Ok so i have read many times that its not psi that will blow the motor but how much whp. I understand that d series max out at around 225whp or so..........my question is this since my y7 obviously isnt a vtec can you just keep turning up the boost till i reach 200whp which is my goal and just sstop there......on a good tune of course. I know turbo size and everything plays a factor but i was just wondering?

 

You can make 200 whp on a stock y7 engine without being in danger of damaging the engine if it is properly tuned.

 

thats what i was wondering but my concern is i see alot off ppl running turbos at about 8psi makeing like 180whp so i was just worried about turning the boost up to make it to 200whp. I know different size turbos and setups effect this kind of thing and that 8 psi on a dsm turbo and on like a super 60 is totally different. I just dont want to blow my motor thats all

 

to me, its more about the torque level not so much horse power.

i wouldnt push much more than 200ftlb on stock d series rods.

 

that all i really want 200 whp and 180ftlb tq would be fine something like that whatever. i just know that i will have to run more boost to achieve this since i dont have vtec. so its ok to run a higher boost level as long as i dont go past 200whp/200tq

 

it should hold together if its tuned well and you dont spin it too high.

 

spin it too high?? u mean the turbo? i will prolly get like a garret super 60 so it should suffice for my goals and then some

 

anyone got any input

 

He means rpm. Don't rev the **** out of it. 200 is a good safe number.
