Because people like to be too safe. 8.8:1 compression on a 1.6L engine......makes sense

D series engines are cheap, get real engine management, i always will suggest Uberdata/Turboedit first, and have fun. No reason to spend ~$1000 and only run 5psi....just doesnt make sense.

BTW i got the same setup too. not sure if u guys can give me soem suggestion on how many psi shoulci ran
D16Z6 t3/04 .48/60, eagle rods and 9.1 srp piston, stock sleeve, vafc, msd btm, dsm450 cc, 225 pump.
really wanted to go 12+ but not sure if it would hold up.

 

sell that hack and msd...buy a 3 bar map sensor. download uberdata and now you'll be talking. i would run 12psi daily atleast.

 

thankx bigwig but i`d stay cheap
sssweet
ghettoturbo how fast did u ran?..

 

uberdata is cheaper than the hack and msd.....general rule of thumb is the stock map sensor can only handle up to 11-12psi, so to boost over that amount you need a map sensor regardless

Lets just run costs:

AFC=$300
MSD= $100(im not really sure)
450cc injectors=$50

Uberdata=Free
Chipburner=$80-100
450's=$50

hmmmmmm which one is cheaper and better?

 

Should probably start a new thread for this... and to think of it I will, but I'm wondering how many ppl are running around using uberdata / crome with success!?

 

really with 450s a fuel pump and a fmu the d16 can handle around 12psi?
