You gais, srsly u guys. What if I give this thing 10 PSI? Is it going to shit itself?

I don't even remember what else needs to be done, assuming I don't give a shit about engine blowing.

Bigger injectors / more pressure on fuel rail and a tune?

it goesVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BA VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE VEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and wakes up all your neighbors and makes the small block chevy drivers shake their heads in disgust

You get more power.

Getting it done is an enitre nothing thing, dont bother.

You throw a rod right through an old lady.

>>15450482
You gain some power and spend too much money for the gains to be worth it

>>15450482

Is this calculator even remotely correct?

>>15450506

At what point though?

>>15450508
>>15450511
>>15450513
>>15450503

These are all true, asking hypothetically for reasons.
>>
>>15450532
it will blow somewhere between 0PSI and the point where its worth turboing it.
>>
>>15450549

Why do Type Rs/SIs (whatever they are called now) take well to boost?
>>
>>15450601
They really dont, people just dump dosh into them so they will.
>>
>>15450482

engine goes BOOM

The questions is always "What else did they do to the engine?" though.

>>15450637

The thing is that everyone is too lazy to do a swap. Also, there are magical methods of bypassing it when not in use.
>>
>>15450663
Obviously they did tons of work on it. Same with any 550hp 4banger.
>>
>>15450482
around 200hp safely, not really worth it for the price you will pay in turbo parts better off slapping those turbo parts on a si and getting 300hp

catch my drift?
