HONDATA S200


My setup is fairly high compression. I purchased a turbo kit off a mate of mine. It's an AVO TURBO KIT. with a highflowed GT28R turbo, manifold, dump pipe, cooler + flexi piping....also have rc 550cc injectors, walbaro fuel pump, AEM fuel press. regulator, greddy type s bov, .....and my car is already running Hondata s200

I was wondering if there is anyway to run a high compression low boost setup for now without me having to change my pistons, rods... i mean, would my setup work safely running lowest boost and a thicker head gasket?

Your help is much appreciated.
Cheers

 

i would say as long as you keep it 6 psi or less, and a good tune you can get away with it

 

that kind of compression and that turbo would make for an awesome street car... only thing i would advise is to get it tuned conservatively and make sure whoever tunes it knows what there doing!!!
