what do I need to run a safe 8psi?
I have a 12:1 fmu, FMIC, BOV; however I have stock internals on a D16Z6 with 85,000. I want to run 8psi without the worry of grenading my engine. If it's not possible, then cool, but if I can, then show me the way.

well a ZC and a Z6 have simular power and my turbo ZC would kick a B16's *** easy. dont give up hope (but it might be better to start with a B16 and turbo that, sold my ZC to go that route)...

I think beau ran the same 1/4 mile time NA in his B16a than you did with your turbo ZC dustin :P
He was also on street tires, not to mention Jims B16a could walk all over your old Turbo ZC

i'm not as familiar with crx's, but I know when it comes to eg hatches, a turbo d16(even at 6psi) will walk a b16
and besides, if you took two people, and gavem enough money each for a b16 swap, but one chose to turbo his d16,
the d16 would come out waaayyy better!

Both B16's were practically stock...
Beaus didnt even have a header, Just Intake and Exhaust w/ a PR3 ecu. 14.0 @ 98.0 mph
Jims was a bit more modified, ACT Clutch/Factory LSD and he used large slicks.. Factory air box!
13.7 @ 99.9mph

Re:what do I need to run a safe 8psi?
So, would it be safe to run 8psi with stock internals or is it pushing it a little bit?
would bigger injectors be necessary?
Or are we talking Z-dyne gold, new clutch and selling kids on the black market.
Basically, should I be satisfied with the 6psi until I build my engine up?
Thanks,
