I am new to the turbo D series realm and am going to pick up my engine next week. I am curious to know what I can make reliably for horsepower once the engine is tuned with hondata. To start with I will be using a Vafc.
Here are the specs:

d16z6
ARP head studs
steel headgasket
eagle rods
JE pistons
All new OEM bearings
Cast DRAG manifold
T3
FMIC
Venom fuel rail
750cc injectors
FPR
stage 4 clutch
38mm wastegate

The motor was being tuned and on the first pull the clutch gaveway but the car made 258 whp and 248tq at 4200rpms on 13psi.

What can I safely run for boost on this setup with an AFC tune? And how about hondata on the dyno?
Just curious what I am getting myself into here... I may run a race gas map, what would be safe for 93 octane, and what numbers could I get out of this engine tuned for c16 with hondata?
thanks

we need more info, mainly the AR and trim of the turbo, DP size, exh size, IC piping size, etc.

why tune it twice. hondata is only 175 dollars, vafc isnt a very good tuning solution. how are u tuning for ignition?

first thing you need to learn, dont ever put vafc, power, and reliability in the same sentence.
