is it better to build a b16a high compression and low compression?



where can i get the most power and the cons and pros of both


thanks tr

 

easily the most power is low comp + boost.
really u can just boost the stock motor and do 250+ whp on a safe tune
which imo would be the cheapest and great performance.
if u have the money to build low comp + boost obviously do it. ull get far greater performance and a more reliable motor (if built and tuned correctly)

just remember u get what u pay for and its better to do it right the first time
(from my experience alone i could have done a fully built ls/vtec boosted with the amount of money i spent building/rebuilding because of going cheap the first time with someone who swore they could build a motor)

 

pistons rods and a little t3 t4 and you will be much happier then doing a high compression bulid shooting for what 200 whp? if you lucky and that takes alot of parts and money...

NA lovers are just people who havent experianced boost yet...

id do 9.0:1 cps or any equivilent piston and eagle rods (3/8ths rod bolt)
And like a spoolin performance turbo setup or equivilent pieced together setup. if you dont have the money to do it all at once, id try and build the motor, then save up for tyhe turbo kit... do no0t be cheap, do not be cheap, do not be cheap.... i dont know how much i can stress this. people including myself have spent three times the money to make one setup good, just because we were either impacient or cheap.... it will be much more worthwhile in the long run when shit isnt breaking on you every day...

-this is just my advice, i was told the same when i started but i didnt listen, and i learned the hard expensive way... so if you cant do it right wait until you can.... PLEASE... from a fellow honda lover to another...

 

Boost!!! > *

 

well i have alot of turbo parts now minus fmic,wastegate,and a turbo

also im sending my motor to a mach. shop on jan 15 to be put together and i have the following parts


head!!!
omini dual valve spring
omini tit.retainers
omini valves 1 mm larger then stock
and all new seals and gaskets

block!!!!
eagle h beam rods
je 9.2:1 comp pistons or 10.5:1 srp pistons
all new bearings,rings ect

type r tranny ls 5th gear...of course lsd
and was just rebuilt

stage 3 act clutch pressure plate

ram horn manifold
greddy bov
3 in down pipe
all intercooler piping
and all oil lines

i havnt bought any cams due to i wasnt sure what build i was going to do...but boost is sounding like its a better build


any one got any hp numbers for a b16 turbo build
or even track times i just wanna know what i should expect from this build

 

id say 300+whp shouldnt be a problem at all definitely use the 9.2:1 plus je's are better then srp's

 

me rex ran a 12.7 tuned at 260hp on 7lbs. with a b16a with a t3/t4. boost is a little higher now haha. good luck with the swap man.

 

I just spent a little over $4k building an all motor setup and I'm hoping to hit 200whp. With that much money I could have gotten a decent turbo kit and boost a stock motor and make 250whp easily and still have some money left over. You will get the most bang for your buck going with boost.

 

spray an h22a hahahah

 

qft, its the best bang for you buck!

I miss my prelude
