i was wondering what the safest boost level would be for a stock d15b2 with a t3/t4 and a good tuning

civic_ferio

5-7 psi to be safe

masterEF

would i be pushing it if i put 10 psi?

probably, even on a good tune

It's all in the tuning.

Get a good tune and be on your way.

Please don't go to your tuner and ask "can you please tune my car for ##psi?"
Tune for hp. 220hp on a good tune and safe for stock rods.
Stock rods aren't good for much more.

I boosted at 13 psi for two years on a mini me convo. I was running mid 12's, consistantly.

you want a safe boost level? 0 psi, because you probably have ZERO knowledge of what "tuning" is.

Talk to a local tuner about what kind of numbers and tuning needs to be done. Hp numbers really depend on the dyno your on, weather conditions, and sea level. I live in New Orleans. I am way below sea level. So we make higher numbers on a dry cool day. But in the summer time. 95* at 80% humidity sux when your tuning a car. Your tuning will be able to tell you what is looking safe A/F wise but mechanical just depends on the condition of your engine. If it has 0 mile on it and well put together you may get away w/ 12psi. It might pop though. It depends on a lot. Not just D series or B series rod tensil strength. GL

Isnt that what a tuner is for?

so does it mean that just because there is a tuner, you shouldn't have any understanding of what is being done?

Once again.....thats what a tuner is there for....i can build a motor, set up an entire turbo kit...but i dont know **** about tuning, maps, blah and blah. And when that time comes, thats when i will go to my tuner and say, "Hey, i need to know what needs to be done to get this set up for you guys, what do i need to know, what do i need to do?"

There the professionals.

xx2 i dont kno **** bout tuning thats there job im not paying them a **** load for me to do half the work ...i need it done im think 10 is safe though i kno i got a boy who pushed his 2 16psi wit no tune...it didnt last long but it held for a couple races lol

Yo bro dont worry about what people say on here man, people talk **** becasue they can look I had a buddy who ran 15psi daily on a stock d16z6 for two years straight and had no problems at all, and he is still driving the car today, fmu missing link! So if you get a good tune and dont pound on it every single min of driving it, I think even 17psi on a good tune is safe for a sohc engine. Just my two cents.

oneslowstd

Oh I forgot he even took it to the track and blasted 19psi on it I forgot what he was running but it was fast, he does have injectors and a fuel pump, which by the way are a must if you plan on keeping your engine for a little bit and plan on tunning.

bigblockh22

Definatly leave that stuff up to the tunner, set goals and numbers get it tuned right. Money can get you what ever you want just get it done properly

did you guys read anything that was posted earlier on in this thread? ^

psi doesn't mean a damn thing without taking into consideration the size of the turbo. all this talk about oh i ran this much psi, a buddy of mine ran that much psi, just sounds retarded.

it can't buy love and companionship... ok so maybe it can lol.

killercrx91

He's right about that this take it to an shop and they should know. But I I think 5 or 4 would be good because if you what it to last for an long time. Like it's not that much HP but it's something... Well good luck.

wow at all the misinformation on this thread there are about 3-5 people that know what they are saying on this thread and if you cant figure them out then you guys are sad.

umm you may be right but if you maybe took a sec and read what this kid asked about how much psi he can run using a hybrid T3/T4 turbo, once again I have seen 4 or 5 stock d series engines hold just fine under 15 psi along with tons of stock b series holding 15 psi mainly ls's. They where all using a ebay t3 or t3t4 turbo. If he gets a good tune with some 680cc precsion injectors and a 255lph fuel pump, He will be perfectly fine@15-17 psi, using that turbo.

D16SiHatch

if he runs that much boost through a stock b2 he better have jesus as his tuner

as was already said, stay around the 200hp mark or lower unless you want the engine to come apart with the quickness. i could be wrong but i would imagine that much boost from a t3/t4 is going to be pushing the limits of a d-series engine, let alone an old *** b2.

You need to get an ****ing life... ****. You know that there is an world out there then this goin on to honda-tech everyday.

That was a good post.

Tuning is the key when boosted.

I answered his question, he asked is 10 psi pushing it?

My answered was get a good tune.
