ok i want to know how much boost can i run on a stock b18a1 ls ? with 114.000 miles on it very good motor. with a t3 turbo
 
There's a lot more to it than "this motor can run 'x' amount of boost safely" with a lot of it being in the tuning. What kind of engine management are you going to be using? Have you done a compression/leakdown test on the motor to be sure it's in good shape before you add a turbo?

:werd: the tune will pretty much determine what you'll be able to get away with safely.
 
is this your DD? 10psi should be fine. just figure from 5-10 on stock engine. what kind of "chip" ?

If he has the chip and does not have the turbo setup installed - the chip is definately not tuned for his application.
 
its a spoon chip the power band in my car i from 3200 to 7000 rpms so i what engine management should i use . and yes its my dd
 
psi is useless.

a GOOD SOLID ls will hold 275-300hp at the wheels.

if you're is old, weak, or dirty, take 10 hp off for everything crappy about it.

decide on a figure.

use X psi it takes to get there.
