Default cr on d16y7-need2lower?

what's the cr on 2000 d16y7? will i need to lower it when i install my turbo, or is it already at a boost friendly level? looking at less than 10 psi...probably somewhere near 8 psi.

Its already at a pretty decent level, I belive its in the mid 9's or so. I wouldnt take any drastic measures to lower it. lots of guys run turbos on stock gsr's/b16a's with over 10.1 c/r.

You will need to get a good fuel managment setup..

read through the forum for some ideas.

Default Re:cr on d16y7-need2lower?

here's my set up pre install:

td04 from 02 wrx
mitsu bov (probably get something else)
starion fmic or daytona fmic
(leaning toward daytona-better fitment/routing)
dsm 450cc
safc
civic precat manifold
going to use 2.25 charge pipes

when should boost start and hit full boost?
should i also add higher flow/pressure intank fuel pump?
should i even bother getting an af gauge-a lot of folks say they aren't worth having.
i'm probably a month or so off before i'm boosting.

I doubt any of us here will be able to tell you EXACTLY when you will hit boost, it varys.. exhaust size, and other engine mods, and especially wastegate settings. The turbo is pretty small, and I wouldnt worry about it NOT spooling up, it should spool relatively fast.

Not unless you plan on boosting over 10psi

I would definatly get one, especially if you dont plan on dyno tunning your car.
