how much pounds of boost on my stock internals

[Redline_civic91]

we'll today im going to my buddys shop to take a look at a turbo, but im wondering if i could slap it on, on stock internals and so how much boost.

[jNYCe5]

ive read that up to 6-7 lbs is safe on stock internals

[marked001]

yeah...I say with proper timing and fueling... 8 is a reasonable number..some people go up to 10-12, just make sure you've got the fuel and spark and you can be safe in that range...but that takes some tuning...

[crxlvr]

to be safe keep it around 5-7psi on stock internals/fuel pressure/spark.

in honda tunning they put about 8lbs of boost just fine and put out 170 someodd wheel horses

Wow, Turbo CR-VTec..... insane i tell you.......

[mellowboy]

I thought u had ur motor built?? I agree with what Marked001 and Crxlvr is sayin. Its all about fuel and spark and tune!

[Redline_civic91]

i dont remember saying that. i've got bolts on, and thats about it. its a revhard turbo and im paying $2400 for it. not bad its never been used. hopefully i get into the low 12's high 11's. im thinking about not getting a blowoff valve so people wont know what i have, or if do(which i probley will)turn it down real low.

use a bypass valve then ... bypass serves the same purpose as a blowoff valves but instead of purging the excess boost in the otmosphere it bleeds it back into the intake before the turbo.

no noise... very efficient.

damn man ... you better be out at the may 3 meet in tracy cause I wanna see your car!!

a BOV is kind of a necessity on a turbo. without a blow off valve, pressure pushes against the closed throttle plate and will force itself backwards through your turbo.

I think thats wot we call a re-circulation dump valve isnt it?

You must have some way to bleed off the excess exhaust or your turbine will stop spinning everytime you let off the gas. That means that it will 1. fuck up your turbo after a while and 2. cause you to have to spool up everytime you shift or let off the gas.

i see. i i'm gonna get the gready adjustable one. just have it on low, and when i wanna show have up full blast. ha ha nah thats not me. melt i'll probley be at the tracy event but i doubt i have the turbo in by then.
