B16A3 Turbo question

[Quad4Civic]

My friend has a 94 del sol VTEC with the B16A3, and we are getting a turbo for it. We are going to get the full Turbonetics turbo setup. Im not sure what kinda turbo tho, i think he said t2/t3, but im not an expert on turbos and i dont know if a t2/t3 exists. well anyway on to the question. Supposeable we heard that the engine can handle 6 pounds of boost on a bone stock motor. Im just wondering if this is true. What is the max we could run on a bone stock engine pounds wise? Also, later on we will be running all new drive train with turbo cams and double spring valve springs, and prolly a bigger head gasket. My friend wants to put it up to 10 pounds, do you think a vtec can handle it? Personally i hate the idea of turbo on b16 cause you cannot run lots of boost with the high compression, i wanted him to go all motor but o well. Let me know what you all think!

6 is fine for stock. for 10psi....only is he is finely tuned at a shop so that he doesn't get and detonation. detonation at 10 with stock internals won't be good.

yeah, i wouldn't go over 6psi on stock internals... 7psi max really....

and yeah "vtec can handle it"... it's all about fuel management

anybody else with turbo on b16 experience have any opinions to share?

i have a 00 si that is turbo charged and i am run 13psi. he can run up 15psi AS LONG AS IT IS TUNED. he will be safe with the proper tuning.

on stock internals?

 

[Quad4Civic]

yes currently we have stock internals. 15 psi hey? thats a lot! what u got done to it to handle that?
