just finish this setup for about 6k miles and miss my turbo would this be a good setup to add boost like 6 psi. cause the compression is kind of high.

Compression is a little on the high side. I'd throw some low comp pistons in there and boost 10psi.

TonytheTiger on here is boosting with 11.5:1 pistons a believe... but this was a while back. ITBs boosted sleeper.

 

that means i have to rip my motor apart again to boost. im probably jsut gonna wait if my high compression isn't safe to boost.

 

I as well would not boost with that high of compression.

 

ok thanks guys i guess the boost has to wait

 

im trying to be in the 12's could i just go like 3-4 psi of boost i dont want to rip the motor apart cause i dont have the time and money i already have a turbo kit. i know my compression is high but will i be ok with 3-4 psi am already running 13.4


here is my setup again

3-4 psi isnt even worth it

 

forget about boosting, sell the kit and keep it na

 

yeah i know 3-4 isn't worth it i guess i can sell it and then do some porting and vavle jobs. hopefully that will get me into the 12's anybody know what i can do to be in the 12's that wont cost so much cause i wont get much form my turbo kit.

my car is a 1990 DA full interior. dont want to take my interior out and put it back in. let me know what you guys think.

 

a good suspension, replace all suspension bushings, slicks, light weight rims and a good 60ft time

 

sell your motor and get a B20b, boost the B20b and it will be faster then the built motor you sold.

 

im gonna past on the b20, my bro just purchase me some slick ill try it with slick hopefully that will put me in the 12's...i just sold my turbo kit to this kid for 1100 ill probably invest that into the motor as well, should i replace my type r cams for CTR cams, and put in lsd.

 

yes you can boost on that high of compression, but you would need a rock solid tune, im talking 100% perfect tune, i heard of the local tuner around hear was running something ridiculous like 14:1 on boost, but something happened, like he blew a vacuum hose or something and he leaned out real quick and kaboom, but it had nothing to do with the engine, turbo or tune set up he had it was just something stupid that went wrong, don't remember specifics

 

really im gonna have a talk with my local tuner then see if he had every tune a high comp. turbo before, but this guys does very good tune though. His name is Tom from REVSPEED in fresno.
