How much Boost can a stock RX-7 handle safely?
I'de like to install a Boost controller on RX-7 but im not sure how much boost a stock RX-7 1993 with an Apexi air intake can handle safely. Please help me out. Thanks

Get an aftermarket ECU (along with a few other upgrades) and you can go higher.

It's like jumping off a cliff. How far can you fall & not kill yourself?
The key word in your post is SAFE. You got your answer..........
10 psi (stock boost). Anything more is "not safe". Without all the above mentioned mods you run the risk of running lean & detonation.
Even then, your not "SAFE"............

i was running 12 psi on my rx7 with intake, DP,mid pipe and a PFC for about 6 months with no problems. the key upgrade is the PFC. if your just goin to use the boost controller then i would stay with 10 psi but if you have a PFC i see nothing wrong with goin higher. the PFC will keep it "safe" is what i think. i tuned my PFC for the 12 PSi.
