f20a boost.

[Alex EX]

i just wanted to know how much i can push on a 14b safely? i have a f20a dohc, front mount intercooler, 450cc injectors and getting it dynotuned with a s-afc2 as soon as my car gets done... can i do 12 psi safely or is that pushing it?

I thought you had a chipped ecu... I would say 10psi max with the 14b, too small and too much heat. And your getting a front mount now?

[Alex EX]

yeah with a front mount i can only do 10 psi? my ecu is chipped and i got the safc on top of it also.

IMO theres no real need for the safc......just get the chipped ecu dyno tuned and itl be fine...

and 10 psi isnt even the greatest idea w/ a 14b....id stick w/ the stock wastegate setting 7.5-8 ........but go ahead w/ 10 if you want

[mondojackal]

i agree with mike. 10 psi with that little snail is going to make a lot of extra heat. its gotta spin like crazy to make that kinda boost. after all, better safe than sorry.

[Alex EX]

arent they most efficient at 15 psi?

[Mike]

arent they most efficient at 15 psi?

14bs??????

no

[gdout90accord]

if you got a chipped ecu already, theres no need for the SAFC.
i would start tunning on 8psi then if you got really good tune on 8psi i would tune at 8psi

good luck on the boost project

maybe on the chevy corsica 3 cylinder motor. Our motor is too big for the 14b to be anywhere near efficient. come on now

my grandma had a corsica.... 3 cyl FTW!

[Alex EX]

hmm im gonna do 10 psi for the hell of it anyways lol

got the car back from the shop, the turbine housing is ported (i bought it from bullseye performance), o2 housing ported, 3 inch exhaust, no cat. not tuned yet but its pushing 10-11 psi right now... i cant turn the boost down anymore, will my car last at 10 or 11 if i pour in octane booster every fill up and good tuning?

just dont boost on it at all. Disconnect a chargepipe completely for added safety.
