It depends on what turbo you use.

The general safe number is eleventy million psi though.

dont listen to sinister, he's had a sex change and he's NA

your question is very generalized and not answerable.

typically on a high compression setup, you're going to want to shy away from smaller turbos that will create more heat.

well, b16's run like 10.2:1 ish and a b18c5 runs like 11:1, and ive seen ITR's do right in the range of 300whp, and you've got a good sized turbo for the application really, so I would wager that you could make a decent 300 if you do it right and got right proper tuning going on.

but buy some pistons and rods for after you blow it, cause you will.

depends on how your bottom is built... safe is relative 6-8. im sure you engine can handle more.

Re: how much boost can i run safely
 
the question should include the type of engine management you plan to use also, because it all depends on how well the setup is tuned, but I woul say with that turbo and a good tune 12psi

If you don't ask specific questions, put on your flame suit.

Get it tuned with Uberdata,Crome whatever and try around 8psi.The reason you get responces like that is because your question is to vauge and really properly tuned it is more a matter of hp than how much psi.Generally around 300whp or less is a safe goal on factory bottom end.Good luck.

MikeJ-2009 01-02-2006 06:43 PM

Re: how much boost can i run safely
 
Mine wasn't a fuckstick answer. ??? I would have only said 14 psi, but then I saw the fuel cell. That's how I came up with 48.3. ;)

Re: how much boost can i run safely
 
psi is irrelevant in your topic. you should be asking, "how much power can i make safely?"

reason being, you can run 10 psi and make 400 hp, or run 10 psi and make 185 hp.

Re: how much boost can i run safely
 
A billion pounds.

Run however much you need to in order to get the numbers and curve you want, it's that simple. You can make 400WHP on a stock B-series block, just gotta pick the parts right.

Re: how much boost can i run safely
 
I wouldn't run over 10 lbs. on that setup. That is a sexy manifold BTW! ;)

90crxhybrid 01-05-2006 11:03 PM

Re: how much boost can i run safely
