I got a 14b turbo on 97 civic. How much boostcan this turbo put out before it starts pushing hot air?

That should be enough. The motor is not stock anymore. It has JE/SRP pistons(lower compression), eagle H-beam rods, All new rod and main bearings,

At 18-19psi on a dsm its way past the efficiency range.. 200-220 whp is probably where its efficient..

18-19 psi on a DSM represents a certain cfm. Given typical intake restriction through a Honduh head, the 14b's max cfm capability would be maxed out way before 18-19 psi.

Please don't compare apples to the chinese national debt. Thanks.

I think that is possible. I just got back from the dyno, the turbo looked like it gave up at 5000 rpm, you can hear popping noises coming from the exhauust.. I thinking about going with a 16G.
