how much boost will max out for d16z6 stock intenal ? if it can't be safely at 7 psi then i guess ill be running Fmu not afc thank

Re:stock D16z6 how many boost is max
 

10psi using stock internals and turboedit to tune my ignition and fuel.

500 miles on the turbo setup and still going =P

Re:stock D16z6 how many boost is max
 

are you using Afc hack or what ?

Re:stock D16z6 how many boost is max
 

Turboedit... It's an ecu program.

Re:stock D16z6 how many boost is max
 

you can run AFC with it at 10 psi....

Re:stock D16z6 how many boost is max
 

The AFC hack is only good till around 12psi and you have to start with 450cc injectors.

The D16Z6 will handle 12 and under very well, but anymore than that and your taking a chance..

8psi would be completey safe and worry free ( more or less ).

Anything less than 6psi is a waste of a turbo IMO.

i thought d sereis rods let go at about 10 psi and above?

Re:stock D16z6 how many boost is max
 

Yes and no... With good tuning no, with no tuning yes..

Re:stock D16z6 how many boost is max
 

yea ive heard numbers around 220 whp being max on d-series internals (mainly rods)...although there have been exceptions *winks at Boosteded9*

AFC hack is only good until 9.25 psi/10.65 psi for OBD0/OBD1+. Sure, you can boost higher, but if you don't know why you shouldn't you don't know how to properly set up an AFC hack to boost that high.

Atlee's Z6 is running 8 psi daily, 12 psi in high setting. We're running Uberdata tuned for a GM 2 bar MAP, should be able to take advantage of the whole 14 psi before the 15G is maxed out.

My stance has always been that the D-series bottom end will take insane amounts of power... it's just that anything over 10 psi starts wearing out the bottom end very quickly. Cruise around at 7-8, pop the high boost setting when it's time for a joyride, and you'll be fine.
