So, with the alchohol/water injection kit you can run 11 psi safely on stock internals, right? But how safe is it for the motor in the long run?

i wouldnt do on a constant basis... thats a track only setting in my eyes on stock internals... some will argue, but some are more risk taking with thier cars than i am.. i personally am gonna push 5-7psi till i get my bottom end built, even with the alcohol injection... maybe 8psi once i get that... DONT drive around on 11 psi man... you wont like what happens, not to mention it will get old buying $3.50 a gallon methanol every couple of days to stay safer...

i run 12 psi daily and am fine... i dont see whats wrong with it as long as there's no detonation...

you guys have to understand, you only make 11 psi when you hold your foot to the floor. just doing everyday driving, i see about 4-5 psi. you dont have to have your foot the the floor all the time, it isnt a geo metro. If you are making 200+ whp and you still keep your foot to the floor, you probably shouldnt have a turbo (for the safety of everyone around you)

i understand the wide open throttle vs. regular acceleration argument.. im just trying to make sure people err on the sied of safety... the less blow up civics in the world, the cheaper engines are for guys like me that wanna build one for big boost... LOL

yea... i think something bad happened... i boost spiked at 18psi just 5 min ago and now my engine is making a "tick tick tick tick" noise that is considerably loud.... any thoughts as to what it is? loose valve, rocker arm, etc? help!! car still runs fine but i think im going to baby it for a while until i figure out what just happened...

its the same noise one would hear if the engine was low on oil.... but its filled right...

Check the valve lifters too. They make a ticking sound when the engine is low on oil. It could be a lot of things though.
