Default I dont want to blow (updated with DYNO )

ok guys I have ignitieted my car yesterday with the new setup

D15z6 stock 110K miles
Thicker head gasket ( lower compression ) but dont know how much..
Big T3 turbo
450cc blue tops
BIg FMI
FMU Unichip Dastek
Big charge pipes
Downpipe + entire exhaust is 2.5 INCH
After first testes
I have pressure at only 4000RPM
And i can not set less than 13-14PSI on the wastegate.

DO you think the engine will hold that?
---- I hope this week-end will not Bring me a Blown Engine

what kind of wastegate? internal that came with the turbo? if so, just shorten the rod by bending it and this will lower the psi. no, i wouldn't run 13-14 psi with an fmu at all, i wouldn't run over 8 with an fmu.

actually you have to lengthen the rod to lower the psi

I made the mistake of bending the wastegate open, and it sucked, the car took forever to spool up because the wastegate is always open. -Ben

....sorry Bobo. Too late 4 that topic. I've just blown your engine 10minutes ago.

DAMN!! it was really fast at 18psi!!!


...hehe just joking, honda is fine, it's staing on the dyno, waiting 4 a new fuel pomp, coz it's running poor over 4500 at 13psi.

..but don't worry!!

our garage monk is praing 4 your pistons and rods.



BTW: Hi guys!
