10 as well, as are most others. Anything over is getting dangerous

Im running 10-11 PSI on my 88 T-II.
I personally dont recommend running more than 11 PSI,
on the stock turbo, as it wasent designed for that kind of boost. Dont get me wrong im not saying you cant run high boost, because I know people who are doing it as we speak. But there turbo only lasts for a litlle while, and then the oil seals give out. Then its time for a rebuild. So dont go over 11 PSI. And also if you do go to 10-11 PSI make sure you have the fuel.

i ran 18 an waited for mine to go, it ran great for over a year for me, everyone says not to do it an it does and WILL cause damage but i wanted to up grade and once it went i had my excuse to do it, so it will handle more, but if you want it to last dont run more then 10-12psi

P.S. mine also only had 50k on it when i started, so most arnt in as good a shape as mine was

how fast is a turbo 2 running 10-11 lbs of boost. when i ask how fast i mean 0-60..... 60-100. Cuase you figure. S4 running on stock 6.5 lbs runs 0-60 in about 6.5 sec. so what do you guys run with 10 lbs...

just curious... because my turbo car is coming soon.
the n/a will be my daily driver. and the turbo will eventually (2 years) have 400 RWhp. that' my goal at least

10 pounds on a TII w/ an downpipe/exhaust should be good for a 13.8 quarter mile and figure a 5.8 0-60 in my head...right guys?

absolutly rediculous amount of speed.

Is it possible to even get an N/a that fast? all motor no n.o.s?

like i said my turbo car is coming in the summer. the n/a will be my daily driver/go to parts store to work on my 400 hp project.

10 seems to be the magic number so a question for you guys. Will I need bigger secondaries running 10 psi on stock turbo?? How close to the limits of the stock injectors will I be.

this will be my set up. 72 datsun 510, ser 4 13bt w/ser 4 turbo (ported wastegate & manifold, no twin scroll). K&N cone filter, no afm, Microtech ltx8 (getting in on this group buy), upgraded fuel pump (not sure what kind), 3 inch single exhaust, either front mounted stock tII intercooler, or front mounted spearco.

Will the stock injectors be able to handle this (maybe the microtech will help) or will I need to upgrade the secondaries?

thanks
John
