how much can i boost my 2.2 on stock internals? just wondering because i plan on going turbo in about a month...i heard about 7 psi but that seems low

bump

 

search...look for "how much power..." not boost... boost =/= power...

sorry, i just answered this question like 2 hrs ago in a diff thread...

 

no about 7-9 psi i believe is right so yea 7 is basically right

 

Its very based on power, Each turbo produces different amounts of power. Set a Hp goal, seems like 250 is the LIMIT.

 

all depends dude... im at 13psi from the M62...

 

supercharger not turbo...different setup

 

Stock internals can handle about 7 psi. It might seem low but remember, boost does not equal power. Boost is just the restriction of air. 7 psi will yield close to the same results as a stock LSJ, depending on how well it's tuned.

 

Yeah that's supercharged, he's asking bout turbo

 

i know. im just saying different compressors will make different power at the same PSI. This goes for different sized turbos as well. It depends which turbo he is gonna use.

 

Hunter, have you takin your car to the stip yet?

Im now becoming very interested in superchargeing my auto 2.2 Seems like very good power for for not too much cash.

 

Its not how much booost...its how much power and the 2.2 can handle 250 before rods go. Look at my sig im right there runnin 10lbs.

 

so needless to say, hunter may very well be at the limits of what is considered "safe"?

 

Mike you need to build that bottom end so you can rip the 2.2 actually

 

Its in the plans

 

Depends how he drives. He can have it over 250 but not be on it a lot or the rods will say see ya later

I was going to build my motor up but then i saw an SS i really like for sale so all my focus is on getting rid of my car and buying that SS. lol

 

well, if its over 250 and you cant "be on it alot", then that may be to mcuh stress during a quarter mile run? Id have to take it to the track and do a couple speed runs, etc.

Prolly take a good solid weekend of work to put the supercharger/turbo kit on Im assuming?

 

You can get your car tuned Vince will sent you up with something that your car would be safe

 

Im in the process of selling all my honda **** so i should be sitting on about $1K. soo, if i cant get a used supercharger kit / turbo kit im gonna get that and see what I can do.

A 250hp 2.2 auto should be somewhat fun and quick.

 

auto= not fun

 

ehh. im not worried about it being auto. Id just want to do a few 1/4 mile runs. so consitency is the issue.

Plus i do alot of driving late at night, when im dead tired, and wouldnt be able to deal with 5spd. I know that for a fact.

 

I got an auto now and i hate it. thats why im trying to get an SS/SC so i can have a 5-speed and fun

 

yea, there are definatley times i hate the auto. but seeing as how im a base model, it would be pointless for me to trade it in. Its literally worth nothing. SO i wanna supercharge/turbo just to have a fun little DD. then someday down the road get a sportbike or a faster car ( SS/TC, MS3, WRX) to have some fun with.

 

You don't have a base model otherwise it would be a five speed. Automatic is a 1k option

 

I mean, aside from having an auto. everything is roll up window, non power lock, no abs. basic radio. Its as base as it gets practically except it has a auto trany which is ghey. but oh well

 

theres a good example
i hammer on this thing daily... lol
im sure the stock rods can take it, but yes, i am at what I consider to be the safe limit of our cars. 283bhp is a lot fr nitrous..and like i said, ive seen near 300whp (so 330bhp-ish) on stock rods. I would never reccomend that, as im sure they wouldnt last more than a week. But if they can take it at 330bhp, 265bhp seems pretty damn safe for consistant runs.
