B16 STRENGTH?
 

i have a zc and am going to turbo it. I know alot about the zc and turbo but i was wondering about the b16a. How much horsepower will it create stock before it goes? How much boost will it take on stock bottom end if it gets proper fuel? Can you use must of the zc homemade trubo setup on the b16(except for manifold of course)? I needed to know this info because i was considering running my zc turbo for a while and if it was worth it swapping in a b16? the only way that i will swap in a b16 is if the bottom end can hold 350 or more hp stock. let me know what you guys have to say. thanks

I think 300hp is very achieveable with a stock B series. I know people have gone higher, but it really takes some good tuning.

As far as the D-series (ZC) turbokit working on the b16a, yes and no.. most of the lines and stuff like that will fit no problem. The turbo size is what I would be concerned most about, the high reving B-series needs a pretty decently sized turbo to work efficent. Also the downpipe will need to be modified.

B16 STRENGTH? : on what psi will a the motor give, running stock internals. t2? t3/4? untuned that is.

Re: B16 STRENGTH?
 

What??? Not only did that not make sense but why would you want to find out how much the bottom end can take untuned?

Re: B16 STRENGTH?
 

lol, in that case, probably 2psi

Why not add: non-intercooled, pressurized crank-case with clogged injectors?

My buddy ran 300whp for a long time with his (t3/t4, hondata) He ended up blowing it, but i think something weird happened like WG hose popped off.
