I would swap the oil pump to a GSR pump. But after that I think the top end and bottom end will be able to handle 8000 rpm no problem.

why wouldnt my b16 oil pump work?

I built an LS VTEC, soon to turboed

You have to use a DOHC VTEC oil pump, B16, or any B18C pump. Bolts right on, easy install, its optional to use the stock b18a/b water pump or upgrade to a VTEC one. If you do you have to use either a GSR belt or a Type-R one.

Stealthmode sells a good oil line kit, that is what I bought. To block the oil passage on the b16 head, I threaded in a block end style fitting instead of welding it up. If you are buying new headbolts, eg ARP. Buy them to match your head.

Jeff's turbo LS VTEC netted 302 HP to the wheels at like 8 grand+ at 12psi, good numbers in my opinion for a 1.8

Side note, don't rev the ---- out this setup, when I ran N/A i had my fuel cutoff at 8250. This is not a REV happy setup.

I like the added displacement, lots of torque compared to just a B16.

My friend had a b16a with a gerredy kit and he put 183.4 HP and 150.blabla Ft/lbs of torque on the dyno. Thats just at 8 psi. I was amazed. He only has an fmu and 255 lph fuel pump. thats it. He gets real close to 14:1 a/f though. That scares me cuz one day it might go boom. It hella fast though. With the B18 you should make at least that. I just can't wait for the vafc and bigger injectors. more boost and better tunning. hell yeah.

haha john. this is just a baseline pull. i need to tune the ---- out of it. im running about 14:1 A/F at 4k, and about 10:1 top end

oh yeah and my boost? dont ask. starts at 8. ends up at 5. ------- wastegate acutator. someone sell me a new greddy 15g internal waste gate~!!!

That is a shitty pull for a b16 running 8psi, it should be closer to 220-240 at the wheels. What turbo are you running? and please get some better management then an FMU.
