Maybe on a Mitsu. My tuner said that if pushed above 260hp, they would be maxed out. At least with my turbo. He said I could go safely to 13lbs on these injectors but not much more. I'm at roughly 10lbs.

. people just like to be cautious. because it would suck to blow your motor because you didnt want to upgrade your injectors and raise the boost some more. i mean theres always that chance of boost creep. after you blow a couple motors you seem to be more cautious. and his tuner probibly doesnt want him coming back blamming him for any reasons. put yourself in the tuners position before you start calling him out.

Maybe he was being conservative. He knows his ---- though. He's tuned alot of LS's and his personal car is a EK with over 400hp LS motor in it.

Re: Finished turbo civic project***Ripper vids update***

Well, i'm back with a update. When I got back from tuning, the tranny took a huge ---- on me. Ground all the teeth off 3rd and broke the bearing off in side the case. I put a spare ls trans in, so it's good again. Then last week, while taking my wife out for her birthday, the timing belt went out. Luckily nothing happened. Belt only had 65k on it. I towed it home and threw another belt on. Good to go. Here's some pics of the tranny.

Re: Finished turbo civic project***Ripper vids update***

dude just a heads up my 92 hatch untuned ran 12.2's on a bone stock ls at 13 psi so you will def be in the deep 12's if not high 11's with that tune you have. car is probably about the same weight or lighter then mine.
