11 psi safe?

[Autox MSP]

sure you can make over 200whp. But the engine won't be durable.

If you want 200+ hp, MSP was the wrong choice. I've seen a SRT4 with a basic bolt son suspenion mods ripping the msp at the autoX and giving a EVO a run for its money.

However, orangezoom pointed out that he ran 15-18psi for about a year and he's 4th ring went on him. 15-18psi is clearly over boost in my opinion without the proper tuning. If you want to run above 10psi, stay below 13psi and don't abuse the car by boosting it from dawn to dust.

actually, that was Discreet Speed, not orangezoom.

and the FPR is not a regulator, it is a fuel pressure reducer (because it lessens the amount of fuel delivered to lean out air/fuel mixture)

Actually I think my car will last as long as stock, and I am over 200hp and have been for close to a year.
Now the clutch has gone but I did expect that just not so soon

I think it is better tuned then stock

There is a reason I run 8psi on the streets for "daily" driving and 13psi only at the track with 100 octane. And I even have a spare engine.

im running gt28rs with big compressor wheel and housing 10 psi on stock pcm. im gettingon the wideband 11.1-11.4 at WOT through 2,3,4 gears. seems to be ok.

[azian6er]

also i run 93, or 94 octane always. I do have a big fmic which i think helps a bit.

if i wanted to boost 8 or 9 psi would i be "safe" with colder plugs, fcd, fpr, cai, and cat-back exhaust? or should i wait to get my downpipe first? also how much is unichip and how easy is it to use?

 

[03MSPRO]

FMIC isn't going to have much to do with it nor would hard pipes..... need to be worrying more about restrictive stock exhaust.


Need to be thinking about wheel hop at that point as well. Pretty fierce at 11psi.

In all honesty theres not much gain over say 9.5psi and 11psi. Better to keep things safe and gradually step things up. Maybe get a downpipe then catback and gradually step your boost up. You'll get better gains that way and quite a bit safer as well.

dude, lowering the intake temperatures has a lot to do with it.

 

[igdrasil]

you should all get an EGT gauge...monitor what temps you have in stock form and then try to keep it that way when raising boost, even better if you can keep it lower.

OMFG almost all of you guys are such bitches. Don't boost over 9 psi this and that. Jesus, there is more then enough fuel, the car runs extremely rich stock. There is more then enough fuel to run 9-10 psi daily with no other mads. I believe yashooa has been running 12 psi for quite sometime. 40,000 miles or something like that. Ive run 16psi with 2.5in DP, intake, fpr, and an axle back and my car is still running stong. I run 10psi daily, and once I get a new boostcontroller it is going back up to 12-13 psi daily. Stop being bitches about everything and just do it. If you don't have the money to fix something when it blows up, then don't boost it at all. Gotta pay to play.

Stock PCM? What happened to the haltech?

Oh, I didn't mean to be a b**** (lol) . I take everything I said back. Just put on a Joep MBC. You don't need a boost guage those are for pussys also. Just twist that screw on the MBC all the way clockwise. And while your at it put a direct port 100 shot of NOS in there. As long as you have a big exhaust and FMIC your car will be good for 100,000 miles promise.

unless having an fmic makes his downpipe an inch and a half wider, it's not near as important

Chris

gear down big shifter!


keep in mind you're still driving an MSP... no need to come off like you're some kind of badass for boosting above stock.

I've got all the money i need but that doesn't mean I'm going to be careless with my car. $2400 for a new engine sucks no matter which way you look at it

 

[NeverSober]

*jurgs*Wow your retarded. Im just not gonna comment on that............

And when did I say that I was a bigshot for running higher boost? All I said was people are being bitches about turning the boost up a little bit. Jesus get some balls and try things out on your own, Like I said before you gotta pay to play, so If you don't have money or don't want to sit around for awhile for a new motor then don't touch it, leave it alone.

[StreakinOraNgeX]

Im guessing it would be closer to four grand

 

[Pkay]

*jurgs*Wow your retarded. Im just not gonna comment on that............

Wow, great use of "you're" there chief.



It's your attitude. Calling people pussies for not upping their boost without supporting mods.... nice one slick.

Not to mention upping boost without supporting mods is simply going to get you earlier fuel cut and nothing more.


But hey... with a tough guy attitude like yours, your engine is scared to break down!

 

[kNOWfREED0m]

i have been running a joe p mbc set for 10-11 psi, with a CAI, colder Plugs cat-less exhaust and my car is doing fine you also have a FMIC and hardpipes thats even better IMO you'll be fine BUT if you just need the extra piece of mind (and you have 900 bux) get the unichip

 

[StreakinOraNgeX]

unless having an fmic makes his downpipe an inch and a half wider, it's not near as important

The fmic is the single most mod that prevents premature pings and detonations, I've read that in countless magazines.
