16g

[Hondakiller]

i have a stock 1g motor will it be ok to run the 16g turbo at 14 psi? everthing is stock

 

[Hondakiller]

y i ask is that i have the head off and fig. that ill put the 16g in when i put it back together and w8 till i get the maf injector and eprom to turn the boost up

 

A few things:

Stop talking in internet "text" language.

Second, search.

Third, you can run the 16g on a completely stock motor but I would leave it at stock boost pressures because our IC is inadequate on even the stock 14b.

14psi ***should*** be OK - you may run out of fuel (and clutch if stock) much past that.

Agreed on both of the above.

You can run it stock motor, but will probably need to upgrade the fuel pump. I would highly recomend upgradeing the IC as well.

A 16g at 14psi might as well be a 14b at 14psi.

Why? I understand that running equal boost pressure between the two seems like it wouldn't make a difference, but then what about efficiency, transient response, and overall flow capabilities? I don't know about you, but my stock 14b runs out of steam before redline. Perhaps a 16g won't?

At 1 bar (~ 15psi) their respective efficiencies are indistinguishable. You won't know that you have a 16g 'till you hit ~17psi and you won't know which 16g you have until you hit ~20psi. If anything, the 14b has a smaller wheel and less inertia to spool so it will display faster response than any of the 16g variants.

What psi. are you running?
