im a noob when it comes to f.i., anyways...

:::edit:::

 

you can if you have a great tunner.... I dont see why 7psi would do any damage unless you have a shioty tune

 

but why is it that people who go boost, usually go with lower compression? Are Those internals strong enough?

 

I have a friend who made over 400whp on a stock ITR motor and it was fine

 

how long has the car been running? daily driver? i drive my car hard 51% of the time.

 

car has been running for about 3+ years now.... he doesnt keep it at that level but most of the time its around 300 and he beats it like a redheaded stepchild

 

damn sounds good. Then why have i seen alooooooooooot of gsr blow up after 1yr or so on 9psi? (stock internals)

 

because most of the time motors wherent taken care of or the tunning wasnt that great... thats why I always say make sure you have a good tune and take care of your shiot

 

ok cool , any other opinions?????????

 

93 or 94 octone + water inejction

or race gas

Basicly the higher compression will make it easier for the motor to knock. So what nickromeo is suggesting are ways to make the motor more resistant to knock. The highest octane fuel you can afford and water injection is a great idea. I would also suggest a good intercooler, especially if you don't do water injection.

water injection is alittle bot much for what he wants..... you will need rce gas to make around 400 though.....

 

well here 93 is pump gas...is water injection really necessary, or can i do soemthing else?

 

no you do not need water injection

 

maybe just some octane boost?

 

get tunned on 93 and race gas if you can

 

more feedback please

 

its going to be fun at 5 to 8lbs

go for it but dont do it unless you are going to tune it otherwise its a waste

 

i will definately get it tuned. The day i put the kit in is the day it will get tuned

 

[starsky voice] DO IT..... DO IT [/starsky voice]

 

you guys make it hard to say no, lol. :::::thinking::::

 

i would lower the compression if i were u, better safe than sorry, my itr motor has 11:1 compression and i used a cometic hg, in case u really wanna keep that compression at least get the ARPīs.

 

yea i was thinking about doubling the head gasket...i already have arp head studs..i was thinking of slapping in arp rod bolts as well..if the head is coming off to put the new headgasket

 

i wouldnt boost that high of compression, i would get a cometic headgasket and lower the compression to make it as safe as possible, but if you want to run that high of compression good fuel management is needed along with a great tuner
