I like how the integra looks better though, yet the celica has a nice futuristic look to it I guess.
What is the highest safe boost level I can set this turbo to?

and gsr's are much harder to find. could only find 10 on autotrader in the whole country for sale. i would have to pay to have one shipped to me

First and foremost do a compression test, then use google

Only 10 GSR's for sale in America? Lmfao there is nearly that many within a 30mile radius of me in Ohio

There are probably at least 15 in the Dayton area, bro. I'm sure you can find more. Autotrader sucks. Check CL.

Try agin, I would change my 9:1 pistons out for 10:1 pistons in a heart beat. Quicker spool, same power levels on lower PSI. If you have a s***ty tuner then you should be concerned, if you have someone with half a brain who knows what they are doing you're good to go.
So many variables on "whats safe", do a compression and leak down test to see how healthy your engine is to begin with. Then buy quality parts, quality engine management and find a good tuner. I see no reason 15psi couldn't be done if your motor is healthy.
Do tell us how many turbo motors you owned?
Stop watching fast and furious and pick up a science book
Oh and a turbo is a bolt on, mine has 4 bols that hold it to the turbo manifold, never understood that whole argument

basically, i like fast!
I have the biggest penis.

OP find a mildly beat up type R for 8500 and fix it up :thumbup:

another variable that i didn't see anyone mention is the health of your motor. A "healthy" gs-r can support 9-10lbs but if you have a sh***y motor than even that will only last a few miles. If you are going to spend 3k on a turbo kit make sure your motor is in good shape otherwise you will spend even more money to replace it....motors aint cheap

This thread makes me laugh. A lot of people without experience are putting their 2 cents in from what they learned on the internet. I’m not going to insult anybody. But I will say a stock block GSR can safely make 300hp on pump gas, regardless of boost pressure. 300 is regarded as the safe limit on the factory cast pistons. I’m aware others have made more power (and some less) but those are exceptions not the majority.
Compression is not the limiting factor. If you look at boosted stock S2000s, who have even higher compression you will see how successful they are at making great power on pump gasoline. Also compression does not affect spool. That’s a myth I read all over the internet. Compression does not increase exhaust mass flow or exhaust pressure.
And using boost pressure as a yard stick is ridiculous. It’s a measure of resistance, not flow. A larger turbo will net more power at the same boost pressure as a small turbo on the same engine. Total power and cylinder pressures are what matter, not PSI.
Don’t be afraid of boosting high compression engines. Talk to your tuner and get it professionally tuned right away. Don’t boost on a basemap and then blame it on the parts.
