That's a link to the turbo kit I want to buy when I get a gsr. Does anyone know what the highest safe boost limit is for this turbo?

Specs on your motor.......? Tons of variables.

It's a TD05H-18G turbo on a stock gsr

I plan on keeping the engine internals completely stock except for injectors

Think again. Stock GSR c/r is 10:1, and the stock pistons won't be able to hold 20lbs. Gsr motors have higher compression, and turbo setups call for low compression. Unless you plan on driving it for like 10secs, dont go that high. lol
Basically any motor with stock internals will blow up under that boost pressure. Stock internals with the gsr's c/r, I'd say the highest safe pressure to go is 9lbs maybe 10lbs, but thats pushing it.
Then again, i wouldn't boost with stock internals with a higher compression motor. just sayin.

thanks bro

lol I just read your quote. Good advice. Now I'm thinking of getting a gsr and just doing the cai, header, and exhaust. Should be fast enough to spank most v8's so that's fast enough for a 1.8

LOL that won't last a mile. Shouldn't go over 8-9 on stock internals.

should I go with low boost or cai, header, exhaust?

and I wasn't talking about brand new v8's I mean like old mustangs and camaro's only making less than 300hp. plenty of them around busting my balls when I had my stock 00 celica gts

 

[hazeblazin]

sold it to save up for an S2000 but that never happened so I have enough for a good gsr and some upgrades

Bolt ons & nitrous.
