If i got a stock NON-TURBO 2nd gen RX7, how much boost could i run on it without risking blowing it up soon? (of course i'm going to turbo it for all you funny guys)

 

oh jeez. search.

 

-35 psi

 

actually, i'd say you're good up to 45psi
p.s.
really thats ****
you should search

 

18. yup, 18.

 

just search

 

For god sakes guys, the dude has 2 posts, he's new. Give him a break.

You should do a search for more info but here is a quick bit.

It highly depends on what kind of fuel you are willing to run and your management system. With a proper tune on pump fuel (91-94 octane) you should be safe at about 14-16lbs. But far more factors need to be considered including your compression, intercooler, the kind of turbo you will be using, your fuel system, and how rich your MAP is. Depending on the answers to these questions and more will depend on how much boost you can run.

 

on a na motor?!!?

 

yea, it's doable.

we've got 13 on somewhat conservative timing on an aux bridge set up, you could conceivably get 15 on a aux + secondary bridge (or NA HBP as some people call it, I call it the 2/3rds bridge).

 

it sounds expensive...

i know there are some racers out there that can pull this off, but for the average person asking ,'can i do this or that'... may be a bad idea to push more than what, 5 psi through a na motor. even that can be a disaster.
