how much boost are you running and what is your set up? how much hp to the wheels do you estimate you have? any 1/4 times?

 

[MatT3T4]

ex-B16A turbo owner. all upgrades except management, and headwork (minus the cams). lots, lots, LOTS of power. great motor to turbocharge. probably around 400hp on tap with high boost

 

[dragturbocivic]

B16a drag genIII turbo kit with skunk 2 cam gears, apex vafc, apex boost controller, revspeed meter, apex turbo timer, AEM fuel rail, AEM fuel regulator, Vortech external fuel pump, MSD ignition with timing retard control, apex N1 exhaust, estimated at 275 to the wheels and haven't made quarter mile times yet. Still trying to figure it out using the rev speed meter.

In the May 2001 issue of SCC there was a 93 Civic with a B16a swap and other mods. Anyways, the car apparently had 400 HP at the Wheels. I have the issue if you want more information.

V-afc is soon to come.
Rite now i'm runing 7-9psi depending on how my car feels (it basically decides)I'm shooting for 250whp and or 13's.
Last season i ran the car (when i really shouldn't have) in limp mode to the tune of 14.9 .On 3psi of boost and poor tuning + bad o2 sensor

I'm only pushing about 6psi for now, until I am tuned.

so on stock internals, you shouldnt boost more than 7 lbs? some peeps say 9 but what do you all think?

 

[CleanSi]

9-10psi w/ good tuning, and gas

 

[gold]

so you cant just run 9 lbs if its not tuned? like say you just slap on the kit and it is working good, and you run 9 lbs, your motor will detonate?

 

[MatT3T4]

You need to upgrade the fuel and ignition systems, and then introduce some kind of tuning tool. With that done, after you tune it, you can boost high. I have personally boosted over 15psi on my stock block, and suffered NO consequences. Of course, you can't dogg it on the freeway for 10 miles on 15psi...

2 questions

to projectcivic what did the 400 horse b16 have for internals,cams, all the good stuff, and will a type -r head fit a b16a block.

Hey man, here's the specs of that 400 HP b16a in SCC

----------
B16a Rebuilt (Reinforced block)
Arias 9.0:1 pistons
Crower rods
P&P b16a heads
Type R Valve Springs
Stainless valves
Type R Cams
Intake charge augmented with T04E/T3 Turbo
XS Engineering Intercooler
Speed Pro Bank 2 ECU
720cc RC Injectors

 

[CRXType-R]

As long as you have more fuel than required, across the whole curve and IC, your safe up to 10-11 psi with stock internals on B16. Keep in mind ppl AVOID DETONATION AT ALL COST!!!

b16a2 motor, Je 9:0:1 overbored.50 pistons, endyn eagle rods, vortech fmu, b&m fuel regulator, 440cc injectors, apexi vafc, airtek inline fuel pump, drag3 turbo kit, msd 6a w/ Btm, msd coil and cap

Ran strong until i blew it the other day. The cause of detonation. SHould get it back sometime next week. Should run strong again. Havent made any quarter mile passes yet. Hope to do so soon.

Wanna get a standalone and tuned before i run it at the track so i can run as much boost as my motor can handle.

if you aint got fuel upgrades, and you run 9lbs especially on a older motor..i dont think that it will last long..just run 6 or 7 til you rebuild
