how much boost
 

would it be safe to run 10 psi on a sotck d16y8 if i gett a good tune and some 550?

Re: how much boost
 

yeah it will be fine on like t25 or a t3 somethin like that. but i wouldnt do it on a t66 or something of that nature :P

DSM 450's will be plenty big enough too, if you wanna save some money. its all about the tune and management, just remeber that.

He's right. I do 10lbs on my y8. It's all in the tune, baby.

would a 14b be good... are there any tunners in the virgina area that tune ubber data?

Re: how much boost
 

14b will make for a good around town powerband. no matter what its gonna start to die off over like 6500rpms. even 8 psi would be decent with it. just get some fuel and timing management.

Re: how much boost
 

should i run any colder plugs wiht that set up i am running

Re: how much boost
 

NGK BK7RE I believe. Anyway, one step colder is fine for normal boost application (stock block, 12psi or less).

I run stock plugs. I also ran up to 12psi on my Y7/Y8 mini me.

Re: how much boost
 

Or stock. ::)

Alot like to run one step colder (7) NGKs. Just personal preferance. I do. David doesn't.

i ran 10psi on my d15 no intercooler, and fmu for 4 weeks total, the last two weeks i had a major oil leak and never put oil back in the bastard.... finally threw a nice hole in the block but that was because i was lazy and didnt care....

Not having a tiny ass turbine housing/wheel strangle the engine so that excess heat can't escape, and not having a tiny ass worthless compressor superheating charge at 5 whp more than the vehicle makes anyway, is a form of engine management. Just because you do it mechanically instead of electronically doesn't mean it isn't every bit as valid.

I vote straight T3. Good match, good power potential, not overly larghe so you can still get quick spool.

Re: how much boost
 

I rock the .42/.48 T3. I also am a boosted y8. It hits full boost by 3700rpm in 3rd gear (which is 10psi). It's a nice street turbo. Eventually you'll want to upgrade, but for the streets I think it's the best bang for the buck. Decent spool and carry you to redline with no problem and when Vtec kicks in it is an unbelievably strong and long powerband. Don't rule out a .48/.60 or BBKA .60/.63. Heck, I see alot (Fook) of 14b's on D-series pulling strong numbers. No less than .42/.48 and go as laggy as you want.
