how much boost

[ushouldnous]

I just wanted to here some opinions on how much boost B16 sleeves can take I am going to charge my si but I dont know how much? all opinions are appriciated

should be able to handle about 10 PSI if the engine is tuned. I'd run like 7 though till you can reinforce the block

Its all about the TUNING. Stock internals can handle 12psi safely tuned, I've seen people run 16psi for years. You asked about the sleeves though. Shit, there are 11 and 10 second cars running stock sleeves and sometimes blockguard. Don't believe, search around the net. For a daily driven car, you should be fine for at least 20psi (sleeves), just get it tuned right. Its not the boost that kills that motor, its the idiotic people who drive the cars. Look on some forums where that are alot of boosted hondas like clubsi, honda-acura.net, or honda-tech.

nicely said finally a honda person that knows what he is talking about ... Just jokin around man... but yes proper tuning is everything. I dropped 5 tenths of a second just by tuning my car out.

P.S. car looks sweet as hell. What tiimes does it run??

Ha thanks. I have seen people acomplish insane things on a dyno, hell I picked up 50 horse from leaning out my over rich a/f ratio. I wish I knew what it would run now. Be rest assured that I'll post the slips right up as soon as I do.

Thats where I picked up my power. I got a scanmaster for my car and my 02 sensor milivolts where like 890-900... They are suppost to be in the 760-790 range. leaned it out and I was able to run more boost and it spooled up faster.
