So whats the deal with boosting a b16?

Nope. I know this guy too. He is running 12's alright. But I think he was pushing 8 psi vice 5.5psi. To make it even more unbelievable, he is only using an FMU....no stand alone. It is possible.

This is my 2 psi on this subject:

As far as the P&P on boosted motors, I prefer rough edges on the intake side. This creates a more atomized fuel mixture which we all know is ideal for any type of internal combustion engines. I do recommend polishing the exhaust ports tho. This will allow smoother exhaust gas scape, thus causes faster spool time..... to some extent anyway.

The cheapest way to get to 11's on that light a** car is to get a b18a/b and boost. I'm sorry, I must say that B18c5 or any typeR engines are overrated. I have one. I even have the J-Spec B18C typeR. Shit is still not enough. That is why I'm boosting it. But think about it tho, boosting a typeR motor to get it to create more power is really pointless budget wise. If all you want is hit lower track time, then boost a cheap B18A/B or B20B/Z and tune that shit. I guarantee you that you will hit better numbers quicker on a boosted car......yes, a honda......... than an all motor honda. Let's face it. Hondas are not fast cars. It is dumb to think that Hondas are fast..... It's just that it can take some beating, revs high, and the aftermarket parts support is close to endless compared to other imports/compact cars out there.......

Again, this is just my opinion. Absorb it or not, that is up to you.

So what would you do in a 1991 CRX si then buddy?

I mean, takeing into consideration legalness...
