Re:I dont want to blow aswell (doh!)
I'm running almost 1 bar or maybe 1 bar in 2nd and 3rd gear.
I shift immediately when it hits 1 bar, cause I don't want to blow it up....small as turbine boost kreeps like a ****.
in first gear it's at 0.5 bar.
well 1 bar feels good though...I don't leave it for long on 1 bar though...I'm getting an external wastegate though...I want to keep it reving to see how much it will boost....And it's on a D15B2
I must be making close or the same as Bobo's power.The CT20 compressor is the same size as the T3's .42 A/R comp I measured it...the turbin is kinda tiny though...begins to boost at 2500 rpm...

dude at least chip your ecu if you want it to last at that boost level, a fmu is just plain crap as far as fuel management. it shouldnt even count as fuel management, just a way of dumping in so much fuel that you dont run lean.
like whitey said i know a few guys that have blow their engines when boosting in 4th or 5th for long periods, like racing for a long amount of time or trying to see top speed. your gonna burn valves or even melt pistons if you do that alot.

Anyhow.. I try not to keep it floored at 9psi for extended period of time... and in 1/2/3 gear I nget as much as 8psi after 6krpm (actually only in 3rd and 4th.. as in 1st and 2nd I get upto 7psi). So it's not such a big deal..
... unless I keep it floored in 5th
Oh.. yes.. civic really has aerodynamics of a brick... when u hit ~130mph it's almost like you hit a wall
haven't really tried to to ga faster.. as it reaches that speed fairly quick.. but afterwards it's major slowdon.. and don't like to keep it floored for extended period of time..
