7 lbs. with stock compression?
 
Hay,
B16A turbo planning. If I boost 7lbs. with an intercooler on stock compression will I get to point B every time?
If I put lower compression pistons with the same set up, would I still be boosting 7lbs. or would it drop.
Any help would be great. If you have no help, at least owe me a headlock or somethin'. thanks

you should be fine with stock compression...if you lower it, the boost will be the same but you will get less power from the same amount of boost

I'm a puss when it comes to turning the boost up, and I'll be running 8 on stock internals. (B16)
10 when I'm coming home from the bar.......hehehe...
You'll be fine. (fueling, ignition, permitting...)

I ran 8 psi daily beating the ---- out of it for about 9 months when I had a b16, apparently one day the motor didn't like 14psi and no tune or map sensor for that much boost. Came home with one broken piston ringlands, and still drove it for a month boosting the ---- out of it and puffing/shooting smoke out the exhaust.

I put an LS motor since then and am much happier for cost/power with the LS. Torque is there too, unlike b16.
