safe boost
 

what is a safe amount of boost on a completely stock 91 '7???? im putting together a turbo kit for my '7 and i was jsut wondering how much boost i could push in it with stock internals w/o blowing the hell out of my 13b

too many variables... one mainly being the tune.

safe? 2psi

safe? 13psi

safe? 20psi w/ race fuel

all could blow the fuck up tho with bad tuning :D

well im good with the tuning part, i learned how to tune on a 96 accord w/ 8 psi. im not looking for like 600rwhp but like close to 300 woul dbe fine with me. I have t3/t4 turbo for the 7 and i was thinking like 5 to 6 psi???? on stock internals.... cause i know the stock injectors are pretty good, soooo what do you think i should do???? wait to to build it and run like 15psi, or for right now jsut run like 5 or 6 on stock internals?

i ran 12 pounds on my stock turbo 2 with a t4,and stock computer with no problems.

but with stock internals??? and im making an N/A into a turbo... is it different?

haha you're going to have a blast. Document everything.

I recommend you really sit back, search and read the forums. It is not a stupid 96 honda engine by any means.

i meant the honda engine is been tuned...... im worried about the 7 right now. im real short on cash, but i can make some minor upgrades

what are you planning on tuning with? honda engines require a good bit different timing all around and fuel requirements aren't the same either.

plus, you probably were using Crome (at best) which is nothing like any stand alone for the RX7's. then again if your planning to use stock ecu with something like an safc, well... i wish you the best. :)

go into the 2nd gen subforum and read about a turbo n/a engine, you will find better info there for your proposed setup. In short, you are better off swapping in a turbo engine. And whatever Honda style T3/T4 you have is too small.

well i used a greddy e-manage, and i do know everything is different. and finally sombody pointing me in the right direction

on a rx-7 0 psi is safe anything after that your looking at spending $$$$
