How much Boost to stock motor?

[DeucedEK]

save it for when its built. i dont see the point in spending cash to get the parts, tune, etc. to drive for a month or 2. take it off the road, build it right, and then go have fun w/o the worries of blowing your stock motor. on the other hand, it should hold 350whp w/o any problems( with a good tune), but i would still do it the "right way"

my 8th is on 10psi on a 6262 did good numbers, stock motor And everyone knows my civic that goes to HOAP. A great tune will make those motor last a long time

axles and the transmission are the things holding this car back. I've seen reliable 350+ hp setups. By reliable, I mean daily driven, no issue cars. If your goal is ~300hp, a stage 2/stage 3 supercharger kit might not be bad. The lower torque numbers help spare the transmission and you don't have to worry too much when you're ripping through the gears. Plus s/c has no lag, sounds pretty sick on a k, and will get you your power goals. It's not easy driving 300+ hp on a car, even with boost by gear.

there are a couple of s/c'd k20 civics in ct too...they go to the ny/nj races a lot.

It all matters on what size turbo you have. Are u buying a turbo kit or piecing one together? If its all on a stock motor then ur obviously not going crazy big. I'm running precision 60-1 trim on my stock k24. I'm at 13 psi at 350 whp. Looking to up it soon , if ur looking at the same size or around there u would Prolly wana stay in the 10 psi range for a rsx. Still will bang out over 300. Supercharger may have no lag , but it has limits that a turbo will far exceed, it takes more power to spin since its belt driven , u will suffer from heat soak depending on how small of a pulley u go, which then u will have to spend more for a custom after cool setup or methonal injection. Pound for pound a turbo will always be better than a blower. I've owned both on a k series, and the blower was fun for getting started. But once u wana start making serious power the blower isn't gona cut it

Well said now that's REAL TALK approved but I would piece together a kit instead of buying one.. You can get better parts for great deals when alot of people are parting out good turbo setups and make more power than a kit and still be way under budget .. I say have your turner tune the car with turbo setup on and when he feels its safe and you can still enjoy it leave it at that.. Whats better enjoying the car for a few days and run alot of boost or run a little less and safe and reliable.. Hope it helps

If ur looking for just a decent turbo kit and not trying to get to crazy. Check out this company called emusa.. a lot of my k series friends have gone this route and found good success, gtimportfanatic who posted earlier on here is someone who can vouche for this kit. It's a cheap turbo kit to get u started. Don't forget no matter what u chose u need kpro with any boost setup, a few kits come with kpro , revhard being one of em ( my turbo kit). Or peice one together like redjdm said above. Either way good luck !
