Default Is my setup safe for my engine?

I am planning on running a D16a6 with a Y8 Head and manifold, IHI RHB5 turbo internally wastegated at 8 psi, 450cc injectors, FMIC, Ghettodyne w/ a custom binary file to run the 450cc injectors and retard the timing in boost. The binary file is set up very well to run the 450's and modify fuel and spark under boost. Do you think this is a safe setup for the high compression my mini me will be putting out? I am using stock pistons and rods in my d16a6.

hell yeah man , i think you will be just fine, because you still wont have as much compression as like say a b series vtec.. right? i think it will be ok with some fine tuning

make sure you tune your "custom binary file" or at least put a WB on there and make sure you aren't too far off.

ndogg is right- id suggest a wideband too to keep a real good eye on things. if u experience detonation or running lean, go back and do some program editing.

yes it will be safe as long as it gets tuned for a conservative amount of power
