Turboing B16a2

[daniel b16a]

hey guys....im in WA and thinking of boosting the b16a2....how much would a basic turbo kit cost and whats the max psi and power i can get from a stock motor...not intending to touch internals at all...just bolt and and use it...but tryin to get max power....also what is safe running day to day psi ? thanks

3800 for a basic kit with a good turbo.
someone is selling one in the for sale section. look for b series turbo kit by super R

thats with ecu and all? hmm i tot it was arnd 2.5k or so? can the engine take it? how much boost cna i run?

Yes - Honda engines are strong. You can run 6-8psi safely with the correct tune. If you are looking for a good used kit and it doesn't include the ECU, run a PowerFC or Hondata (S200 or 300).

I will be running around 12psi or so on mine with forged internals and plenty of head work. 200whp is readily acheivable on a stock B16A2 with low boost levels.

na is best Daniel

yup... best at costing tons of money to make any hp and for making absolutely no torque.

turbos are for those that actually want to make power and don't have the funding of a small government to do so
