Traction, practice, traction, traction, traction and alot of practice. See if you can get a rear stiffer mount by the firewall. The under-chassi mounts won't help alot of boost cars, for N/As yes. The motor flex too much when boosted.
Also, invest on some traction bars, that will be the best scenior for you setup. Go to the track every week and practices.
Your B16 has compression of 10.2:1 (I think, I forgot) but safely to go around 10psi but without knowing your A/F ratio, its very critical.
I suggest taking a trip to Titan Motorsports if you happan to live in Orlando.
More boost means more power, more power means less traction, less tractions means guys with barley 185hp will owned you. And thats sad.

I love boosted Hondas.

Almost 102 will easily net you a 13.5-13.9 on dr's even with fwd. I hit high 8s at sunshine with a 78mph trap.

Don't be such a dick, she is a chic without experience.
She simply asked for advice not for some dick to make a stupid comment.

I'd have to agree with vito ... shouldn't consider more boost until you can handle what you got.

thanxs for all the help, i havent tuned it yet cause i dont know where a good place to tune it at for a fairly decent price, i live in ocala, and i just recently had it installed so i havent had a chance to dyno it with the holidays around(spending money for x-mas), so if you know a good dyno around my area let me know,

thanxs,
Jessica

what are you launching at rpm wise??? and how much boost are you launching off the line with??? the reason I ask is you have to give the turbo time to spoolup but also at the same time you dont want to spin your tire's down the track....

The stock b16 can handle maybe 300whp daily with boost and fuel...

That turbo can make about 350whp with boost and fuel but your pistons will experience lots of heat and probably detonate and melt the top of them off...

If you were to spend money on a set of pistons and keep redline to 9,000rpm with a set ot ITR cams and Valvetrain, you can make about 350whp daily with proper fuel...

Whats your suspension and wheel/tire combination? You need to reduce power at the line and increase power as you progress down the track...Hondas will spin in all 5 gears if they make enough power...If you can tackle the traction with 300whp then you can be as quick in the quarter as people with 400whp and traction problems...
