I'm getting ready to turbo my 91 d16a6 hb w/forged rods and pistons how much psi can my block handle.

 

25+ PSI

 

Not on stock sleeves you can't

 

I dont know how true this is but i've been told that with stock internals you can boost a d16 to 10psi and run about 210hp before you have to worry about it blowing up.

 

*sarcasm*

 

once having a D16A6 and turboing it with fuel management and what not, i do not recommend more then 7 psi on stock internals, but as you said, you have forged rods so it should hold more, but any engine is a dead engine without proper tuning and management

 

you don't recommend more than 7 psi? rofl!! http://www.homemadeturbo.com go to the forums and ask around.. ppl run 12 PSI on stock internals SAFELY for like 1-3 years. with your setup and proper fuel and timing you should be able to do 15-18 psi safely

 

yes thank you, i am on thoes boards too, and most guys run 7 - 10 psi, and look at the blown motors section, thoes were all factory internals running more then 8 psi, you never turboed a honda did you? have you ever even made a HMT setup? i doubt it, because anybody that has, knows a honda motor wont survive long on 18 psi with stock internals.

Id have to agree with Honda_guy...Im gonna turbo my d16 on stock internals, and the max im gonna run it is 8 lbs...

 

How much hp will it push at 8pounds?

 

id say 155-165 at the wheels

 

so how much boost can a d16a6 hold with forged pistons and rods but STOCK sleeves? as was the original question. cuz i wanna know too. with good tuning? with 450cc injectors and a vafc? with no tuning at all?

 

consider asking that in turbo section, most bench racers here do not have personal experience and just propagate rumours.

i run 10-11 on mine all the time, but get much closer to 14psi and you're just peeing on the electric fence. sooner than later its gonna let go.

 

um what are you talking about i said 15-18 psi with HIS set-up.. now look at his first post... forged pistons and rods. and yes my HMT project is done.. RHB5 turbo, DSM SMIC, 1G DSM BOV, V-AFC, DSM 450cc injectors... you need to know more?
