I think I might boost my b16 for a little extra fun while I build up my b18c5 in my garage. I don't want to go with anything crazy. Just maybe about 6 or 7lbs of boost, stock internals, and a good tune. How's this set up sound with completely stock internals and how does such a small set up feel on the street? Thanks a lot

Garrett 42/48 (I know a 60 trim would probably be better but Im cheap and I like a little faster spool)
DSM 390's or 450's
log mani
2.5" downpipe
catless
custom 2.25" intercooler piping
JRC intercooler
1st gen DSM BOV
stealthmode oil kit
Crome tuned

 

almost exactly the same as my old set up....have fun

 

atleast hit up a 60 trim man on a b16

 

Agree'd.

 

Im no expect for sure but I why would my top end die off so much. I hear that all the time, yet GST's are 2.0L and use a T25 and still have power everywhere. Would my power really fall off THAT much with a 1.6L? Plus, I just want something to play around with around town for now. 42/48's are a lot easier to find for under 200 bucks. When I rebuild my ITR, I'll probably upgrade to a 60/63.

 

42/48 is useless on a b

 

That's what Im going with. Anyone know where I can get a good one for right at or under 200 bucks from a company that sells used ones? The only company I know of is Spooled Motorsports but I don't know anything about them or their turbo's...

 

Pretty much similar setup to what I'll have.

Shotpeened B16 rods
Forged pistons
Garrett T3
External WG
DSM 450's
Custom manifold
tuned using uber or crome

10 psi daily.

 

yea but Im gonna be running on completely stock internals with hopefully some ARP head studs and that's it. Im only gonna run around 6-7psi though.
