Up the boost?

[1fast97gsx]

I have a 1997 gsx with 16g ported turbo and a 255 fuel pump along with a gforce ecu. I hooked up an air / fuel guage and it said I was running rich all teh way across the powerband at 18 psi still. Ca I raise the boost to 19 or 20 then? As long as it doesn't run lean? The car sees to pull all the way to redline and I don't feel as if I am overworking it. On the guage in the rich section it reads 1/2 way through all the way across .... can I raise the boost to 19 or 20 as long as my air / fuel ratio is rich or even? Thanks.

I wouldn't on pump gas.

don't turn up the boost cuz the a/f reads rich, get it logged, get larger injectors and tune. if ur logs are getting more then 22*, then bump the boost up a bit

 

[1fast97gsx]

yea ... getting injectors in less than 24 hours.

data logger are an infinately important tool when it comes to upping the boost. May seem expensive but it will tell you waaaaaaayyy more than a a/f guage ever could.

The blinky is a waste of a gauge pod. Get the logger, you won't regret it. Like the other guy said, you need to see your timing advance to get an idea if you're knocking if you're gonna run that much boost.
