Best Boosted B-series?

[Vteckidd]

but see Juan, you understand that 350whp on a stock b16 is pushing it, would you call that reliable?

youve been around long enough to know whats FEASIBLE and whats NOT.

[Shawn]

Mike, you say you have been in the game for awhile, then see what has been proven. Shawn(nextelbuddy) did 326 on a stock GSR, tuned by Ed, never any problems. Peter did 420 on a stock GSR, tuned by Ed, no problems.

Tuners can make a name for themselves by pushing the envelope. st00pid made over 600 on a stock H22(one-fab the scammer, but still). This car lasted alot of 1/4 mile passes.

Im not trying to talk smack, I know Scotty tunes a lot of cars(he does, not you). But tuners make a name for themselves but doing great things and pushing the envelope. If you wanna play it safe you'll never make it anywhere. I hate to say this, but i know scotty plays it very safe, all the cars i have seen him tune run rich as shit and the rears of the cars are black as hell. Im not talking shit, but if you wanna push the motor a little more, take it to Ed.

[Vteckidd]

ill totally disagree with you. I do not tune the cars myself, youre correct. However, it doesnt mean i dont know whats going on.

We have to tune them safe, an we have made LOTS of power on several cars that have pushed the envelope (spoolins, s2000, 2JZ, Daniels, etc)

Im NOT saying its not possible, but its not RELIABLE, PERIOD. if you think it is, then we can agree to disagree.

Scotty pushed the envelope all the time, i think 260whp on a b16 is a little aggressive. But thats me, ive seen 6 of them in the last 6 months that have popped an we have had to rebuild them. thats my PERSONAL experience.

As far as comparing ed to scotty, IMO, there is no comparison, ive seen JUNK that ed has tuned as well. $1300 to tune my GFs ITR that runs 12:1 an made 162whp. it was the worst graph i have ever seen. And she was ripped off blatantly. Talk about black smoke on the back of a bumper....

I dont mind Ed, he makes good power on ISPs cars an a few others i have seen. But i stand behind scotty, otherwose i wouldnt have him here tuning for us so maybe im biased. To say that ED is aggresive is ludicrous, hes aggressibve on ISPs cars, maybe, but the average joe, no way in hell, hes as conservative as they come.

we'll push your car as much as you want, but if it pops, dont blame the tuning, cause ill pull the a/f grahps up an theyll be flat and where they are supposed to be, its your motor that failed. not my problem.

cheers

Well said Mike, Scotty has tuned both my cousin's H23accord-t and Kid Battle(Srt-4) cars and all is well, and he'll be tuning H23accord-t new built H23 engine. Can't wait to see what happens. Good things, Good things

Just so you can read what MIke said

I think when it comes to Tuning ,some people on here are biased.I understand he works or contracts for you guys but that dont make someone else less of a tuner.

Especially since Ed has been tunning cars for 15 years and attentds all the classes to get better at tuning everyday!!

ED IS THE MAN AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS IN MY BOOK SINCE ENGINEERED PERFORMANCE. WITH THAT KINDA EXPERIENCE U SHOULD EXPECT MORE HORSEPOWER AND BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN U WOULD FROM A ROOKIE.

true, tuners can make a good name for themselves pushing the envelope, but also make a bad name for popping engines on the dyno. i push as far as the customer wants to go. if they ask my opinion i'll give it to them. a lot of time they say they want to daily drive and want it reliable and i make those recommendations and be conservative. however, if they say that's ok and want want to push it xx far because they heard on the internet someone made xx power i'll do it as long as they know that it might not end as happily for them.

what afr do i tune at? not as rich as your statement implies. how much more power does a n/a car make at 13.0 vs 14.0 wot? how about a boosted one at 11psi or less between 11.5 and 12.5? the reality is not very much. fuel is used as a thermal barrier to help prevent detonation and increase the reliablility of the motor in these instances. any boosted car will have a sooty bumper whether it's tuned at 13.0 (insane) or 11.5 (not that i tune all of them that rich).

aggressiveness comes from timing. you stop adding timing when the addition of timing stops increasing power or detonation occurs. luckily many honda motors have a nice buffer zone where power increases slow/stop before detonation begins, unless you are being "aggressive" on your afr and lose that buffer. race gas is the other magic bullet to help push it when you really push the boost up and cylinder pressures get extreme to not follow this rule.

when it's all said and done i have to answer to each and every customer i tune and also answer to shops that refer me those customers. i'm not going to take advantage of them for the chance to "make a name for myself". my goal is to give a good tune and service to each car and customer. if that makes me conservative then i'm guilty.

[Shawn]

^ these are just a few cases, lots of people push stock motors, but dont act like it isnt reliable because you guys havent done it

[Shawn]

Well then, lets agree to disagree so we save ourselves the time

[Vteckidd]

Well then, lets agree to disagree so we save ourselves the time

agreed lol

[Vteckidd]

A CAST PISTON will not hold up OVER TIME to 18-20psi, sorry. thats my opinion. If you disagree with it, then thats fine, and im not saying people CANT make XXX whp, but to classify it as RELIABLE whp, when your making double to triple to quadruple the oringal power out put an call it reliable, i find that funny

[Vteckidd]

and i would bet money we tune way more hondas than any other shop, so if scotty hasnt made himself a name by now, i dont know what hes gonna have to do to "make it"

not being arrogant, just telling the truth.

I MUST ADMITT SCOTTY HAS GOTTEN WAYYYYY BETTER FROM WHEN I FIRST WENT TURBO.

Ill agree to disagree with you guys. When it comes to reliable power, i stand by my statements.

if you , the customer, want to push it past that, if it makes the power, then thats fine, if it pops, ill be there holding the waiver

mike whats there to disagree about? whats your definition of reliable power? in the thread you have 2 people that made over 300 hp (trihn 320, peter 425) beat the shit out of the motors, drag raced them every friday and they both ran for over a year and they were pulled out in perfect condition..

[BTEC]

I SAY THE GSR IS THE BEST B-SERIES TO BOOST. MORE TORQUE THAN THE B16 AND IT HAS VTEC (BETTER AIRFLOW) AND REVS HIGHER THAN THE LS B18A/B.

AND IT HAS OIL SQUIRTERS, LS MTR DOESNT. LOL!!!

[RiceBoy]

I made 320 whp on mine..A completely stock GSR engine 4 yrs ago...Yes, 4 yrs ago when everyone didn't think stock block can be boosted and much less over 300..Here is a video from one of Commerce fast friday nites...The car lasted the whole year with weekly visits to Commerce..Still would have lasted even longer but I yank it out for the built block I was building..Sold it to a dude out west....that was a good block too...

[juan b]

i dont understand why people say its not reliable to make over 300 on a stock block.. there are too many ppl that have done it on honda-tech to not say its possible and reliable..

i guess your right we cant tell if they are lying but i know for a FACT peter (isp) made 425hp on a completly stock gsr motor,15 psi, drag raced every friday for over a year, (best run 11.20) then pulled the motor and sold it.. if thats not reliable i dont know what is. and drag racing is beating the shit out of the motor i would consider that motor completly reliable..

[93H22ACX]

what is the defination reliable? In racing there isnt such a thing as reliability....

Racing is breaking... breaking is making power.... and i got to go take a big ass shit from these 15 slim jims i just ate

U WAS ON A ROLL BUT THAT LAST PART THAT CAME OUT OF BUMFUC EGYPT WAS UNNECC.

[Shawn]

The answer is simple, IT IS REALIABLE TO MAKE OVER 300 ON A STOCK MOTOR. / THREAD

[Shawn]

and nextelbuddy 326

[Vteckidd]

i just dont think you guys get where im coming from.

Im a BUSINESS, you guys are PRIVATE BUILDERS. on your PERSONAL car you cna do whatever you want, if it blows, thats your problem. but also, ISP an all of them (trihn, etc) have been around an KNOW what it takes , and if it pops, they can deal with it.

When i have guys that come in and dont really know what their motors are capable of, what the mileage is, the overall condition, then its hard for me to say "yeah it can hold 350whp EASY". especially since ive seen alot of them blow up past 300whp.

hell, we pushed a STOCK D16Y8 to 249whp, hows that for aggressive, or Armans GSR to 297whp stock motor.

we get aggressive when the customer asks for it, but like scotty said, its a double edged sword.

You cn be aggressive an get yourself a name for making power, but you can also get a name for "blowing" stuff up. Pick an choose wisely. Im comfrotable with our tuning procedures, and most people arent going to want to push their stock motors past 280whp.

For the OCCASIONAL customer that wants to, then , hey, as i said before, they sign a waiver

[SPOOLIN]

yeah those few people have made 425 and been successful BUT, the general consenses out there, meaning the majority of motors pushed that hard, EXPLODE WHEN THEY GO THAT HIGH.

why would you even let any customer that doesnt know shit about cars boost their motors if they are not in good condition, i believe that if the motor is fine, (ie. compression test, leak down test) hell boost it and make good/reliable numbers. make the most power out if it that you can. there is plenty of stock motors pushing over 300 hp and reliable. i wouldnt say that a motor is not reliable if it is pushing over 300 hp mike. YOU (mainstream) do not recomened you push the motor over 300 hp, because the owner wouldnt know how to drive it none the less maintain it..

we get aggressive when the customer asks for it, but like scotty said, its a double edged sword.

when scotty was tuning my car we hit 250 on 10 psi.. and he said he wanted to stop there. i asked to go up a little more and he hesitated to say yes. we went up to 11 psi and he wanted to stop.. hell i wanted to go to 15 psi on my stock b16.. and if it would of blown that would of sucked, but when you boost a motor you have to be prepared for bad stuff to happen. i beat the shit out of my car on 13 psi with a 11 psi tune.. not to smart i know but i dont think scotty wanted to push the car that much on the dyno. and i understand, hes earning his rep and a blown motor would make him look bad.. on the other hand 300 hp stock b16 would also make him look great. let me know when your ready scotty

lol the funny thing about this comment is the first time i got tuned, i signed a waiver, but the second i didnt.. what does the waiver actually say i never even read it.. but even if my motor would of blown the second time, it would of been totally retarded for anyone to want to sue you guys.. like i said before you have to expect the unexpected.. if it blows shitty, time for bigger and better. if you expect a perfect car that will last forever then your an idiot. imho i think most of the times that a motor blows is beacause the owner is an idiot. most of the times the owner dont know shit about cars and nothing about maintaining a boosted motor.

i'm ready whenever you are...don't forget you'll need to upgrade your map sensor from stock to 2.5bar or 3bar. this is also another reason i didn't want to push it farther because your map ends at 11.xx psi.

i'd be ecstatic to push a stock block/internals as far as everyone has been showing...it's up to the owner and you sound like you're up for it.

regarding the waiver the second time i think i had you re-initial the original one. i save every waiver for every car i tune and it can transfer anytime i tune, but i sometimes get a new one signed or the original intialed each time. in a nutshell the waiver states that we take every precaution and you are aware that your car will be tested under extreme conditions and damage can occur and that you are assuming those risks and not hold us liable. it's similar to bungee jumping or parachuting...you are aware that something may go wrong and SPLAT!

[boostedb16]

ok again what about 8 psi, i'm not looking for 300+ hp but 200-230, i'm not trying to blow it up because i have to drive mine everyday.

thanks was that so hard to answer.

no it wasnt hard...but it was a very STUPID question to answer when the answer to your question you couldve plainly read in this thread...lol. 8psi is NOT anywhere close to the power i was making on a stock gsr(395whp pump gas)...little on peter...425whp.

anyways, its all PERSONAL PREFERENCE. if you want to make the power that a N/A b-series can make on a boosted b-series then more power to you. for me, if i am going boosted then anything under 300whp wont be worth the money i spend on the turbo kit. i could just throw a 100shot direct port on and hit 250whp ... lmao!

AS i said, i can post a/f graphs and timing tables of those cars if you want.

TUNING IS NOT THE PROBLEM. its the stock motor, sorry fellas, hate to burst your bubbles. an if you noticed, they were all B16 motors, you guys are saying GSRs make over 300whp. Show me a b16 that makes over 300whp an has lasted longer than 6 monmths an ill be impressed.

GSRs have thicker ringlands, they can last longer under boost, but i still wouldnt say they are reliable over 300whp, sorry

Scotty is a subcontractor that works for us. Same with Turbo Dave Fabrications. We have a good relationship with both contractors, and they arent going anywhere anytime soon.

As far as my role within MSPi, im shop manager,marketing, parts, PR. Charles is my boss, but as far as ownership, thats between me an our board of directors.

what does that have to do with anytinhg?

Oh i was just wondering becasue in a previous post you said,If i didnt like scotty tunning i would get rid of him.So i was just curious if you had it like that.that was it!!
But i never heard of a board of directors for a repair shop!!
