Hi guys how many pounds of boost can u run a stock engine?

[rar40941]

Hey guys I wanted to get a turbo but didn't wanted to do anywork on the internals till later how many pounds of boost can I run a stock engine

 

[tweety2300]

With supporting mods about 10 psi for a daily. Supporting mods bein intake exhaust and a good tune

 

[rar40941]

Oh s*** really dam I have both of those but also isn't it hard to tune a turbo

 

[NocturnalSpeed]

Intake System
Front Mount Intercooler
2.5" Turbo Back Exhaust System
Unichip

Should be fine for 10 psi I would think and a great daily driver.

 

[rar40941]

Well I have a injen cold air and also a hks cat back and I was going to kit a turbo kit and then up grade that slowly

 

[rar40941]

Will that work and are u guys sure that 10 psi is ok cause if my engine blows I am ******

 

[NocturnalSpeed]

lol tell me about it. I'm getting tuned soon myself... possibly to run 15 psi...

I'm not going to promise anything. Going FI is very risky and could be a ticking time bomb, even at stock boost.

 

[rar40941]

Dam man that's alot for a dd but I bet u will be geting around 300
Hp right

You failed to mention the condition of your engine.

 

[rar40941]

Are u talking about mine ??

 

[BOOSTR]

Are u talking about mine ??

Of course! You don't want this to happen.

 

[rar40941]

No no I don't cause this is my only car and I don't have a back up well I have 89,000 miles and it seems great to me

Hell no! The highest recorded whp protege with stock internals made 277whp by 505Zoom (I think). I'm looking close to 250-260whp and stopping.

Well... technically your correct, mybad.

I'll have to dyno my car then so I can steal that record...I was at 245whp/244tq with a hole in my boost piping and huge exhaust leak, and I've gone up 2psi....

 

[BOOSTR]

Then don't run around at 10 psi daily, especially on Cali 91 octane.

 

[rar40941]

Well I saw a protege on YouTube that ran 15 psi and got 300 whp but idk about stock internals

 

[rar40941]

I was thinking about tubing around 5 to 7 psi And what should I do if I want to run it that high

 

[NocturnalSpeed]

No no I don't cause this is my only car and I don't have a back up well I have 89,000 miles and it seems great to me

I have 90k and some change myself. Guess we'll see what happens..

 

[boost-guy]

if you dont want to blow it dont mode it... But wheres the fun in that

 

[BoostedPR5]

I hate to be the asshole in the thread but if you have to ask what you have to do to boost a certain psi you haven't done enough research. Sorry but look into it more or you're going to either get half way through a build and **** it up, or get it finished and pop your engine.
