i just got in my turbo its a drag kit and was wondering how much boost these itr's can handle. can they handle 10psi daily driven likes gsr's on stock motor?

what turbo are you running? the compression on your motor is really high so i wouldnt recomend anything over 7.

None. If you run boost, it's not a stock Type R.

Psi doesn't mean shit. CFM does.

I wouldn't push more than 300 whp out of any stock B-series motor.

But to answer your question, if you have good tuning (not the halfassed tuning method Drag provides with the kit), 10 psi wouldn't be a problem on a stock block B18C5.

i was planning to go with a drag kit since i want to keep all the ac and ps. but i might change the manifold and get a rull race ac on.

i guess for now i was just gonna use the fmu untill i can get some type of mangement. do you tink i would be able to run 10 psi on a track day or maybe even daily driven? not like im going to be boosting at all times

No. Don't half ass the most important part of the turbo system; especially with a high compression motor. If you care about your reliability, do it right and get either a standalone or a chipped ECU to handle fueling and ignition.

some places wont recommend more than 5 psi due to the compression. Dont do it half-assed and get it done right

i'll bet 10 psi added to a stock type r with a t3 would be more than 300 hp for a stock b series block. i saw 8 psi make 294hp. i dont know the size of the turbo, but i doubt it was much bigger.

you say 10 psi wouldnt be a problem. is that 10 psi on a t25, t3, t66? thats something that needs to be specified...

Read his first post. He states that this is with the Drag kit.

I highly doubt the engine would make that kind of power from a basic Drag kit on a high compression motor like the Type R because the ignition would have to be pulled a good amount to avoid detonation on pump gas.
