b16bhonda Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 ok, since my car is going in the garage in a couple monthe for the winter, i've decided to go against my original N/A build. so turbo it is. i've really been making an attempt to research this in depth before doing anything. i really don't want more than about 8psi...nothing too serious, just something little. i tried to make a list...let me know what you guys think, and if i forgot to mention anything. i know solles is going to be pissed at this thread Garrett T3 .42./.48 50 trim Turbo Tubular stainless Manifold TiAL 38mm 7psi Wastegate 3" Downpipe (recirc. wastegate, wideband ready) 3" exhaust w/ test pipe Spearco FMIC 2.5" Charge Piping w/ hose and T-bolt clamps SSQV BOV 550 injectors Hondata s200 new fuel pump CP 9.8:1 pistons i'm not sure what to do about tuning. there's really no where around here i can take my car. anywhere in PA? will i need something like ems? i want this motor to still be safe, so that's why i'm not wanting to run that much boost. it's also most likely going to be my daily driver. discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 BOOST FTMFW. post pics, i think every reg should make their own thread and post mad pics of progress.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16bhonda Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 i will definitely post pics of the whole process...start to finish. i'll make a video when it's all done...should be pretty cool. but that's a while down the road. there's someone else with a ctr swap on here!...jdmcoupe and i don't think i'm considered a regular...at least not to some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Boosting a B16B and with no experienced tuner's around to tune the setup? Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I would get better injectors and a ramhorn manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I would go NA. With boosting it, you eliminated the entire point of getting that motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 i was thinking of a project that i didn't have to take the entire motor apart, but that's the very reason i posted this thread...to see what you guys thought. so everyone's vote is pretty much with the n/a build? but keep in mind that i didn't want to run high boost...around 8lbs or so.

CleanGSR Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 No, I vote for boost (despite what may have come out in my other post). I've never seen a boosted CTR motor so I'd like to see it. There are plenty of people running ITR motors with boost and making tons of daily driven horsepower. I think I would keep it at around 7psi though and do some research and find someone in your area that tunes hondata or crome. Check hondata's website and see if they have a dealer near you.

b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 i think the closest dealer to morgantown is in winchester, virginia. i was looking at the s200...that seems fitting for what i want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I have decided on the s200 as well. For 7 psi why dont you get a t25 or something about that size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Because then he's limited if he ever builds his motor. A GT28 might be perfect though.....Pricey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 i was looking on westcoast-turbo.com and that's what i found...i think someone recommended that site a while ago in some other thread. so what turbo? would that change the rest of the setup?

b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 also, i'm just using the stock ctr exhaust cam. would that need to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I didnt know you would be building later, my bad. I would want something that spools fast. If you do want to build it later you should get the GT28RS. Its a BB turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 after the turbo project, i wouldn't build anything else for a long while. i'm really just looking for something small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'm just wondering, since the B16B revs so high.....would the T25 run out of "juice" before he hit redline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I dont know, It seems to do fine on SR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 so you think the t25 would still keep power in high end? and about the tuning, winchester seems like the closest place for hondata dealers, would i go here to get it tuned after i get s200? i know a lot more about the actual turbo setup than i know about tuning. so does my list still look ok?

Chubs Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 and i don't think i'm considered a regular...at least not to some people Your my favorite noob, so in which I now consider you a reg . If I were you I would go with the Disco Potato, I have a T25 in my room thats from my brother Mazdaspeed protege but the turbine is fracked, I also am going to pick up a GT3037 next friday from Total Performance Racing for my build, will be using it on stock pistons and rods and on 10:1 compression but I will only be running like 6-8 PSI. I almost agree with Hung on the T25 running out of juice I think the your motor would like the GT28 alot more, if you just want a turbo without having to really worry about anything get the T25 but if your looking for power get the Disco Potato.

90IntegraC1 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 B16BHonda-you are officially a REG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 i'm with you chubs...i only want to run about 6-8 psi...on stock pistons/rods. driving to cincinnati is more than twice the distance than from morgantown to winchester...so i'm hoping i can find someone reliable to tune it. will i be ok driving to a tuner?

b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 B16BHonda-you are officially a REG. oh snap...i can talk down to noobs now lol. thanks 90, that makes me feel good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Only problem is, how do you get your car to the dyno after the turbo install and prior to the tune? Can't drive it 'til it's tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16bhonda Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 that's what i was thinking...so how would i solve this problem? the closest hondata dealer, like i said earlier, is a long way away. and i don't know where else i would take it to get it tuned.
