I've put 25,000 mi on my boosted y7 at 6.5psi and an occasional run at 10psi. Its my daily driver and I drive it fairly hard everyday. I say boost it... Mangement is the key. I see these posts about "I just blew my motor with a 15psi spike". I know there are a lot of guys running Crone or Uberdata but do they have a boost cut option like the hondata? I've hit my 11psi boost cut quite a few times while adjusting my boost controller and don't know what psi I would have hit without it.

Ricey you are making 225whp at 8psi.... Care to share your secret??? At 6.5psi I am getting around 165whp/155tq. I've never run it at the track at 6.5psi. At 10psi I've run numerous 14.00 flats.... I've never dyno'd at 10psi though... I know its kind of backasswards.

depends on peripherials, intercooler, tuning, intake, exhaust. go with about 160 to the wheels, so b16 power with alot more torque.

Man, what awful advice, every one of you has told this person a number of psi which has almost nothing to do with anything. Try telling him on what turbo and how much horsepower a D16's rods can handle (230 or so well tuned). He should have searched first anyway.

With good fuel management and tuning 200whp would be pretty safe on most d16's. I have been running 10psi (215whp) for almost 10 months on my stock d16z6 and it has taking a beating and still runs great. I did a compression test the other day and got 190 in all 4 cylinders, the car has 100,320 miles on it. I had turned the boost up to 12psi (230whp) for about a month, but since I have a bad spiking problem and was seeing 14-15psi spikes every time I hit full boost I decided to turn it down. I have only been to the track twice, but my first time on slicks I ran 13.3 @ 102 and my second time at the track on drag radials I ran 13.4 @ 105. This was all at 10 pounds of boost in a full interior coupe. I should have no problem hitting 12's next time I go to the track.

If I were you, i would build it for boost. That way your car would last A LOT longer, rather than going the cheap way, which will last you for only 6 months.

Bad advice. I boosted my D16Z6 23,000 miles ago and it had 142,000 on it at the time. It was from an Si and the kid drove it like an *** so I'm sure it isn't in the best shape.

I have been running 11-13psi from a 50trim T3 for a while just for reference. Uberdata

If your at low boost thats fine but I still wouldnt't do it. Im the type of person that likes things dont RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. If your gonna boost your car - might as well prepare the engine for boost. Im just not cheap that way. But I guess I just have higher goals than you. Anyone can run 8lbs of boost all day with no prob. I have plans for 15-20lbs of boost. If your gonna go turbo, might as well go all the way. </TD></TR></TABLE>

you don't know ****. I've had my stock(except for arp headstuds) 98 ex coupe boosting 10psi since the beginning of the summer with no problems except for blowing a headgasket (probably just need to get my block resurfaced). Second time at the track i ran a 14.1 @100.xx mph.

Oh and ricey you finaly got your car dynoed?

All you guys are going a long way with turbo cuz you are running 6-7-8 psi. Thats why your in the 13's - 14's. But just like I said - I have higher goals.

You must not have read my post. Try more like 10-14psi and low 13's high 12's and this is a full interior ex coupe. I have higher goals also, but it only cost me $1100 for my turbo kit in the first place. I could install some rods/pistons and probably get around 300whp and 11.9 if I wanted to. Do you suggest we all build our motors and go for 9's right away? This is my first turbo car, so I figure I would learn on a cheap engine.

if you have higher goals i am not understanding why your gonna leave the D16 in? why not go with a b20 or hell if your goals are so high go with something in the K series. Hell now days you can get the B20 pretty damn cheap. but if you ever run 10's or 11's on a d series running any kind of turbo you let me know. thanks

Why leave the D16 in? Because I can spend $1,000 for rods/pistons and I could run close to high 11's with my current setup, might have to swap to a bigger turbo. It would cost me a hell of a lot more to swap in a b-series or k-series motor and turbo that to run the same times. Why not a b20? Because the design of the sleeves make them useless for boost. Oh and don't worry I will post up when I run 10's or 11's just for you...

he is acting like he has never seen a turbo D in the 11's or 10's before. There are plenty in the 11's and even a few in the 10's like Zex man. I wish people who didn't know **** would keep their mouths shut.

I would rather have a D16 than the "sleeve-cracker" B20 like you said.

Default Re:

I would say 4psi from a Garrett GT35R would be the most.. But from a T25 probably like 10psi at most.. But then again if you were running an fmu it would be different and if you were running a tunable ems system it would also be different....... Get the idea here..
