I have a 95 3sgte that will be going into my car very soon and I was wondering what the max boost pressure is that the engine can run on. I though I saw somewhere that you can run the engine on 15psi comfortably and that is the max boost, but maybe I am wrong. Also is it safe to run the engine on 93 octane or do you have to use 103?

Keep in mind that a good free-flowing exhaust is important too. Try not to run more that 12psi until a car has a 3" mandrel-bent exhaust and a high-density intercooler. Then you're good for 16, 17psi a little more if you're running an ST205 or ST215.
I know this one guy (not a swap I did) who is running an ST205 engine in his MR2, good supporting mods and stock turbo, running 20psi and 300+whp. Been running for a few years with no major problems. -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Jan 2, 2008 - 7:39 PM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
