Just need some help..I have a b16a2 in my si, with endyne pistons, eagle rods, rev valvetrain, act 6puck, arp studs, new bearings , 450 injectors, holley inline fuel pump, Skunk2 cam gears, and lightened pulleys throughout, and lightened flywheel, crowler turbo cam,and Vortech Supercharger waftercooler, 3' str8 through to exhaust. no cat or resonator ...had it machined...pp, decked, bb, crank knifed and polished. I ran out of money doing it all, and want to know how long I will be good without tunning. Boost is around 8-9 psi. Please advise on what else needs to be done i.e added or removed. Whats safe and not. Thank You for your time and Patience....

Just dont boost.

You're right foot is your boost controller.

Don't boost on it. I'd leave the belt off of the SC until you get it tuned. It only takes a few seconds to ruin your motor (and I'd know, I've blown up mine up more than once)

So I cant boost at all? shitty....all the money spent on this and still cant boost...well with this setup, when i get it tuned will it hold ok....did i build it all up enough?

What do you mean by lightened pulleys? Did you change the size of them? You wont boost as much with underdrive pulleys, if thats what you have. Your motor sounds strong enough to handle much boost.

skunk2 aftermarket pulleys for my car lighter....revs quicker i think....my car revs like a motorcycle.....anyways....hate that i spent the money building a motor up....and still cant boost

I wouldn't run it at all. Even with the FMU I cracked 3 ringlands on a Vortech in less than 2 months at that boost level. Get Crome/Uberdata.

Is crhome and uberdata anygood.....or should i just save to get hondata......and would it really crack the ringlands even if it is an after market piston....
