Raising the boost
 

Right now Im running 6psi (.4 bar) on my rebuilt to stock spec D16A6. Im currently running TurboEdit tuned by Chris (Xeno). I was contemplating on raising the boost but I had a few questions, I would appreciate it if you noggs would chime in. Also I would definately get re-tuned after the added boost.

-If my 91' stock MAP sensor only reads up to 9.5psi which MAP sensor should I use?

-What is the maximum amount of boost I can achieve with a good tune? (I was thinking of 12psi maybe 15psi)

-Is there anything else I would need to get to raise the boost?

Oh yeah, I have ARP headstuds installed and turbo is T3 .42/.48
It was reccomended that I use a Dual Stage Boost Controller to use the Max boost when at the track or when its necessary.
If you need more info LMK, Id appreciate the input, Thanks.

my stock CRX map sensor reads 11.5, yours should too

This is a response I was viewing from the link above



Stock Honduh MAP sensor can at no time read as much boost as you claim. Honduh MAP 85-91 reads 9.25 psi, 92-until reads 10.65 psi. Hyundaidata claims 11.3, when questioned Dougie said they read all over the place, but all I've seen is a consistent 10.6x psi limit.

Lets compond the situation and bring into discussion quality control and calibration.... stock Honduh MAP sensors are pretty well calibrated from the factory. GM 3 bar, for example, have a +/- 3% variance from "ideal," which means your GM 3 bar can read as low as 26 psi before maxing out and as high as 32 psi. Welcome to miscegenated GM garbage, and the reason why you always retune when switching GM junk sensors...
