I just boosted my d16z6 motor and i have arp head studs and a cometic head gasket and i was wondering what the max boost i can run is. or if anyone has a similar setup and what are they runnin. Thanks

 

hey man, with all that I would do no more than 12psi. My buddy haves one 15psi with no problems. Same setup.

 

what's your setup....nobody can help you without knowing something about it

alright ill break this down for you:

1) Do you have any other internally "mods" done to your d16z6 besides the arp and head gasket?

2) Don't go by, "how much boost" or "how many pounds can i run" you need to figure out an actual power goal that you want out of the motor respectively and run enough "boost" to hit that power goal.

3) What turbocharger did you choose?

4) has the vehicle been tuned since you turbocharged it? whats the compression ratio? whats the actual compression of all 4 cylinders? how is the overal condition of the engine (leaking or burning any oil/coolant)

I honestly think its funny that so many people post bolts for mods, such as ARP hardware. I dont really consider it a mod

 

it depends on how long you want it to last.
