Still havent decided whether I want to daily drive my setup or not, so I thought I would ask. What would be a safe hp level to daily drive a stock obd1 b16 with walbro pump, golden eagle fuel rail, aero fpr. I am purchasing a gen III drag turbo kit with t3/t04e 50 trimm turbo. So I was told 320whp is safe on the block but not for daily driving, so what would be safe for daily driving? Thanks

 

i drove my gsr making 378whp everyday and raced it every weekend.

 

i always wonder who makes statements like: 320whp is safe for the engine but not for DD

that just sounds so odd

 

Ok so it is sfae for DD?

 

i had a built ls make 419whp dd and raced after work and on weekends no problems

and the people that tell u 320 hp is safe on block and not dd are people that dont know **** and trying to act like they what there talking about know btw i know a k20 guy that made 800+hp and he dd

 

Not if you're thinking of the internals themselves. driving habits aside.

 

My DD habits are mild. I baby my stuff

 

Just get a proper tune and you will be alright. Daily drove my gsr turbo and my h2b turbo with no problems

 

160whp thats where the safety is lol

 

10000000

 

omg

it doesnt matter what hp you have!
as long as the motor is tuned and built right to withstand the power than you can dd it all day, how long will it last? know one knows! it can last a weak if you dont maintain it right and beat the crap out of it!
second the choice of clutch will play a big roll in your daily driver! use a full race 6 puck clutch and your leg is gonna kill you for it! use a more street freindly clutch like a exedy stg 1-2 and driving your car will be much easier.
third anything past 400hp and your gonna have major traction issues unless you adress them. use a lsd, stickier tires, better axles and suspention to help that.
imo on a stock motor u should boost around 7-10psi and keep the hp around 300hp, thats a good power level for a street car.

 

*BUMP*
for using a GE fuel rail!

"VEGETA WHAT DOES THE SCANNER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVELS?, ITS OVER 9000!!!!!"


just the b16 block stock internals? for comparison, i was told my d16y8 can handle over 300 with some vitara pistons and upgraded rods, stock sleeves, then again d16y8 is not as great as the b16 motor xP

 

drag kit, might not even make 320whp!!

jk, just take it to a good tuner and drive it
