It doesnt matter how much PSI you are running, it is the amount of HP that determines how much you can go without blowing **** up

Like lets say my car on stock internals can handle 200hp. Whether my turbo needs 5psi or 15psi its all good, as long as its only 200hp and no more, my engine will be safe. true or not?

 

I'd worry more about detonation than WHP and/or PSI. A detonating 200 WHP setup might or might not outlast a 600 WHP stock sleeve-build; as always - "it depends". In any case, the quality of the tuning of the engine management system has a profound effect on how long your build will last.

generally, yes.
like Oyvind said, there are added factors, like the tune.

If you have a safe tune, then it wouldn't matter how many psi it took to get to 200 whp.

Hope that clears it up.

what you said matters, but turbo effiency also plays a role. at some point turbo will go past efficiency range run hotter and lead to detonation. that normally won't happen cause just about every honda setup runs oversized turbo..

 

I have another question regarding boost PSI: why the hell do we get 2+ questions about it each week???

Theres more info than anyone could ever want in the archives, all it takes is 5 mins to find a thread with 20+ posts to learn about it.

 

k so heres the situation

I have a d17.

The t3/t4 has shown to put out 160whp @ 5psi safely

I have a t3 super60 and someone said he got 160whp@8psi

My question is can I run my super60 @ 8psi safely or do I have to run it at 5psi

Not on a D-series...

 

a d can make 300 but not easily as a B.

As long as u take into consideration of the limitations of the turbo, and other things, its safe to say u can say a certian HP is safe, aslong as everything else is up to snuff for the job.

 

Comon knowlage says that D-series is safe to about 200hp while B's do about 300. From what I have seen on the internet D series has weak rods.
