My boost controller wasn't working so I took it apart, the check ball wasn't where it was supposed to be so I put it back together and took the car for a rip. 10 psi is insane. Especially since I've been running 5 psi for months now. My HKS SSQV is so much louder at high boost. I wasn't flooring it when it was going to 10 psi so it probably would have gone even higher. I figured my D15 wasn't ready for that, but holy crap is it so much faster. This turbo (T3 48/60) makes about 10 hp per pound of boost when well tuned so... a 50 hp increase is very noticeable. Wow

W O T

might not last to long @ 10 pounds though

Take it easy and watch for creeping like you said

Wait untill you hit 15psi=tire owange

It will handle 15psi on a 4cyl, but I'd bet you will begin to lose efficiency as it gets up there.

Those turbos are stock on older 300zx's that are a v6 engine, and guys typically run them to 12psi or more.

Ah yes.. I remember the first time I ever turned up boost, damn it felt good.




::wait a sec:: on my first setup I never even hooked up my wastegate actuator!

Have you seen the D15(or any OEM Honda) rods? 15psi is scary on those things. I don't suggest 15psi on a stock bottom end, although I've ran that much before(just the other night on accident), but I'm an idiot and I don't care about my motor. :P
