Good way to blow up a fairly rare motor.

 

Friend of mine down south has a boosted CTR motor. Probably a little different as far as parts than your's





I would keep it around 250whp with a very conservative tune.

 

has he taken it to the track?

 

A couple times. I think his best before the oil pump gave was a 10.6 @ 142 with full leather interior.

 

Dont boost that engine unless you have a GOOD TUNER and a good EMS system.
That engine is right on the verge of detonation anyways and by boosting it, you will blow it for sure.
You could probably get away with 5-7 psi with a perfect tune but that engine was never meant to be boosted...At the very least, put a thicker headgaskt on it to lower compression slightly...
If you wanted to boost, why did you go with the B16B?

 

Well at first to be a little more original everyone and their mother has a gsr or a si and this one I knew was located near me. So what would you consider doing? And alpha do you have anything to add to this is his car giving him any issue?

 

with a t3/t4 54-60trim that car WILL make 300whp and 180-200tq and if ur going from the 160whp its making now, again, this will be a TOTALLY different ballgame. I went from my stock 99 EX to and boosted b20 vtec when i was 17 (bad idea) and it was making like 230-250whp. Drove that until i turned 20 ( few months ago ) and built my hatchback. It made 429.1whp on 14psi pump gas. I was always jabbaring about i want 700whp. I have YET to turn the boost up and its been built and tuned for 4months now. I could throw race gas in the car and crank the boost up anytime i want. The car basically does burn outs if i lay into anywhere under 70mph. Im pretty content. I think 280-300whp on ur ctr motor will be plenty fast enough.Sorry for the lengthy post.

 

^^^welcome to tr, and good post.

unless that b16b has a bad past, its perfecty safe to boost it ATLEAST 8 psi with a conservative tune.

 

slap a type-r badge!

 

Sounds fast. Maybe we should "compare" sometime
