dumb question but i am going to ask anyways.... completelystock b16a1 ... how much boost could you run on it safely without injuring it ....
 
Well, it depends on a lot of things.

Mileage
Age
Wear
What turbo setup
What fuel setup
How good the tuning is


I'd say 8-10 psi would be semi-safe on 93 with decent tuning, althought 12 might be a goal with a really well rounded ECU tune.


Pay the money for tuning, or pay 3x as much later when your engine grenades.
 
psi is meaningless.

POWER breaks parts.
not pressure as mesured at the map sensor.

275-300 whp is a safe limit for a stock b-series on a SOLID tune.
