    Why is he so worried about pulling the motor out? The only reason you might would take the motor out is if u were to replace ur internals, which even then, u can leave the block in the car. Since he doesnt want to pull it out, im guessing that he is going to install it himself??

    To answer your question, im sure you could get 300whp on a b16 w/ stock internals, but you will need a better intake manifold and pretty good size turbo, and then you will need a very good tune, but even w/ a great tune, im not sure how reliable 300whp is goin to be. Ive seen it done on b18s i think but im not so sure on a b16.

    Personally, i just think your friend needs to do some more research before he jumps into anything. Wanting 400hp on stock internals shows he's not very familier w/ turbos or his motor's capabilities. It's a lot of money to invest in ur car to go screwing something up cuz you didnt do ur research first. I thnk he just needs to learn a few things and figure out what his goals are first (daily driver, drag car, etc...) Maybe someone could give him a ride in theirs so he can see just how quick 250whp is in something as light as a civic is. Id say thats great for a daily driver, cuz without slicks, all 400whp is goin to do is spin the tires when u jump on it.
