Highest boost levels?
Basicly, id like to know how much boost differant motors can saftly work under. such as the 89-91 13b TII motor, whats the highest you would want to boost on it, before you think you would blow somthing. also, if anyone knows, how much boost can the N/A motors take, with stock internals. And what can be done so it will take more. thanks for the help. Im planning my new project =)
best wishes,
Mike

Can't stress the previous post by gxlspeeder enough. "High boost comes with good tuning"
Met a young fellow in Reading with a beautiful car, '88 body, S5 engine, 2mm seals, hit 22 lbs. Daily driver, but doesn't run that psi constantly. He actually wants to get it in the 11 second area and still be a dd.

well, lets say i have a 90 GXL, With headers, and a forced induction that can hit 20psi. Would it be safe to take that car to the track, and run it at that psi, then just bump it down to like 0-7 for daily driving?
thanks again, best wishes,

with normal 93 oct gas water/methanol injection will help prevent against detonation. It'll cool your combustion chambers. But if you want anything about 12-15 psi you'll really want a standalone ecu so you can tune alot more efficiently. The water injection is a good thing in my book, its farely cheap (better than 4-6 dollars a gallon for race gas) you can run it when you want, helps tune.

Now, while it is true that you can run whatever boost you want as long as it's tuned. I would advice staying under 14psi until you know what you're doing. Even at 14 you can still detonate the engine. Just be careful!

ahh thanks Parastie, I didnt know that. Sorry mods! And yes, headers lol. I'm going to install a electric supercharger (ESC). Not the crap you hear about all the time(leafblower...ect), its from THOMAS KNIGHT TURBOS. They are not extreamly popular yet because of the bad rep. ESCs have. So id imagine there being some flame in here about it from some. Basicly, what i have to say is, come this summer(im starting to plan the project now) im installing one of these, and well see what it can really do. Its a public forum, everyone can put in there two cents. Thanks all

Rick from Rick's Rotary reccomended 1.00 bar max...which is a little under 15psi Even when I race my car (rarely) I don't boost over .75 bar roughly 10psi. I have a chart somewhere with the conversions but I'm too lazy to get it.
edt. thats my stock turbo too

Well, after weighing my options, I think the ESC although very interesting and a cool idea, will cost way more than the car, so theres no point. But, im going to go with a supercharger. Id like to have a TII block if i can. Ill see what i can find. Im going to put on a m90(or similar) supercharger. Im going to make mine with zbrowns idea in mind, but a more 'correct' version. I have 4 differant kinds of welders, and any tools ill need for the job. Im planning on paying under ~$1500 with the price of the car included. Im not looking for maximum performance. Just a daily driver that'll perform better than most newer cars. I will do a dyno before and after the mod. Heres the main things im going to do/install (myself):
M90, Intercooler, TII injecters, headers, 2.5-3'' duals, S-afc, K&N, Boost gauge, adjustable Bov and bypass, retard timing by modding(or using a differant) the dizzy, fab up a mounting bracket.
Ill start working on this now, but wont be ready for the car untill after this school year is done. For those who want a write up, i make up a 'schematic' of the set up. someone will probly make a write up on it soon anyway, just tought id let you guys know in advance, im not going to keep details from ya. ill keep everyone updated as planning progresses. thanks for all your help!!!1one!
