Fuel?

You need to log for knock. Wait until you get dsmlink.

LIek the first reply asked. What do you have for fuel support? Bigger pump, is it re-wired, bigger injectors, AFPR, anything? IF not wait for DSMlink

yea everything else is stock...thats why im not sure if i should turn my boost up or not...but after i get dsmlink what should i do?

Log for knock and timing, while upping the boost little, by little.

In my oppinion no. Rewire the fuel pump. Once you get DSMLink measure your IDC and knock.

There may be some fiddle room. Best of luck. Your limited by your fuel or lack there of.

I run 9.5 psi on my big 16g with stock injectors. I know because of my Wide band that at 9.5 psi I am rich 9:1 ... which is still stock. Stock ECU runs rich. I would research tuning and using DSMLink alot before upping the boost. Get it running great at 11 psi. then work on increasing the boost a little at a time.

And by no means am I good tuner as I really haven't adjusted my DSMLink.

I am running 14 psi and it pulls good. Stock turbo, IC piping, turbo back, k&n intake, greddy type rs bov, stock fuel. I recently put it back to stock psi for I got the greddy type s now and it doesn't hold boost good. Good luck.

Flat answer, you can up the boost to 13-14 psi. That's the most common answer you'll read. Just wait till you get your link and fuel support before you up it up. Shit I'd be happy with a gsx.

 

[97gsx_zeclipse]

Yes, gsx is crazy off the line. Yeah you should be fine with 13-14 psi. I hear that alot with dsmer's around here in southern cal.

You can only adjust the timing by a little, so i wouldn't worry too much about it, but i would get more fule into that engine then a nice tunning. Good luck.
