Stock turbos pushing 16-17lbs!!
I've had FD RX-7's in the past,all stock sequential turbo's with mods. This one is pushing 13-14 lbs on first turbo and 16-18 lbs on second turbo. All I want to know,is this safe for my engine?? And if not,can I easily adjust the boost on the Greddy Boost controller?
The mods are:
SS 3" Downpipe
Apexi Super AFC Fuel Controller
Greddy B-spec Boost Controller(with low and high boost set half way and balance set all the way on sharp)
Street Port Intake and Exhaust
3G Sequential System Upgrade
All work done 10 years ago by Excellent Performance Ft. Lauderdale,FL.
I would appreciate anybody's help on this!
Thanks!

without a PFC to add/control fuel your going to pop that motor.. you cant run more than 12psi on the stock fuel system/injectors safe. are you sure your hitting those boost levels ? the stock ecu will go into fuel cut above 12 psi.... I dont think your boost readings are correct they must be lower than your gauges are showing or your motor would have blown

Thanks For the info!! I'm not for sure exactly what all mods are on the car. It runs fine at those boost levels. VERY FAST!!! But I don't want to blow a motor!! My first move will be an APEXi Power FC.

With a main stock cat, you should be able to control your boost. Either your boost controller isn't working, or it isn't set properly.
You can boost 16-17 psi, but you can't do it safely at higher rpms. There just isn't enough fuel. I wouldn't go wide open over 5K with things as they are.
The boost issue should be correctable. Don't risk blowing your motor.

boost
I am sure its fast !, but I am sure at those boost levels you are running lean!.. remember "leaner is meaner LOL" so it may run well and fast until it pops. listen to the people here your are flurting with desaster.. lower the boost learn about the car and mod it right you will be happy instead of sorry.

Wow. A super AFC and almost 20 psi? You're on borrowed time my friend... do you often wonder why it sounds like someone's making popcorn at WOT?
I doubt that thing has been running like that for 10 years. Some component involved with boost control has probably **** the bed recently.
i'm surprised no one has told you to stop driving the car (I understand why the engine builders haven't!). I wouldn't drive it. And before you drive again, I'd run your boost pressure lines so that the wastegate and precontrol see max pressure and you have rock bottom boost.
good luck.

Agree with arghx. Check to see if the ECU has been replaced/upgraded. Pull the kickpannel and see if there is a pettit sticker on there.
16-17psi is a lot... but it's been done on stock fuel before... cause I've done it with pretty much the same parts as listed... along with a pettit ecu.
Wickedly fast? Yes. Dangerous as hell? Absolutely. Am I still on the same motor... no.

Over here in NZ we've got 98 RON "pump gas". Send me your 7, I'll keep it happy. mwahaha. :-)
I often wonder why you US folk only get such low octane gas....
