I'm just finishing a D16Y8 turbo project in an Acura 1.6 EL

Stock internals
T3/To4e .48 exhaust, .50 compressor internal gate
Talon 450cc injectors
AFC Hack
Tech Edge Wideband tuned to 11.5 a/f ratio (safe) on 94 octane
2 heat range colder plugs
2.5 inch exhaust, DP, and cat
Water to Air IC

Thats about it, I want to run 9 psi, is that pushing it?

Comments concerns recommendations please!

 

low 14's high 13's

 

Depends on the driver and the weather....Are you going to getting slicks? If so in tip top conditions you should be getting about mid 13's.....

 

Not times, I'm asking am I pushing the engine to hard a 9 psi??

 

Anyone else?

 

11.5? i thought my low 12's was on the safe side

 

9 lbs. would be on the high side but you can do it (assuming factory bottom), I'd probably start at 7 though.

edit: just noticed your going to tune, hell yeah, run 9!
