I’m getting a b16a and I’m pretty sure i’m gonna get it sleeved golden eagle and the turbo will be a gt35r. How many lbs to hit 500whp and do i need to do anything other than forged rods and pistons to safely run 500? ---

Variable question. Short answer? 30psi-ish. [http://www.atpturbo.com/root/maps/gt35r.htm](http://www.atpturbo.com/root/maps/gt35r.htm) ---

Here’s what I’m shooting for… GT3582R B18C1 (sleeved GSR out to 2.0 Liters) Stock crank Manley TT rods Weisco Forged reinforced pistons, 9.0:1 some kind of high quality rings probably stock Honda bi-metal bearings (or ACL tri-metal) Hondata intake gasket Skunk2 Pro intake mani some brand of mini-ram exhaust mani (full-race is good but costly…talk to HybriD) Tial 38mm WG Greddy RS BOV Head gone over with all new springs, valves and titanium retainer hardware (not sure of brand yet, probably omni power?) ITR cams, or some other boost friendly cams walbro 255 intank pump some kind of rising rate FPR Crome Pro on chipped P28 with a decent basemap (to start) GM 3 bar manual boost controller, just not Turbo-XS from what I heard. …and I’m designing for 24+ psi and shooting for 500+ whp… Sound about right? If you’re sleeving the b16, what mm are you boring out to? I ordered 84mm for 2.0L on GSR crank. If you go stock dimensions for B16 you’d need more boost to make 500 whp…and a GT3582R will do it on the 81mm from my sources. ---

My Opinions… -Wiseco pistons come with rings (id just use them) -Hondata intake manifold gasket is junk. mine melted/deformed -38mm is way to small for 500+ i boost creep like a mofo. wish i went 44mm -Hondata S300 FTW, i dont like crome on big $$ setups (thats just me) -dunno if id run a walboro 255 pump for 500+ they make a setup for (2) 255’s intake. id run that or a sump -Also when it comes to mani selection…LifteTime Warranty Pays Off! ---

i was at like 28 psi on a 61mm turbo crossing the 500 mark with decent cams ls crank and a gsr head I would run an intake up to 600whp and not be scared! ---

Also i dont think i would get a b16 motor sleeved they have a shorter deck, sleeve a ls or GSR… let me throw some prices at your, sleeves 1000 pistons rods 900 water/oil pump 175 gasket’s and bearings 225 head studs 100 injectors 200-300 turbo mani + waste gate 500-800+ There are ALOT of things ---

I’ll be over the 5 mark in the near future, and like these guys have already said…it’s going to take more than just pistons and rods and a GT35. ---

i guess i was too vague. 1000cc injectors, skunk2 intake manifold, aem fuel rail, tuned on crome unless there’s a reason against it, tial 44 wastegate, turboxs bov, equal length mani, 81.5 bore, gsr cams maybe type r, i’m hoping to find a mani and downpipe that’ll be ac compatible, it may be a pipe dream. you guys don’t think a single walbro will support 500? anyway, didn’t mean to sound like a total noob, just was wondering about fuel pump, cams, etc. ---

And that’s the source I am referring to…407 whp stock bottom end and with cranked boost setup was 500+ stenz, I wanted to go 44mm or larger, but all I have right now is 38mm…it’ll have to do for now. ---

I got 513 whp 425 trq w/ 30/82 on stock fuwl lines, walbro 255 and 1000cc injectors on hondata s200. Motor is built bottom up they horsepower is pretty easy to achieve its how long you want it to last is where you spend the money.
