Hey, this is my first post, so go easy on me.
I'm looking to get a 91 Eclipse GSX with the following installed:
-wiseco .020 over pistons on stock (1G) rods
-lightened, knifedged crank
-clevite 77 main + rod bearings
-balancer shafts removed
-BCS restrictor removed
-silencer removed
-hacked air can
-ARP main + head studs
-MLS head gasket
-stage 3 TMO chip eprom
My question is are there any problems with this set up? He's running 11 psi of boost right now, what could this engine handle? (with proper fuel management upgrades of course) I'm looking to use this as a daily driver, so I was wondering if putting a dual stage boost controller on her (to switch between street/strip boost levels) would be appropiate? Any recommendations as far as boost levels, injector size, turbo set up, etc would be appreciated. I'd be satisfied with running 12s in the 1/4, but, if possible, I'd like to get as much power from the stock turbo as possible. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
 
It's the stock turbo (stock on a 5 speed 91 GSX), I'm not exactly sure which one that is. (I'm new to DSMs) 14b?
 
Yeah thats a 14b, and some really good times have been run on that turbo, check out Dsmtimes.org. If your looking to upgrade check out the advanced performance forum, theres a large topic over there on the best pump gas turbo.
 
I'm actually looking to keep the 14b for now, and try to squeeze as much power out of it as I can. I was just wonder what boost level I could safely run with stock injectors, intercooler, and with the internals I mentioned in the first post. I've read that 18psi is safe, would that apply even with the upgrades the engine currently has? What size injectors, intercooler, turbo, etc will I need to get into 12s? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get a good idea as to my current limits and how to remove them. :thumb:
