Any amount of boost you want.

As for how much power the bottom end can handle, is the real question you should be asking -
The sleeves have been known to handle 400hp+ and the pistons 300hp give or take tuning factors.

Boost is relevant to specific turbos, not engines.

well thats what i was going to say

It depends on your selection of parts, the quality of your tune, your engine's condition, and your driving style.

In general, with a properly sized turbo, tuned well, on a healthy engine, the working assumption is usually 6-10psi... but only use that as a guideline. Don't bolt a turbo on and assume 10psi is going to last forever. Chances are good that your ringlands will fail sooner or later anyway, even if conditions are ideal.

it all matters to the size of the turbo. a smaller turbo will need more psi of boost to satisfy you, while a bigger turbo will need less psi.

DSM:

14b - 12psi
16g - 9 psi
20g - 4 psi

will equal you around the 220-250 whp range

ok simple enough, appreciate the feedback everybody i know its been a while but the turbo project is near completion should be posting pics pretty soon

That's a very general guideline above. Good for a basic plan, LOTS of things come into play regarding final power production besides the turbo size.


I didn't realize the 20g is that much bigger, though! Wow.

almost complete

well my turbo project is near completion and when all is done ill post up more pics once again i appreciate all the feedback
