WG project a success
 

ok I have a boosted b18c and because of the high CR I can only run like 4-5 psi and that’s hard when the waste gate on the turbo is set to 9psi. I tried just moving the wg so the flapper was open a little to the point that it toped out at my wanted boost but I didn’t build boost till 5000 so ---- that.

so what I did was cut open an old wg I had sitting around. it was set to around 9 psi too. once I got it open I just cut the spring down that was in side so there wasn’t as much presser on it when I welded it back together. and what do you know it worked I start building boost under 2300 and hit full around 2800 and it stop right be4 5psi ;D

U know 10psi is the minimum amount of boost right? >:D

Re: WG project a sucsees
 

not sure what you mean by that but i dont know how much i know...looks like i dont even know how to spell

Re: WG project a success
 

10 psi and less is weaksauce, in other words. Throw 12 psi at that bitch. lol

Re: WG project a success
 

yeah 12 psi with 10.5-1 compression sounds more like a bomb then a motor

Most ignorant statement of the night fo sho

Re: WG project a success
 

what kind of fmu are u running?

Re: WG project a success
 

hahaha

Re: WG project a success
 

i dont see how thats so ignorant. the motor is all stock and has to last me for a few years. i know that if you tune it right you can run boost like that but all i can do right now is a little street tuning so for me i would say 12 is dangerous for my motor

as for fmu i have dsm 450s chipped ecu tuned with crome. i dont have the tuning tools my buddy does so i dont have a lot of time to run around tuning

Re: WG project a success
 

gsr's have 10.5 compression stock ?? p.s. i was running 14 psi on a b16 that 10.2:1 .. that was on a t3/t4 50 trim turbo an a safc for about 9 months with no problem i just sold the turbo and the car is still running :y

Re: WG project a success
 

its a jdm gsr out of an integra xsi or somethin like that i think so yes its 10.5-1 and i know that i can run more but im not trying to get a ---- load of power just a little edge on the other swapped hondas and like i said it has to last for like 3 years if it blows im going to be driving a red 92 chevy corsica so i hope you see now why im being safe.

beside this thread was suppose to be about the way i got my boost with no lag not about why a chose to run that boost

Re: WG project a success
 

8psi +crome + 450s = no loss of sleep, safe

plus if you plan on having the car for years you wont be beating the ---- out of it.... up the boost -----

Re: WG project a success
 

maybe later i have a 1700 mile drive to Az in about a week so im workin on other things then the boost right now

Re: WG project a success
 

whatchu doing in az?

Re: WG project a success
 

school family and just wanna get away from IL it has rained for like the last 4 days and is getting cold

Re: WG project a success
 

my buddy had a JDM B18C in his hatch turbocharged with stock compression. that ---- was like 10-11psi daily... made 314whp and ran a 12.9 on street tires...

but if you want to be a -----, buy a Cometic/SCE/InlinePro thick ass headgasket and youll be set for 15+ lbs of boost from a good sized turbo... :y
