Another question is what is the safest psi level you can run on a Civic Ex Engine? What would I have to do to run more psi?
I was wondering if anyone knows if this is all I need to complete a Turbo minus the turbo and intercooler:
OBD I ecu...P28 or P72 ...they are mostly on 92-95 civic ex/si
OBD II to OBD I Wiring harness
Fuel injectors, 440 cc or bigger with clips
Fuel pump
FMU
Hondata unit
Boost controller
Turbo timer
If anybody has any of this stuff for sale email me at dawrenn@hotmail.com I would like everything to be new except the OBD1 ecu
i would run up to 10 psi on a stock d16y8, as long as its properly tuned.
the greddy kit comes with everything u need minus a Blow off valve and intercooler. people have run the blue box (stock greddy kit FMU) to about 11 psi (i run 8 psi with my blue box)
but if you want to boost higher, you should invest in the hondata for FI engines.
your list of parts would be great
but to even boost higher, you'd need better pistons, rods, and prolly have the block sleeved.
but remember you will have to get it tuned when running any fmu, except the blue box which was meant for that turbo kit
