hi, i'm wondering how much boost would be safe to run on an otherwise stock D15B7 i'm putting new rings and bearings in it would 7PSI be good for a daily driver?

 

Depends on what size turbo you plan on using. Running 7lbs on one turbo could be the same power as 10lbs on a different turbo.

 

God this question is getting annoying, so sick of all these "I have a d-series motor and I want to run 8psi on stock internals, will I be ok?"

Sorry to be a jerk, but in life people arent always going to just tell you the answer. When ever I think I might want to add a new part to my civic I research it for month or two depending on how hard of a job it will be. Anyways to get to my point OP, please use our search button, this question has probably been answered more times than any of us can count. Here are a few helpful links for you to read and get the general idea of what a turbo charged car needs and how far you can push your engine.

EDIT: PSI means nothing in terms of safety and reliability. PSI doesnt kill engines HP does. 7psi on a small turbo will not yield as much hp as a big turbo on 7psi.

 

i'm running a TD05-12B, a very small turbo

 

oh and one more thing if i'm not running that much boost I should be fine without touching the fuel system shouldn't I?

 

Get this the idea out of ur head that if you run low boost you will be safe...Did you not listen to anything I said?

No you will have to upgrade your fuel system, fuel pump and injectors. Stop trying to take short cuts by thinking that if you run low boost you will be ok and not have to spend as much money.

 

Any time you introduce more air into the engine you have to upgrade the feul system. Not to mention ignition timing, ecu upgrades, a tune at a rep shop etc... So if your not going to listen to the info people are giving then don't waste you money and thier time!

 

OK, everyone STOP talking down to me like that, I may be new to FI but my grandfather was a mechanic my Dad is a mechanic and i'm a mechanic and i've rebuilt and helped rebuild many engines so I know my way around them. I just wanted to know something and everyone gets mad for asking. so let's try this again what is the easiest way to get more fuel into the engine, I know I don't have to change my injectors cause there 240cc which is big enough for the power I want to make and definetely don't need a bigger fuel pump the stock one will more than keep up with a tiny bit of extra fuel. so what would the easiest way be? higher fuel pressure?

 

Cool, my dad is high ranking executive at a very well known company(Not going to name it for privacy reasons). So, in your words that would make me qualified to do his job....O and my grandpa was an optometrist, so I can do that too but only on my spare time...

First off, you never even mentioned anything in your first post about the fuel system. Second if your a so-called mechanic and have rebuilt engines and know your way around you should have some knowledge of how the fuel system works, which you dont since your asking this question. Third, the reason why I'm getting mad is because this question is literally asked atleast once a day, and when you give someone an answer and they completely ignore what you said, yes you will get talked down apon. I was pretty nice in my first post and provided some useful information, but I'm guessing you didnt read it because the answer can be found in the links I provided. I'm kinda done helping you since you wont listen, good luck with the build.

 

alright i'm done asking here for help because you obviously have no idea what you are talking about you're just going by what you have read and what other people have told you, i'll bet you've never even been inside an engine. anyway i'm done with this thread, Good day.
