what kinda times will i expect to get at 5psi boost?

DragII

5psi? you will be in 15s most likely...high ones at that...what kit are you looking at, and why so little boost? you should do at least 7psi.

MetalKill

i wanna get the greddy kit with he FMI..and do you think that motor will handle 7psi?

EVIL Hx Coupe

I've heard of people running 7psi on DX motors and it doesn't do anybad to their motor. Maybe low 15's @ 7psi.

MetalKill

well i wanted to make it an ex so really the motor will be an ex.. but i dunno if it'll handle that kinda boost? you thin?

Wahski

I heard that Honda blocks can handle 7-8 psi without modification, at least this is true for the B-Series. I'm pretty sure D-Series can do the same.

MetalKill

yeah i dunno i was told 5psi was the limit i might be wrong i dunno

MetalKill

someone told me i could run low 14's with 5psi are they stupid or is it possible?

HENRY

I run 7.5 psi on my d16y8 intercooled with the Greddy and have no detonation whatsoever. 8 psi is the highest I've heard you should go untuned on a stock d-series.

MetalKill

so what kinda 1/4 times you running?

hope you will make better 1/4 mile then high 15 !!!! i do 15,9@89,5 with a D15B vtec 123 HP !!! and you would make i think, like at 4-5 PSI, some 170-180 HP (NOT WHP) if you have 125HP now (stock) witch will bring you 14.98 PROX. on the 1/4 if waight is about 2470 LBS and 170 flywheelHP !!

boosting over 5PSI would not be the way !! with out serius engine changes !!
and on a turbo or supercharged CAr with stock engine never try for top speed !!
you WILL fry the engine !!

hopes this help some !!

we did a custom turbo kit with a supra turbo on a 98 civic DX a couple yrs ago and it did a 13.8 on slicks.
Bone stock motor and everything else.
I believe it was doing 7lbs at the time.

f### thats fast !!! what was the HP ?!?! WHP ??

Tuning, tuning, tuning!! Ive heard many impressive results from turbocharged D16's upping boost up to 10-12psi on stock internals, but proper fuel management and tuning is the key element in all these equations. DO NOT try to slap the turbo kit on as is, and just up the boost.

guy has a d15 vtec mini me..turbo at 8psi..homemade kit...13.5 on slicks( i think)..

MetalKill

damn 13's with a sohc non vtec turbo holy **** thats fast what kinda fuel tuning did you do

DragII

7psi is just fine...9 is max w/ out extensive tuning.

All Motor EG

id say 15's for sure. depends. what track/climate/driver/elevation

JaeOne3345

faster then that
mini me..high compression..with like 8psi,,race gas..only run that high track only on 15 rods..slicks
pretty quick
