Stock D17 Turbo

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

I was wondering who has had success in running more than 4 psi on there D17? I didnt want to over boost it and withn my 4 pounds i am pushing 160whp. If someone could inform me on how much the stock engine could hold that would help.

You are kidding, right? You are a moron, SEARCH ALREADY!!!!

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

No i aint kidding i have had ppl tell me max of 8 pounds daily but who am i too believe

4psi @ 160whp??? are u crazy???
160whp more like 8psi.
WE have member running 12psi daily on a stock engine. I been running 8psi myself on stock motor.
Tunning is key.

If you just tried looking through the turbo faq, I'm sure you would find the answer to your question at least 4-5 times throughout. That is the reason it is there.

yep, maybe you'll stumble upon the long ram intake.

Blahman240 · 10-04-2005

I know a guy on here is running I think some where around 12 psi on stock everything for about a year now. He doesn't post as much anymore... The bastard... He'll post now, cause I'm talkin about him. lol.

Kyle23 · 10-04-2005

8 psi. but do a search... you'll learn alot more than just boost pressure

HyaBoosta · 10-04-2005

siharathb · 10-04-2005

hmmm interesting, if so what turbo kit do you have? Size of the turbo, what type of setup? manual or auto? because you know, at 4 psi, its kind of hard to believe with the small turbos that are available to our cars that you can be making 160 whp. Maybe thats the the crank?

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

No, 160 WHP tuned and dynoed at Ride Revolutions Johnson City Tennessee. It is a T3/T4. 2.75" intercooler piping. Big ass front mount intercooler. Automatic

jhonsok · 10-04-2005

Automatic huh..mines auto too..but i'm afraid of turbo being too hard on the transmission..especially auto..

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

ya i am going off on the railroad to work and after my first pay i am doing a tranny swap. They are supposedly capable of holding 9 PSI. I know for a fact i need a upgraded valve body kit. My friends lexas 1s300 is an auto too and he has 297 WHP and when the tranny changes gears it pops same with mine.

ajhdragon · 10-04-2005

wow 160whp on 4psi is really really hard to believe. im running 7psi but not sure of my numbers im completly street tunned. what fuel system are you useing, what abotu a management system. got a dyno chart to post up?

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

I would have to go back to my house to get the dyno chart. I have 440cc RC injectors, 255lph fuel pump, Aem fuel rail and pressure regulator. I am using a V-afc2 on my injectors.

What do you have fuel wise?
I was running 6 pounds untuned and without a fuel system and was not even close to even putting out what i am.

0-70 i am side-by-side with a G35 or 350Z
But after that they take off and leave me not too far behind

ajhdragon · 10-04-2005

right now im useing teh VAFCII to engage my vtec but not for tunning. and an SF fuel system with stock injectors gettign 440cc soon. would you be able to post your maps for the VAFCII. might have to try it out if you do. and im guessing you have a return fuel line too.

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

Dont have a return yet dont need one. The regulator is just for the pressure gauge. I can give you my map but it would have to be in the same PSI and atmospheric pressure level or close or it will be off. I dont like using my vafc2 to control the vtec i turned the optional settin where you can adjust it off. So now it engages at 3000 automatically

turboengnr · 10-04-2005

what type of fuel pump are you using?

you have a large fuel pump, large injectors, and only using a vafc to tune it?

Also, how did you get a fuel pressure regulator on a returnless fuel system?

civic01vtec · 10-04-2005

I have been running 8-10psi daily for 18 months on a completely stock motor.

civic01vtec · 10-04-2005

btw.......i am gonna leave this open to answer the last question by turboengnr.

No more flaming and telling him to search.

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

walbro, Ya just the Vafc2 was used to controll the injectors

i am not using the regulator it is only hooked up to read pressure. No return line on it yet

robo1040 · 10-04-2005

i run 10 psi daily (on motor #2)
sf fuel system
no tune
manual trans
stock everything except for headstuds

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

what do u mean on motor 2?

turboengnr · 10-04-2005

i still dont understand how you can hook up a regulator on a non-return line car. Did you simply cap off the return end of the regulator?

I am really trying not to flame you. I just want to give benefit of the doubt and hear your answer.

Turbociv · 10-04-2005

There is no benifit for it . I did a look after it back into the fuel rail so it would tell pressure
