ive been pondering the idea of boosting my car just a few misc. questions.....
how much boost will i be able to push on my jdm b16a (rated at like 10.3:1 c/r i believe) before i start to have detonation issues on pump gas (91oct.)? is there anything i can do to drop the ratio to run more boost? without new pistons/internals etc. all i want is a quick street car ...... no 11 second bad ass.......
my boss has an old IHI turbo(off of the 80's Tbird T-coupes) sitting in his garage.... would this be ideal for the motor? where exactly do you think it will spool, and fall on its face? i would like the turbo to spool rather early in the RPM range (id like the power there throughout the gears much like vtec)
what kind of fuel system would i need to run small amounts of boost (4-6psi)?
any suggestions would be great
