Hey FD owners im new to this awesome machine but i have done a lot of the research that was posted on the faq of the 3rd gen. I had just a few questions.

1)with a aftermarket intake,dp,cb,power fc,and bigger smic will i be saved from detenation or leaning the engine out and blowing it? Main point is will this setup be safe to run for road driven and auto x every once in a while?

Sorry if this question has been asked before but i tried to find a question similar but didnt have any luck. Any help would be awesome, thanks guys.

 

yes, you'll be fine with that as long as the Power FC has the correct map and you've taken care of all the other necessities (maintenance, reliability mods, extensive praying, etc). just don't abuse her and you *should* be fine. upgrading your fuel system will help as well.

 

The 10psi rule applies, so as long as the boost stays at/below 10psi you're safe. If you have a powerFC you might get it tuned for 11 or 12psi, in which case that is your limit.

Thanks a lot guys for your help and yes i do take extensive care of every car ive owned. telum01 the maintenance wont be an isue since im taking care of that first but thanks for looking out . I understand that FD's are a privilege to own and not to be taken advantage of, posting pics soon. dgeesaman thanks for the fuel tip and i will look after keeping it under 12 psi since the car will spike. thank you all for the imput guys.
