B16 Turbo?

Prophecy · 08-04-2007

Alright, so I have a b16a2, the engine was rebuilt about 23k miles ago.
Nothing performance, the engine was just replaced with stock parts.

What I'm asking is, would it be safe to turbo it now?

And if so, which turbo would be my best bet?

Thanks.

What was rebuilt? The block, head, or both? I'd assume you can turbo the car at any mileage granted the motor is healthy meaning the compression in your cylinders are to spec.

Would the turbo still run okay on a b16 because of the high compression?

Yes you can turbo any car you just need to run high octane and keep the boost to under 10psi until you get low compression pistons. If you have a good engine management system you can always retard the ignition timing so you don't detonate.
