After staring at your post for long enough, then your name, I finally figured out on my own that you own a 1g DSM.

I have no idea, and a DSM guy may happen to come in here and check, but you should have put your car in the title of the thread. :)

If you are wondering PSI, to give a better awnser, somone would need to know the turbo size....or if its stock turbo w/e. otherwise you will more than liekly get a HP # for the limit.. considering psi raelly doesnt mean much, its more about how many CFM and HP you can run in it safe.

its a greedy t-25

T U N I N G.
That's what will determine the amount of boost you can safely run.

I'm just gonna LOL @ "greedy" and let it go at that.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

EXACTLY!!!(as usual, Fabrik8 is right on)

I need a tune and i wont even drive my car till i get one.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

Who ever tunes the car will tell you how much it will handle

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

You got other shit to worry about before melting those pistons. Please post more info

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

50psi should do, make sure u test it in heavy traffic too

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run

put the wg reference line n do a pull in 3rd or 4th. that will allow you to know what the car can handle n where to set it.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

10-15 to get you start. n-e-thing more then that might cause you problems

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

20psi!!!!!!!

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

8psi

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

no matter what boost you run...its just a matter of time on stock.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

What the hell car is it? Only N/T DSMs are 9:1 stock.

The ammount of boost you can safely run is a facter of many things:

Fuel volume available
Fuel pump strength (can it push the pressure required for the boost)
Tuning capability to safely tune for the boost
Strength of the pistons/rods
and much much more

If you think boost doesn't mean anything then I hope you're not tuning anything. Boost creates cylinder pressure which is a direct load on the motor. CFM/airflow is NOT load. CFM makes power not load.

Boy, that's good advice.. lol.

I love reading new profound ways to spell things.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

iight thanks

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run

Worthless thread! Not enough information is being provided by the OP to provide an intelligent response...

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

a little more help. Search - sites> dsmtuners.com dsmtalk.com

running 6bolt 1gen, stock fp, 450cc and the 14b 13psi? i think some had the 13b? don't think it would be different but i think i've seen it running the same. 13psi. only from what i've read. no quite knowledge like highpsi (from what i hear "guru") so might give him more info for him to use.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

Only if your tuning sucks. It's all about the tune, I'm running 18psi daily with no issues. But I'm also not on a base map or some fmu crap. A good tuner will tell you when you should stop.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

i wanna put a thicker head gasket on it and run 15psi..........i have a 255 fuel pump and 450 injectors.........front mount,hks bov,BC, performance fuel pressure regulator,but im just no tryin to tare it up soon as i get out there!!!!!!!!just need a lil help........

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

You should be able to run 15psi as it sits now, but the question is have you had any tuning done to the car as of yet? If not you may want to wait and have some ignition tuning done first so that your engine doesn't go boom.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

lol....

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

Hahaha...when you test this way it's better to use open headers so you can hear what your motor is doing, gives you a better feel for the car. And start with 87 octane to help break it in.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

yeah you can run 30psi as it sits right now also..lol...just gonna last half as long as the 15psi..haha..if there is no forged internals..and around a 57 trim t3t4 turbo......aint gonna last to long.i wouldnt run over 10psi if you dont want shit breakin so soon.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

Can i get 75??? going once..... goin twice..... sold

Looks like a winner.

edit: Seriously, forget about boost level and just get your damn car tuned.

Re: How many lbs of boost should i run
 

PSI is not going to break the motor, the whp is what breaks motors.

You need an IQ mod.
