How much boost are you planning on running? Factory internals?

Yea everything on the motor is stock. Its just a good old b16a I got a few years back. Im planning on running about 8lbs of boost and its going to be my daily driver. I could run more but I really want reliability. Im almost done with my exhaust. Its hard to find time to work on the car between my job and band and stuff but it should be done soon.

I thought I'll do a small update today. Here is my ghetto boost gauge setup. I used a compound gauge that I got from Omega engineering. I got one of there cheaper ones. Its 3% accurate for the first and last 10% of movement and 2% accurate for the rest. So with a 15psi guage that is about a +-a third a psi. I used a quick connect fitting to go to 1/4 in tube from the 1/4 NPT on the back of the gauge. Pisco makes the fittings and there pretty cheap. I also just installed the cluster from a 89 civic si.

NICE BUILD!
How much was the gauge?

The guage was about 25 bucks or so. You can also spec them out to be pretty much any pressure range that you want.

Why not just run a sunpro?

sleepercivic88

because its a higher quality guage in every aspect.
