I was wondering what is a safe amount of boost to run on a sohc with stock internals.

alll i have is:

turbo
cam gear
exhaust
and in a week or so a stage two cam from skunk 2

 

Were going to run 6psi in the beginning stages until we get a little more set on what we can do dude. Your keeping the stock cam for now, that stg. 2 will be unnessesary right now. Right now we need to get those si injectors from marky or some dsm's, an FMU, OR a V-AFC, until I get some uberdata lined up, and a obd2-obd1 harness, and a p28. Im not sure what fuel mods well be doing in the beginning so were gonna go from 6lbs.

 

I would reccomend a afc/vafc & 450cc injectors over the FMU. but uberdata is better than both. the amount of boost is dependant on the size of the turbo. 5 psi on a small turbo is not the same as 5 psi on a big turbo. boost to 200whp with some tunning and she'll be safe and fast.(for a single cam)

 

 

ran a fmu w/ stock injectors and stock fuel pump on a single cam del sol and never had any fuel issues. now thats for your low boost whenever u get ready to crank up the boost then i would setup the uberdata

 

so DSM injectors work on my sohc vtec???
-im going to run 10lbs.. but start off with 7 on manual boost controller
edit: also, anyone ran a VX tranny on boost. i have a mint condition vx tranny im going to throw on. its got long gear ratios. any expirience.?

 

i know my frien had a vx tranny on his 1.6 vtec and ran the quarter mile in second gear!!! I think he had to shift into 3rd right at the line.!!!!! So unless ur putting down some wicked power to get through those guys I'd think of tryn to find a different tranny. Just my $.02

 

im running 10psi on my jdm d15b vtec. Stock D-series engines are good for about 230hp max with a good tune.

 

i wouldnt even run any boost unless you have an fmu or some kind of fuel supplment i ran boost with no added fuel and blew the motor in two days
