I know, I know

ok, how practical would it be to boost a b18 with 10.5:1 CP on pump gas. And it to be a DD? With a good tune on the dyno, would it be safe? I'm asking because the engine I bought came with JE pistons.

 

[Steven.]

yeah with good tune.

how much boost? what turbo. details

 

[jason_guy_yeah]

well, since I'm still kinda new to this. I was thinking maybe a garret t3/t4oe with a 57 trim...as for boost. I wanna try to push near 400hp. Oh yeah, I'm gonna put in eagle H-beams too.

 

[Shiznit]

negative on the 400hp without internals being built. and its t04e not t4oe

 

[jason_guy_yeah]

oh, my bad. So, with JE pistons, eagle rods, stainless steel valves and maybe a balance crank; What can my engine handle?

he said it had JE pistons and he was putting in H beams.

 

[Steven.]

your goign tot need a good tune, and turbo system.

 

[jason_guy_yeah]

But, is it practical to have 10.5:1 CP on pump gas though? I really don't want detonation

 

[Shiznit]

that depends on your tune. i dont think its very practical for 400hp though

 

[jason_guy_yeah]

that depends on your tune. i dont think its very practical for 400hp though

What would you recomend on the current setup I would have?

 

[Shiznit]

no i meant pump gas, i think you would want to run 93 or 95. but again it depends on your tune, you can get a tune that aims for the most HP and run race gas, or you can get a tune that dumps a lot of fuel and run pump gas. with the setup you mentioned 400hp is definetely within reach.

 

[ryanM]

you can also tune 2 fuel maps so you could run pump gas without a problem making a lil less power, and then when you really wanna give er hell switch fuel maps and put some race gas in there.

 

[jason_guy_yeah]

awsome, and that's possible on honed stock sleeves? This'll be a great winter project.

that turbo's got your name on it

 

[Inigo Montoya]

no more than 10 pounds on a -perfect- tune

practical = not at all, down right foolish

 

[slambed_civic]

im gonna be runngin a fully build LS Long block with stock sleeves, looking for around 400 @ the wheels. on pump gas. well see. they also sell 100 octane here @ the pumps in select places
