can i run my d16z6 at 3 psi stock??
« on: Today at 02:11:57 PM »

i got a d16z6 sohc vtec with just skunk 2 cams in it...besides da intake and headers that dont matter because im going to install a turbo this week. i also got full exhaust piping in it.... str8 pipe.

i was wondering if i can run my turbo at 3-4psi meanwhile i find some 450cc injectors and a walbro 255 fuel pump.
Huh?/

if anybody is selling 450cc injectors and a walbro 255 fuel pump get at me fasssst!! and with a price
ps. i will only be boostin 3-4 psi mean while i get a hold of the injectors and pump then i will be chipping my p28 and street tuning my civic

why dont you just wait till you get the injectors and pump. if your turbo is internally gated then i dont think you can only run 3 psi the lowest you can boost on an internally gated turbo is what the wasegate is. and if it is extrenaly wastegated then why would you even bother buying a 3psii spring just to up the boost later

no well see i want to get the turbo in already so i dont have to deal with that later and because the buddy of mine that is going to help is only off 1nce a week and thats why i im going to install it the week and also becuase i wont be able to buy the injectors right now because i got 4 speeding tcikets to pay off... 150 each.

and to lower my boost to like 3 psi i also am going to pick up a manual boost controller when igo pick up my turbo kit on monday.

ok well a manual boost controller cant make a lower the boost of the wastegate from what it is set at it can only raise it. to lower it you need a external waste gate or a newspring for your external wastegate becuase4 as far as i know there is no turbo that is internally gated at 3psi

1st: stop speeding so much. I get speeding tickets too sometimes, but if you got 4 in the time it takes to pay one off, youre not learning your lesson.
2nd: you cant turn the boost down with a boost controller, only up.
3rd: just unhook the wg actuator so the flapper stays open and you dont boost at all

which will let your turbo keep trying to make boost and might kill it over time

dude yeah i can lower the boost with the turbo xs standard manual controller.

the turbo automatically sets itself at 5-8 psi, installing the controller i have the option to lower it or boost it up more.
