I have a stock d16z6 with ARP head studs and a brand new OEM headgasket and then brand new water pump, timing belt, and tensioner. Ive got a uberdata p28 ecu and im getting tuned on 12 lbs will it hold up alright? Thanks

 

I always read about people running like 12psi. If everything else is in good condition; compression, oil pressure, head, etc. it should as long as you don't get on it like every time you drive, all the time.

 

the most i've seen a stock D take as a daily driver is 230 whp on a mustang dyno

 

BBK is/was running 12lbs on a stock D16Z6 and made 230whp and 208wtq. He also did 12.6sec in the 1/4 mile. How is that for encouragement?

NB: You need the right combination of parts, and GOOD TUNING.

 

^ thank you.

if the turbo is very small, 12 psi isnt that much. if you are running like a huge diesel turbo at 12psi, that is much different.

Even at that BBKA was 12psi on the .63/.60. I'm only 10.5 on the little .42/.48 and nervous.
