Default Boosting a stock LS

I have been searching around and haven't figured anything out about this but my question is can I run 6psi of boost from a t3/t4 on my 2001 Acura Integra LS safely without a new fuel pump, injectors, tuning, etc? I mean I know anything after that its defiantly necessary but can i get away with it until I get the money for hondata and what not?

I wouldn't, not with a stock fuel setup. You are just asking for trouble.

Sure, you "can" do it. But don't expect positive results.

can you - yes

should you- no, You should always upgrade your fuel system and ALWAYS get it tuned. As long as you don't beat on it all the time you should be fine, but eventaully without a tune will cause issues because it will be running too lean.

why dont you wait until you have the money and do it all at once? why are people so impatient, but eager to **** something up at the same time?

Don't do it. Just wait and do it right. Save your money and protect your investment.

1 pound of positive pressure can pop your engine if not tuned. if you have no fuel upgrades you will max your injectors, run lean as fuc$ and destroy your pistons. not to mention detonation and over heating.
your call

been there,done that.didnt even last a year..

good luck salvaging the motor after it blows..


it was just a toy to us,maybe youre doing the same thing.

use a t28(or a smaller turbo) youll get better results boosting that low of psi.

if you dont beat the hell out of it due to having way too much fun,it might be ok.Our's was at the track everyday,so it was getting beat pretty good lol.
