hey guys i had a quick question, i was wondering can a b18c or c5 hold 10psi on a stock bottom end? how about a b16 can it hold 10psi on a stock bottom? i wanted to know because a shop owner told me that 8-9 is ok but once it hits 10 it will probably detonate and blow/knock, but other guys are saying that 10+is possible on stock bottom end... thanks for ur help

Seriously, you have a whole lot of research to do.

 

its all in the tune

 

PSI means different things for different turbos....power kills...keep it under 350whp if you want it to last for any real amount of time

 

have an expert tune and don't expect the motor to have the same life span as it would under stock conditions. done properly though, will be fun

 

10psi of what? squirrel farts?? turbocharger size/piping/engine condition/ so many things come into play stock bottom end for reliability keep it under 250whp

Bawaaaaaaha ok thats good.

But seriousy PSI means nothing, and tell that shop owner that he is a ******* moron and stock bottom ends can handle 3-350whp with out any problem
