My friend has a 99 ex with d16y8. He is going to put eagle rods and srp pistons into it. Lowering his c/r to 9.0:1 from 9.6:1. How much boost can he run safely??

wno one can tell you. You dont rate by hp. You rate by hp/tq. THe better question is how much power can it hold... still cant tell you cuz it has to many verables.. turbo size(makes diffence in powerband), injectors size, tuning method, & other s**t
He has the edelbrock turbo kit. the one that is set to 7-8 psi. if that don't help then I really don't care because he is to lazy to come here and ask
no all depend that you put rods and pistons betters , depend too to do a good tuning , which injectors do you will use.. what turbo...etc.. cuz you can to blown your engine runing still to 4 PSI though you runing with this pistons and rods..
I know he is putting in eagle rods and srp pistons thats all I know I guess he is screwed because I don't know all the info on his setup.
I know the rods can handle 550 and pistons lower the c/r to 9.0:1

jhahaha ,sure! now i see your answer and yes is almost the same thing .. such bad is my english ?Sleeper said:your almost saying the same thing i said.. but in the european guy broken english way
Went to the edelbrock website and got the specs on the turbo also talked to him on the phone

He said he plans on using the stock injectors because he doesn't know if he should go bigger (I am guessing bigger don't know much about F/I as you can tell) pistons rods you know about already. ARP head studs.
He wants to know the following.
1. How much boost on good tune
2.Bigger injectors if so what size
Sorry for all this crap I don't care he does lol so if this doesn't yeild something that can produce answer then this can be closed

Hes not getting far at all on stock 240cc injectors. maybe 165-170whp @ 42psi fuel.
@ 40psi fuel press. the sizing is around. & around 90% duty
310cc 200~220whp
370cc 220~280whp
440cc 280~330whp
550cc 330whp~380whp
660cc 380whp~425whp
720cc 425whp~475whp
880cc 475whp~525whp
980cc 525whp~600whp

alright, so what do you think 15lbs will put outbizoneoeh said:If your homeboy is gonnaa throw in some rods and pistons he can go a little higher than 7-8psi. Maybe 15lbs or so
Well its a Garrett GT28R turbo and he plans on tuning with chrome, he would like a ruff estamite so he can get the right injectorsbizoneoeh said:

oops... sorry i didnt see that post
heres the compressor map. off the top of my head i think the red line of a y8 is around 7800 correct me if im wrong... so after doing all the calculations heres where your turbo stands at redline
after futher calculations i figured out he will be at around 240hp at the crank @ redline... now someone that knows about pistons and rods can tell you if 240hp on the block will be too much stress. but you have to consider redline is where your car isnt in its power band so his max power will be higher than 240
