Im doing a d16 turbo setup, and with the compression ratio only being 9.2:1 I figure it would be able to hold a lot of boost. I mean I could be totally off... But I was just wondering for a d16 driven at the strip what would be the maximum safe pressure, and maximum safe pressure for a daily driver.

 

Wut D16 model motor do u have? I wouldnt recomend more than 8 psi, but thats my 2 cents.

 

it all depends on alot of factors and tuning.

 

i blew my d16 at 8psi after two years, the guy who i sold the car to rebuilt the motor and blew it in 2days at 11psi

 

You'll find that you can run more pressure if you can tweak other things like fuel octane, higher octane has higher flashpoint, but burns cooler. Spark plug heat range, and ignition timing, and injector duty cycle.

 

EEk what d16 did you have and how many miles? Is there anyone else on here who has blown a d16z6 or has any success stories maybe? I need to be faster than my roomates, and its tough, one has a jdm swap prelude, and the other is a tt rx7, I dont know if ill catch him but I want to be close.

 

i had a jrsc...had bout 110k on the motor...they gut hwo bought it from me, put pistons that had 500miles on them...we had a guy on our team who had a si hatch with a greddy turbo kit, he was runnin high 13's at stock boost

 

5-6psi street daily driven 7psi at 1/4 track.
Or just drop a stronger head gasket and you can run 8 psi

 

prolly why i blew the motor..i drove 2 yrs at 8psi no head gasket/w stock internals

 

Thanks for your help guys
