You only live ones have sum fun

 

on a T3 .48/.60 i would do 12psi daily
on a T3/T04e .48 i would do 10-11psi daily(maybe more)

FMU=8psi on a LS aka "i spent close to $3000 turboing my car but im a ----- and im going to lose 40whp because i dont know what the ---- im doing"

Get an ECU hack and do some dyno tuning...partial and full throttle...just dont boost a high number with a manifold or WG that is prone to boost spikes...if you are pushing the limit and you often spike you could cause some pretty serious engine damage...

 

I've got an LS and i blew my rods first time i boosted(on the dyno)i don't blame everything on the internals,but i'll tell u this,don't rev over 7500 and keep plenty of fuel flowing(pretty obvious).i think the only reason i blew my pist. was because my car did not have a rev limiter and the guy pushed it too far(8500 that's when it blew).besides that i think the guy at the shop is bullshiting u,like i said keep rev low and pump enough fuel and u won't have any problems if u run less than 10lbs.good luck

 

8500 on a LS!!!! MY GOD i wonder why those rods let go.

 

I am upgrading to ls rods. they are fabled to handle up to and around 340 hp.

 

lets see,my friend has run low 13's on his 3rd gen teg. stock internals. 8 pounds. not blown yet. boosted all summer, plus spring.

my other friend, had a d16z6 boosted 20PSI For 3months till it threw 2 rods (wanted to blow the stock motor, had a built z6 waiting).

you will be fine with 8psi on LS internals. the key is TUNING. i personally, would do DSM injectors, AFC, FPR, FP gauge, and wide band tuning (street and dyno).

www.slowmotionmotorsports. all home made turbo kits, including a civic running low 12's, fastest neon in ohio (low 12) del sol running high 12's, and more.

all (but the low civic 12sec) run AFC/DSM injectors, wideband tune. no one has blown a motor.

the 12sec civic has hondata.
