i know people who run 10 pounds on the smic

 

t25's are slow. just boost 15, youll be ok

 

14psi max. Dont go beyond that on the stock T25.

 

14psi on SMIC is ok? or stock t25 cant go more than 14psi but i still need use FMIC?

 

i've heard of people running 12 on the smic

 

t25's are slow. just boost 15, youll be ok

haaa :rotflmao :rotflmao :rotflmao
blow it up buy a new one. :thumbsup

i wouldnt go over 12psi with a stock headgasket.i know people with a stock SMIC and gaskets pushing 14 though. but thats just me. im prone to blowing things up easliy. just my luck huh? but yea deff. nothing over 14. you'll max your shit out or blow your turbo.

 

14psi, but at 14psi there are other things you need to be worried about.

 

All the FAQ i have read state that 10psi should be the max on a sidemount (running 14psi on a stock sidemount is not a good idea. You should go up to 14psi if you have a FMIC with the stock turbo.

 

i ran 15lbs with a front mount last year for about 3 months, then shit blew up

 

i ran 15lbs with a front mount last year for about 3 months, then shit blew up

specifically, what shit?

 

sorry, i should have been more specific, the number 4 piston, it coulda sucked cause i was at the track but luckily one of the people in my car club had a trailer

 

10psi is safe for running on the sidemount. Anything over causes heatsoak. I ran 12psi on sidemount for a few months and you could feel the difference after driving a while. Heavy Throttle claims the T25 is good for 13-15psi but i dont take mine over 14psi with the FMIC. Only run that when im out cruising around. If you dont care about the T25 you can run over 15 untill it blows up. I hit 21psi once when my wastegate vaccum line came off. Pulled pretty insane for a second then i let off. Ive been running 14psi now for over 3 months without any ill effects from it. 10psi is what i daily drive on though. The T25 is better for low end power than people think. I spool quicker and take the lead on my friends T28 SR20s with the same mods. It just looses boost after 6000rpm which sucks. I say keep the T25 healthy untill you can afford something better. Dont abuse it.

 

ive heard 12 psi is the limit for the sidemount...i run 11 psi daily with no noticeable problems

 

is the stock bov can handle 10 psi? what manual boost controller is best for sr20?

 

vicegrips.

 

excellent choice, ive used those before too

 

What if i was running a T28? Would the max psi be the same for the side mount and front mount? I'm planning on upgrading in the near future just want to know my limits for the side mount. I'm thinking 12 for the side mount to just feel safe about the dyno and 15 on front mount? I'm not sure what the t28 can handle....

 

what T28 specifically.

 

It came off of a 89 300ZX and I was informed that it supports up to 350HP and up to a 3.0 engine it's a garrett

 

dont the 300s have T25s?

 

what manual boost controller is best for sr20?

Hook up your Boost Solenoid if you have it... It should spike to 11psi then drop to 9psi... (usually come with a motorset/clip... its on the little bracket which holds the Ignitor + AIV control) has a plug on it and 2 little nipples for Vaccum Lines

Most people dont realize a CA/SR or even RB "I think" ECU controls boost pressure "or can control boost" so if you have say a Blitz Access ECU which has been re-tuned for say 12psi... it will not hit 12psi unless you have the Boost Solenoid hook up to get the signal from the ECU

 

i have a GReddy PRofec Spec II boost controller, stilll messing with the settings not really knowing too much about turbos.

 

It's definatly a t28, here is the eBay link of where i got it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...tors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7996390937&sspagename=STRK:MERFB:IID

it dosn't matter how much boost. It's how much power your motor is pushing. Around 300whp, i'd be upgrading the head gasket to be safe. Anything under that, stock head gasket will be fine.

most people say 10-12psi for the SMIC because A. the BOV will start to leak and B. heat soak. When i had an SMIC, i ran 14psi for a while, but of course this was durring the winter.
