10psi is pushing the stock MAP sensor.

There is no way to tell what your motor will take. 10psi is getting up there for a stock motor. Do a compression check, how many miles, pull the pan and inspect the bottom end.

im running 12 on a motor that's never been cracked open.. 10 psi should be fine on a good tune i'd imagine

Ive heard stock honda MAP sensors are only good for 11PSI MAX. you can buy other ones, but more than 10psi on a stock guts and your probably look for trouble. but thats just my 2 cents

Honda MAP sensors are 1.8bar sensor, meaning good about 11.8 PSI. But guys boost 15psi on tem all day long sometimes. Mine took 11psi all day for a while.

I know, that's so strange, for some people they can hit easy 15 like you said, and for other people, they throw a map code as soon as they touch 11. Do you know why that is?

Nope, not a clue. I've spiked right up to 20psi before, no code, A few times with a shitty mbc I would spike a little high 14-15psi and the car wouldd just act like a fuel cut.
