Re: safe boost level
Please don't go to your tuner and ask "can you please tune my car for ##psi?"
Tune for hp. 220hp on a good tune and safe for stock rods.
Stock rods aren't good for much more.

Re: safe boost level
Talk to a local tuner about what kind of numbers and tuning needs to be done. Hp numbers really depend on the dyno your on, weather conditions, and sea level. I live in New Orleans. I am way below sea level. So we make higher numbers on a dry cool day. But in the summer time. 95* at 80% humidity sux when your tuning a car. Your tuning will be able to tell you what is looking safe A/F wise but mechanical just depends on the condition of your engine. If it has 0 mile on it and well put together you may get away w/ 12psi. It might pop though. It depends on a lot. Not just D series or B series rod tensil strength. GL

Re: safe boost level
Yo bro dont worry about what people say on here man, people talk **** becasue they can look I had a buddy who ran 15psi daily on a stock d16z6 for two years straight and had no problems at all, and he is still driving the car today, fmu missing link! So if you get a good tune and dont pound on it every single min of driving it, I think even 17psi on a good tune is safe for a sohc engine. Just my two cents.

Re: safe boost level
Oh I forgot he even took it to the track and blasted 19psi on it I forgot what he was running but it was fast, he does have injectors and a fuel pump, which by the way are a must if you plan on keeping your engine for a little bit and plan on tunning.

Re: safe boost level
Once again.....thats what a tuner is there for....i can build a motor, set up an entire turbo kit...but i dont know **** about tuning, maps, blah and blah. And when that time comes, thats when i will go to my tuner and say, "Hey, i need to know what needs to be done to get this set up for you guys, what do i need to know, what do i need to do?"
There the professionals.

Definatly leave that stuff up to the tunner, set goals and numbers get it tuned right. Money can get you what ever you want just get it done properly

Re: safe boost level
psi doesn't mean a damn thing without taking into consideration the size of the turbo. all this talk about oh i ran this much psi, a buddy of mine ran that much psi, just sounds retarded.
it can't buy love and companionship... ok so maybe it can lol.

[QUOTE=D16SiHatch;40402304]did you guys read anything that was posted earlier on in this thread? ^

umm you may be right but if you maybe took a sec and read what this kid asked about how much psi he can run using a hybrid T3/T4 turbo, once again I have seen 4 or 5 stock d series engines hold just fine under 15 psi along with tons of stock b series holding 15 psi mainly ls's. They where all using a ebay t3 or t3t4 turbo. If he gets a good tune with some 680cc precsion injectors and a 255lph fuel pump, He will be perfectly fine@15-17 psi, using that turbo.

Re: safe boost level
as was already said, stay around the 200hp mark or lower unless you want the engine to come apart with the quickness. i could be wrong but i would imagine that much boost from a t3/t4 is going to be pushing the limits of a d-series engine, let alone an old *** b2.
