Not to start a flame war here... but I NEVER said it was safe did I? I don't think so... now if we look at the scenario here, I said "You could pump the up the PSI 12-15 on stock internals...", then I also added "I would suggest that you get a bigger fuel pump..." (fuel delivery systems) becaus if you don't add fuel to satisfy air being forced, could cause detonation. I know this for a fact!
Me and my friend Paul, setup a Honda Preldue SI 1989 (We tuned for the good portion of the weekend with his dad) with a custom turbo with intercooler and stock internals, and it ran at 14 psi and he got 13.11 in the 1/4 at the Sacramento Raceway in California.
Now this car is dead, because
[email protected] like we are did'nt relocate the powersteering line (that runs accross the exhaust maniforld, i suggested we should dump it to lose weight, but Paul wanted it), caused to much heat from the turbo manifold, and the line... well, lets say we had a little BBQ. So that's the end of the story. But that prelude ran extremly well on pump gas and it was a daily driver for a good 8 months... between the time we slapped ont he turbo and when it went up in flames... Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this motor had good compression test before the installation of the turbo and it had 134,xxx on the odometer.
Now Rev and Boost, I did'nt say I know everything, I don't, but I have experience, and I'm damn sure I can learn from Boost and everyone else here on this board. But why would I lie, and why would I give a fellow TI member bull about turbo's and stuff which ain't even cool. I was a member of hondaprelude.com and I've always gave my best advice and never tried to screw anyone over. If I did'nt feel confident on the info I'm giving out, I wouldn't give it out, and if I did'nt know jack about it, I would ask questions, that's how we learn right?
Like I said int he begining, I'm not trying to start a flame war, just backing up what I was saying.
Questions and comments (good and bad are welcomed),
