prepping b16a for turbo, some help maybe
 

ok so iv finaly decided to boost my b16a, the b16a is currently in NA mode.. lol and the miles on it is about 35,000. the mods i currently have on it is:
JE 12:1 comp pistion
Type R cams
Type R valves
Crower Titan valve springs and retainers
port and polish
blue print and balanced
UR crank pully
Ngk blue spark plug wires
custom cold air intake
stright pipe
Type R B pipe
Center force clutch
Spoon fly wheel
T1R axle back
OBD1 ECU

*keep in mind im new to all this turbo. gimme ur knowledge!!! lol anyways....
now wut im planning to change is the pistons to CP 9:1 / 9:7?, injectors, and fuel pump if thats even neccesary.. and then run hondata or uber. wut im curious is:
1)would i need to sleeve the block? im wanting to produce about 300whp+.
2)would i need to replace anything else on the engine?
3) am i able to run turbo with just the replacement of the Pistons? cuz i really needa lower my compressions.
4)is it necessary to upgrade injectors / fuel pump? or can i just use my stock ones for now.
and money isnt an issue cuz im planning on dumping as much as it takes.

and yeah i do read the forums and searched b16a under FI, soo plz dont tell me to search, i found that this dude wanted to boost his b16a and people said he didnt need to sleeve his block cuz all he wanted was 250-350whp. they said the stock sleeves should be ok.

- im wanting to hit about 250-300whp, will it be possible with the engine mods iv got plus the turbo and if i need my injectors up/fuel pump. im wanting to getta full race turbo kit on the b16a.


well let me know!

The stock pump/injectors are good upto 600hp...or was it 150ish...hmmmm either way, i'd suggest upgrading those for sure.

moar air needs moar gas, yunnow?
Is your clutch gonna be strong enough? check the specs

Re:prepping b16a for turbo, some help maybe
 

I would go with uberdata, and the different pistons. the stock FP should be good. sleeves are good. stock pistons would work, but those CP's would be best. new injectors would be necessary with a turbo. some dsm 450's would be the way to go...

however, you have a decent all motor set-up there. why not try to keep it that way, and get some ITB's or something. Maybe that and LSD??? just ideas. this is hmt, but we all pretty much cant argue the fact we like pretty much anything fast.

Re:prepping b16a for turbo, some help maybe
 

if your gonna be taking that motor apart to put lower compression pistons in it i would put some rods in there too. sleeves are always a good idea if you ahve the money. you also need to find you self i decent sized turbo.

search button pwns jOO ;)

Just keep it NA

Re:prepping b16a for turbo, some help maybe
 

thanx to the first few people that answered my questions and as the the other two;i do search a lot and this is really just to make sure im on the right track. and i dont wanna stick NA cuz im already NA and i want FI.

but yeah i think im gunna change my pistons to CP 9.7:1/injectos im not sure either 5XX or 7XX's? and i was told on honda-tech that my fuel pump is still ok but injectors i gotta change. as for sleeving they also told me its not a must cuz u dont need it if all i want is just 300whp. so im not gunna cuz im kinda tight on cash but later on down the road i mite if i decide to go over 300whp if i even get that much. but the problem is theres no tuners down here in victoria. there might be one place but its a long drive. will i be safe to drive my car with the turbo+uberdata/hondata to the tuner or?

Re:prepping b16a for turbo, some help maybe
 

you will be safe on a uberdata base map. not the best, but safe. I, along with many people have been running around on a base map for awhile now. -and i beat the hell out of my car everytime i drive it. still no problems...

i cant speak for hondata

Re:prepping b16a for turbo, some help maybe
 

the piston issue can be fixed with a thicker cometic head gasket to lower compression ratio.

Re:prepping b16a for turbo, some help maybe
 

yeah but how low will that take my 12:1 ratio down? i think ill just sell my JE pistons and buy the CP 9.7:1

im new to the fuel management, im thinking about uberdata since i have obd1. do i just goto a place and they chip my ecu? and wut is basemap? if u dont wanna answer thats cool. im sure i can find the answer somewhere here lol. i just wanna kno how i can get it since i live in a small town where theres really no where i can get that unless i get it off the net? well let me know. thanx a lot!
