he said it was stock. i run 11 psi every day and drive 100 miles a day to work. i would run about 13 or 14, but i need a clutch so bad, raising the boost would only make it worse. people would be surprised what the stock blocks can handle, you just have to have it tuned good and not be scared.

ive got a stock block b16a1,
polished head b16a2,
and she runs 80miles hard every day, its all about tunning if you can contain x amount of boost and y amount of fuel and ignite it without it pinking or miss fire then whats there to go wrong
now dont go away and wack her up to 30psi and go find that skyline that wanked on you, cos itll blow
use some common sense, but youll be suprised to how much you can run with a HMT set up

projekteg's got bigger ballz than me for running it at 11psi! hah =) But thats because he used to be a "street pharmacist" and has some special grass growing in the back to buy him a new block if it blows on him... hah =) j/k

Like many of the guys have said, its all about tuning and some common sense. If you dont see the other guys boosting theirs to 15psi, you might not want to be the first to try unless 1) you know EXACTLY you are doing 2) you are on a dyno 3) you got so much money that its falling out of your pocket

someone was building that car for ALL MOTOR huh with the 12:1 CR pistons... If you want to turbo it make sure you know what you are doing with that high of a compression ratio or at least someone who knows what the y are doing

i would change to some lower c/r pistons before i boosted it. as hrmmmm, engine serial number scratched out, i wonder why that is..........
