, I will be running 6 psi on my bone stock 170k mile 94 civic si with absolutly zero engine managment and also zero fuel upgrades. And I dont like seals either so I will be blowing zero of those

 

haha. nice

 

Lets say I get a aem fuel rail, chipped ecu, dsm eclipse injectors, t3/t4 turbo, front mount intercooler, could i run 6 psi safely on a b18 ls? What about a b16a2

 

dont bother with a T3/T4 if youre only gonna run 6 psi. if you want a quick, cheap setup, get the B18b with a T25 off of a second gen eclipse. it will spool faster than a T3 hybrid, but shouldnt run out of breath. and eclipse injectors might be overkill. look for some prelude injectors.
