B16 turbo help

[Sarwar87]

Hey so I've dicided I want to boost my b16b but don't wannt really build my motor is there any idea what I can do

 

[Rich777]

What??

search feast your eye's to the wealth of information
a personal favorite and a good idea is check build threads see how everyone else is doing it we've some world class builds up on here you should study them all before posting up this ever repeated question

If your meaning you want to keep your engine standard and slap on a turbo kit?
You can use a water methanol injection
Obviously you will still need bigger injectors mappable ecu etc, as well as using a slightly thicker head gasket,
Imo high comp tuboo builds are awesome but it is very limited on a stock engine,

If I was you I'd sell my b16b and buy a b18c4 and go low boost on that

Hmmm, if your asking questions like this you shouldn't be going down the turbo route! Do some research first mate then you'll see what your getting into, to do it properly it's not as easy as people make out!

water injection kits are only around 100 some quid but make sure the tuner don't mind it,
seen an turbo set up with water injection tuned with the afr at 13 with full boost never had a problem,

Are these water injection kits the things that spray onto the intercooler?

Resulting in denser air?

 

[ek4vti]

Nope, it sprays a fine mist of water in the inlet air charge, usually just after the intercooler
It will cool the air some more so less chance of det,
With using methanol you will also increase the octane rating,
Think it will increase Oct rating just with water??
I'm wanting to use it as already got a kit I've put together years ago, for N/A just to cool the inlet temps and bit of safety
Don't you just hate it when in traffic for ages then the car feels so slugish when your moving again or on a hot summers day compared to a cold winters night,
Sorry for going on

Ahh I see, I take it there's only minuscule amounts of water ?

I've seen a bent rod from someone going through a big puddle, wouldn't want to be putting any sort of water into my intake :/ lol

 

[ek4vti]

It is a very fine mist of water so there wouldn't be a problem like hydro lock or whatever its called
