I got a turbo kit but i don't know how much boost i can put on it help please.

call the place that you purchased it from and see what they say, they would be the best to give you a correct answer

I would be careful with anything more than 7 psi with a stock engine that has stock compression.

turbo kits dont come with everything u need to put a turbo onto ur car. but if all u want is a turbo i wont go over 6 lbs because ur compression ratio is too high

You might go to the website ACURAZINE.COM, and snoop around. Bet you'll find threads discussing your very question. There are enough experienced & savvy people there who can provide you with sage advice. Another site to check out is KMS Engineering...they're specialists in Honda/Acura engine performance products. Particularly check out their engine deck guards, a part to consider whenever installing forced induction to a stock Honda/Acura motor.Various Honda/Acura motors are of an 'open deck' design...the space at the top of the block (where the head bolts onto) is hollow. This limits the stregnth of the design & how much forced induction boost you can safely apply. I know this applies to the V6 (J Series) motors, and may/may not also apply to other 4 cylinder designs. Anyway, it's at this place that KMS Engineering may have the product to help protect your motor while allowing the highest level of boost possible.

you can go for 8lbs...but i wouldn't risk anything higher than that

This website says 8 PSI on stock motor/stock internals. Id just go with that.http://www.turbokits.com/integra_turbo_kits.html

well its probably internally gated and already set for you. i dont imagine they would sell a kit without some sort of boost control. but 8psi is the usual. iv seen the b18a1's go on 12 psi for a pretty long time.. but you need to have it proffesionally tuned.. get an itr trans and you'll have way more fun with it...
