If you are running 3.63 psi, is there a need to get anything more than an FMU and one range colder spark plugs??? or does teh fuel pump and rail need to be changed??? i wouldnt think so but just checking

i think most fmu's are 10:1 or 12:1. stock pump and rail will be fine for that. i dont see the point though? i didnt even know wastegate springs went that low??
 
3.63 psi? Why bother even spending the money to boost it? And why are you going to run such a low level of boost?

well right now im jsut figuring stuff out. Im not saying that im going to but its an option. My plan is this. and please dont bash on it....

BUy a turbo kit and run 3.63 psi for a few months unitl i can upgrade the fuel system an get a better manifold. then i will raise the boost up to like 6. then when my car is off the road for the winter do internals and up it to 9 psi for the spring.


has anyone run such a low psi??? im trying to figure out exactly what i should get

a stock motor handle can handle 250-300whp depending on its health. normally thats about 8-10psi on a 57 trim turbo depending on the other supporting mods

Especially if you're going to buy a kit you'd be okay running higher PSI a kit should include everything you need.

Unless what you mean is you want to buy a turbo, manifold, dp, WG & BOV, put it all together and run low boost until you get the other fuel/ignition supporting mods.
 
I cant see spending all the money to turbo a car and not spend the little extra you would need to run a decent boost level.
In all honesty, when you said you wanted to run 3.63 PSI my first thought was that you had confused the PSI scale and Bar scale.
Had that been the case, I would have creamed my pants seeing the final product. An Integra boosting 3.63 bar and built to handle it...can you say insanely fast???

EXACTLY!!!

its only temp unitl i get everything else, baby steps. By next spring ill have a built motor with 10 psi. But i dont want to jsut start at 10 psi becasue theres a lot more involved. If i start low then i can work my way up to more while learning how to do it the right way
