That question is so vague.
What are your goals? If your goal is to have about 140 WHP and do the 1/4 mile in high 15's...you don't need to boost it.

^^^ nygacr once showed a guy with a supra turbo how to turn up the boost... it didn't stop there.. next thing you know the guy doesn't have a car:lol:
and for the record i don't think you should boost it... save yourself the trouble and get a good fast second car or a second car you can boost... drive your civic daily if you love it that much, because after you boost it you're going to drive it less |

Wrong..
If anything I drive mine MORE...
And if you love it.. I hope you have cash to back up your love.. cause when you add serious performance parts like this.. things tend to break.. Not likely.. But the chance is there... I'll respond to your PM tomorrow.. :p |

If you invest that much money for Turbo, I think you should buy something RWD or AWD and turbo it, Keep your Civic as a daily driver ... Sure you will have some power if you turbo it but you wont get it to the ground;)
Just my 0.1 cents |

Nothing wakes you up in the morning like a bar of boost slamming you back in the seat.:thumbup: |

| Well I'm not going for big boost, what I'm looking for is anywheres between 200-250whp at about 7psi nothing huge and I don't think that buy running that much boost not much should break I wouldn't think not like if I were to shoot for 350whp or something. |

just so I understand you are shooting for 200+ whp with a civic and not expecting things to break
now I am not completely up on civics or anythign so not sure what base HP in them is but am assuming in the 100-140 range. to get that in to the 200-250 range I am failry sure you will need about 9 psi of boost and will definately want to have the intercooler as well may need to look into better fuel delivery.
don't get me wrong not trying to bring you down on turboing your ride but you need to know its a lot of work and money and you should definately do your research. I miss my turbo car and plan to get another one down the road so yeah it is worth it to do it but you have to be aware going in what it is really going to cost you. |

Remember folks, it's not about the boost you run, its about how much boost you run on the turbo you're using.
Everyone always seems to forget that.
With my big T3, at 5psi I put down 200WHP and 196ft/lbs. |

| i would have to agree with the rest of everyone when they say boost it!!! boost is your best friend.. trust me.. it will never let you down. and if it does its expensive. but well worth it! boost that shit!!! |

| well as it stands right now the car dynoed at 144whp but now I have a full 2.5 inch exchaust. I know that the stock injectors are only good for about 200hp which is fine for now. I plan on getting bigger injectors fuel pump and at that time I will put my P28 ecu with crome in it and tuner it better. The guy who had it before me had a turbo on it and was running 4psi and was hitting 195whp on stock exchaust and no chipped ecu and stock injectors and fuel pump and no mods so for right now 195whp will be okay until I do the upgrades that I have mentioned then I'll turn it up to 7psi and see what I get. |

^ You're not going to get 195WHP off of 4psi.

It's totally possible.. don't just jump the guns.. and say; 'You're not going to get it'...
He never mentioned what turbo he was going to use.. so.. Keep that in mind. :lol: |

That means nothing when you are only starting out with 140WHP. You're not going to get 55WHP from 4 psi. Regardless of what turbo you use.
I'm sure you guys have built numerous turbo Hondas and have a Civic pushing 500 WHP...so I won't say another word.
Anyways, this is a thread about to boost or not to boost. Let's keep it on topic...

Diiiiiid.. You not see this post?? And jeff has the older B16. with the B16A2.. I'm sure it'd be just as easy.

Definately not gonna happen (unless he does some other engine work).
And for the record I would never drive I boosted car as a daily...20psi sure does wake u up though. |

I might take you up on that offer, wife wants to boost her b16a2, not sure how well it would behave on a daily basis. |

| You know the more I think about it, with the budget I have and all the little extra things that I would have to do to tune and the thoughts of geeeh will something break I think I would always have that thought in the back of my mind of the whole reliablity, I guess what I'm trying to say is it wouldn't make me feel secure about the car so what I might do is put my money towards stuff like a full coilover set up so I can have a smoother ride then the coilover springs I have in the car now, chip my P28 ecu and put my Skunk2 cam gears on and have that tuned might even pick up a Skunk 2 intake manifold and a few other little things to make the car look good. I know I probably sound like a women going back and forth unable to make my damn mind up, it's frustrating as hell but I think this might be the besy way to go?????????? |

Wrong,
My stock D16A6 with low comp 8:1 pistons netting MAYBE 90 WHP made 154HP and 14xft-lbs on 5 PSI thats 60whp on 5lbs, why is 55 on 4 so un believable? |

I notice your sig. Get this, I have a buddy who is making a 100% replica of Mad Max's car. Its almost ready to roll. He had a Falcon (or whatever car it was) shipped here from australia, found the guy who made the original supercharger scoop, got one of those, I don't know how much he has spent, but i DO know he spent $37,000 on the bodywork and paint. Yes, THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND!!!! This guy is insane!!
I told him he needs to buy a blue heeler and a leather coat with only one sleeve!!!
LOL I'll try to get some pics if you want. That car is CRAZY!!! It will be on the road this summer! |

Lets see a Dynochart that proves me wrong. I'm sick of hearing about numbers on the internet. Lets see some evidence, instead of talking out your ass.

Obviously theres no changing your mind , I dont even know why people ask these questions on the board, you know what you wanna do, do it.. Have fun, put lots of money in it and break it..
Dont forget to invest money into RRSP's and such to build your future before you fuck with cars..

I meant that in reference to the fact that Vtec (in his honda) doesn't kick in until about 4800rpms (I think) and turbo's don't make much power below 3000 on a 4 banger. So he won't have a ton of power in the low end is what I'm saying, hence lag.

| I only posted mine cause I was told 50hp on 4lbs is impossible, yet a STOCK D16A6 is about 95WHP and mine was 8:1 compression, and stock is 9.8:1 so... I'd wager mine was about 90 hp if not less to the wheels, and it made those numbers on 5lbs.. |

Nice numbers on that motor :thumbup: Surprising for 5 pounds. Kinda odd how fast it drops off though...especially for a Honda.
Still doesnt prove my therory for 4 pounds though :p

| Start off with a small by small i mean low boost. And make sure it is upgradeable, fai is not for everybody but is a cheap alternative to get hp. dollar to horsepower ratio can be insanely high on a na engine and if you have a realistic goal set for hp like 200- 250. I would say keep it around 200 or you will need heavier con rods not to mention melted rings and valves. btu i say boost the fork out of her. :thumbup: |
