My 1999 GS has a B18B1 boosted with 84000 miles on it

My turbo is currently pushing five pounds of boost and I just want some opinions on how far I could SAFELY push my boost pressure to. I just bought my Integra a few months ago so I dont know all of what mods have been done and what brand all the parts are. I do know that the turbo itself is a garett, the headers are BmC I think the wastegate is a TIAL but Im not posotive. It is intercooled and does have a blow off valve, But regretably I have no clue who made them. Other than that I think the engine is stock, except for my ECU which has a conversion harness on by the looks of things. There are pictures of my engine and ECU below. Any input would be great. thanks.

 

You don't have a header anymore...

Is the car lime green ...

I would do 9-10lbs, BUT, I would prob do a leakdown or compression test, I don't care what anybody says, I HAVE to do one or the other...

if so, props to him for color matching the engine bay.
If maybe be ugly, but atleast everything is one color

p.s. get a dump tube

 

Not really ragging on his car, I don't like the color much, if he does, more power to him, it's his and I'm not telling him to change it...

 

Yes my car is lime green

Are you gonna up your boost???

 

yes I was planning to. I just wanted some opinions on how high I could go with out my engine blowing up. So now I just want a few more people to say around 10 lbs is good and up to 10 it will go

 

Well if you don't get responses right away b/c I know you do, I will bump this thread for you...

 

I also love the black housing looking headlights... (are they black housing or what did you do)

Saw a thread earlier (don't remember where) he had them too...

 

i don't know much about boost. But i would double check your compression. Also paint the valve cover, it would be a nice touch.

 

Im not shure becaue I didnt do the mods to the lights but I think they were bought off ebay. just shearch for Integra headlights and there are quite a few that look exactaly like mine

Also this is my last post I can post today due to my trial status so if I dont awnser anyones questions sorry, but I cant

Will do, get a compression tester and give us your results...

 

bump, i actually like the car(color) for some odd reason. But i'd say no higher than 10psi, and like Project95LS-VTEC said do a comp check, or leakdown. Better to be safe than sorry. good luck.
