well i have a fully built d16z6

block:
9.1 compression pistons
scat rods
darton sleeves

cylinder head:
1 mm larger intake valves
polish swirl intake valves
crower valve springs
crower retainers
crower cams
port and polish head
port and polish intake manifold
rpm 68mm throttle body
aem cam gear
arp headstuds
stock headgasket

my current turbo set up:
equal length manifold
gt28rs .82ar
2.5inch ic piping
drag intercooler
750cc injectors
3in downpipe and exhaust

well to get to my point, i'd like to be running 14-15psi daily. would it be safe? i like to get on it sometimes, but running that high would it be much easier for me to blow a headgasket if ran daily? what should i look out for if im running that much for daily? or should i just stick with 10.

AbitAvenger

with a good tune i dont see why not

I run my b16 built daily turn off the boost controller and the waste gate spring is 15 psi for about 8 months.

SOHC_MShue

you can run way more than 15psi on that setup if its tuned properly.

tannerLSt

yeah you can easily run a little more than that with PROPER tuning

LilCivic04

well i know i can run more, but for daily would it be ideal for 15psi

Your engine doesn't care what psi it's seeing. Cylinder pressures will determine if your headgasket fails. Too much pressure at the wrong time will take out a built motor, weather its 5 psi or 25 psi. Of all the things you mentioned, you forgot the most critical thing to determine your answer - engine management. You will max out the compressor on that turbocharger before you run into an unsafe power level with a proper tune.

LilCivic04

engine management is not a problem. i will have it profressionally tuned with 750cc injectors adjustable fpr and hondata. it will be dyno tuned

yeah, i've seen those dyno graphs

Schister66

you have ARP headstuds, but i'd still get rid of that stock HG if its not metal.....thats just me.....

LilCivic04

stock hg is metal, oem is best. i tried cometic and it blew the first 2500 miles
