Boosting an MK4
Hey so I had a quick question, with bpu parts on a 94 supra with stock tt's, 6speed, and stock intercooler, my question is, is 14,15 psi safe with the stock intercooler on 93 octane and what kind of hp will I be looking at with bpu mods at these boost levels thanks in advance!

16psi is safe* with fresh 93 (r+m)/2 octane fuel with the oem ecu, but no more. 17psi+ will slowly but surely damage the engine and reduce compression. *Disclaimer: Ymmv :) |
It has 107,000 miles on it I'm not sure on compression but it drives great, was never beatin on it pulls very strong , no turbo smoking or anything like that. If you could give me just a ball park average until I get compression tested but what I'm mainly concerned about the psi my stock intercooler can take than how much hp I'm getting

The stock SMIC can easily take 15 or 16 psi. Although the end-tanks are plasic, you could hold them on with a metal tie-down strap if you had to (it's been tried and it works - but only necessary at 20psi+ on race fuel). |
