99 d16y8 setup

[EndersFail]

so ive been watching this forum for about 2 years and now the time has finally come that my setup is on route from the many companies i ordered from.

-turbonetics t3 turbo at 12 psi daily drive, 15 psi race on STOCK INTERNALS *gasp*

-head gasket raised to .055
-spearco FMIC
-440cc injectors
-walbro fuel pump
-s-afc fuel management
-cam gear, retarded timing

-This setup on stock internals is the vortech demo car i believe, except the run a bigger t3/t4 turbo. I will let you guys know how it goes when its in, and give you pictures and times.

I dont think it is going to last that long on stock internals!

i don't see what the point of changing the head gasket is. all you're doing is taking away power and putting it back with power. why not just run less boost. it sounds like you might be trying to run too much as it is. just my 2 cents. i'd start around 8psi with the stock head gasket and work my way up til i felt comfortable.

yea .. whoa 15 psi on stock internals ? i know a WRX with a SEMI-built motor, and hes affriad to push it past 16psi .. and .. no offense .. your a guy runnin 15psi on a ex motor with stock internals ... hmmm ... watch out for flying honda pistons

[Mrock]

With very good management, you could get away with 10, but 15 sounds a bit to high for my likes!

[jon5240]

ouch, i guess its possible...i'd watch out with 15 pounds...it'll be worth the money for internals if your serious about runing 15 psi...do it slow and do it right..just my pointless $.02

[S Q A D]

not too pointless, could save this dude from blowin his motor :wink:

[dxmannn]

8psi are good dont push it on stock internals get pistons and rods

^^^^ not worth it.

15psi is really pushing it....I've done 12psi plenty of times running the Apexi SAFC II but....I would never go any higher than 12 on stock internals. That's just asking for your rods to snap in half.

[S Q A D]

its only 6psi ... the turbo is good for 15psi ... im not stupid, i would never push 15psi on stock internals ... no way ... maybe 11 though hehehe :twisted:

[green_hornet_96]

I foresee snapped rods, busted ring lands... vrrrrrrrrrrrrOOOOOOOMMMMMMM*BANG!

:shock: well worth internals investment

[S Q A D]

6psi on stock internals isnt bad ... what are you talking about ???
