how quick would this setup be or quess

what do you think a stock d16a6 stock crxsi 91 with 8psi from a good turbo setup will run in the 1/4mile yes i know there are alot factors to add in but just quess do you thiink its go for high 14's or what just tell me what you think

low 15s high 14s? depends on lots of things, but mostly the condition of the engine

not sure but is it safe to run 8 psi on a stock engine?

that i dont know but we will leave it there since it already there

Between 5-8 psi on a good running A6 should be fine. Also what size turbo you talking about? 8 psi out of a T25 and 8psi out of a T4 are a really big difference.

well let say a t4

^ true forgot about that - size DOES matter lol

high 14s

well let say a t4
t4's are huge for our cars arent they?
youll probably also have quite a bit of lag to boost

then what is the best turbo for our cars ?

i think the ihi rhb5 (might be a little off but close) is a small turbo good for a first project spools quick and is set somewhere around 5psi can be found on some ford cars like probes i think. the t3 is also good smaller than t4 alot more practical. most turbos you can find in a junkyard that came stock on a car work pretty well.

depends on what your objective is, jus plain ol speed?

Yeah if you want something that spools quick and has a nice punch I would go with a T25 or T28.

yes just speed.... but needs to handle putting out 15psi in a while when the time comes.....

thanks

I would go with a T28. Spools quick and can push 15-18psi if I remember correctly.

I ran 10psi every day for over 6 months on my stock block Y7/Z6 minime with no problems. it hauled ass.

An engines ability to handle boost is not limited by psi, but rather power output capability (can the rods/pistons/etc. physically take the power outputted by X amount of psi), and fuel and spark management. You can easily blow an engine with 5psi with imporper management, and can also as easily run 10-12psi on astock d series with proper management, although i wouldn't recommend more than 10psi daily.

As was said, your time all depends on your drag racing skills, tuning, weight of the car, track conditions, etc.

If you had slicks, and ran a *perfect* run (1.9 60', perfect shifting, perfect conditions), you could possibly run a 13.9 or so, but if i was to guess, i'd say you should expect mid 14s.

Yeah this is the man to listen to. I was just saying 5-8 psi because aren't the d series rods only rated for 200hp?

Remeber, he's talking about 1/4. There is NO turbo lag in the 1/4

you might run like 14s but also it depends on the driver if u are good at racing or not.

Yeah this is the man to listen to. I was just saying 5-8 psi because aren't the d series rods only rated for 200hp?

200hp is a good round number to rate them with, i personally would say they can handle maybe 250tops..but i will almost guarantee that you wont hit 200hp @ 8psi

in my personal experience, its not the rods that break (unless you boost a d15), its usually bearings that get spun, head gaskets blow, or you break ring lands from detonation.

Its all about management. A guy on www.homemadeturbo.com has an EG coupe with a stock block d16z6, and he hit 230whp @12psi, and ran a mid 12 in the 1/4.. he has very good management and probably doesnt run 12psi daily.

I state this from personal experience: As long as you have proper fuel and are not detonating (regardless of whether or not the engine is tuned for maximum power), then a d series can handle 10psi with no problem.

and as for this guy...
Remeber, he's talking about 1/4. There is NO turbo lag in the 1/4

you have no idea what you're talking about. turbo lag has nothing to do with the distance raced, turbo lag is the time it takes the turbo reach full spool (maximum psi). with my setup, i reached 10psi by about 3500rpm (it could've been a lower rpm, but my charge pipes were unnecessary long and large in diameter)...the time you spend from idle to 3500 rpm is considered turbo lag. my turbo lag was not very noticeable, and usually wont be on any setup unless you have an abnormally large turbo.

i know theres i alot that goes in to play but im not going to hold anyone to what they say i was just wondering ...... thanks every one

Yeah management is the key. I plan on running 10.5:1 c/r Y8 with a turbo. Just will have to tune thr crap out of it.

jeesh, how much boost are you going to run? Thats gonna be a bitch to tune right...

doug what do you hope to run
