longevity d16z6
For questions skip to bottom. Or read everything. Either way works.
History- Bought a 95 ex that was turbo'ed. He said everything right to sell the car. He said it was the original 115k mi motor. I did a compression test before purchase and everything was good. Said he never boosted over 7lbs with 330cc injectors. Was running a fmu but I could change that. I bought it. And don't give me crap about buying an already modified car. I bought it to modify it, it just had a turbo already. Well 2.5 days later, boom.
New Info After Confrontation and Research- Unoriginal 185k mi motor. Never boosted over 7lbs on the street, said it like I should have known, jackass. Who knows what injectors.
WILL NOT BE RUNNING FMU!!!
I plan on buying a low mileage d16z6 to put in temporarily while I am building a forged motor.
So for the questions.
1. If I only run 7lbs with a td04h will the stock 60k mi motor hold up for a while(no fmu, tuned)?
2. What cc injectors should I run? They will be RC injectors.
3. When I get the forged motor finished what turbo should I go with(greddy)? The td04h ran out of juice at 6500 rpm running 7lbs. I want to run about 12-15lbs after build and tune.
If it sound like I am a noob, I am as far as turbos go. I am a career mechanic though.
