I'm going to say approx 1700 psi...




Are you getting this? Catching on yet?

Psi is totally dependant on they size of the turbo. 14b at 10 psi is a lot less than gt30 at 10 psi. It's all about how many CFM's the turbo flows.

no I'm not talking about how soon a turbo will make boost. i'm saying a 14b at 10 psi will make xxx hp whereas a gt30 at 10 psi will make zzz hp. 10 psi on one turbo isn't the same as 10 psi on another turbo. The two will make a different ammount of hp at the same ammount of boost. Telling us you have a t3/t4 doesn't tell us ----. Telling us you have a .xx trim t3/t4 with an ar. of .xx/.xx will tell us alot more. At least then you could READ THE ------- FAQ'S which will point you in the direction of learning how to read compressor maps. Then you could pick a properly sized turbo for your build. So in a round about way of answering the original question of this thread: Your block may be able to handle 2 psi or 200 psi depending on which ------- turbo you are using. Last point... don't listen to a god damned person when they give the standard answer of "8-10 psi" because they don't know what the ---- they are talking about. They are just telling you something that someone told them that they heard from someone that they were told by their brother's sister-in-law's uncle's wife's dad.

All that crap and you couldn't just get a B18B block? I mean seriously the difference in the displacement can be had if you bored it out, which how the displacement is gained in the B20 block to begin with, I'm quasi-sure those cranks/stroke are the same.

And that's not even considering what B20 you have, because if you got the retard OBD0 block from a Prelude you are fucked. :1 :1 :1
