psi on stock 1.6?
#4
the key to any engine is tuning... back when i had a z and would hang around on the 350z forums there were people blowing their motors with stock greddy twin turbo kits 5.5 psi. Then there were people with 450whp and a AWESOME tune that were daily driving it and raping the **** out of the car with no problems (except for the dreaded POS Viscous LSD's they come with)

I think Andy had his 1.6L at or over 300whp for several years. Not many go over the 250 mark without new internals. I think around 300 is probably about as much as i'd want to run without new stuff internally.

Don't forget, that it's not just the engine that you have to consider. North of 200hp is where you have to start worrying about the tranny, diff, overheating, bigger brakes, etc...
Granted there are a few who have taken the stock 1.6 to great heights such as Ric at RM, but then again he blew that engine shooting for over 400hp as he was testing the limits of a junkyard motor, but I don't think many of us are in the same boat as him.

brgracer.... what you have right now is what im shooting for. That is WAY MORE than enough. 250whp on a car that weighs 2200 lbs is ridiculously fast. My Z had 255whp with a couple bolt ons and that thing weighed 3200 lbs. Boy was it fast now I can only imagine that power with 1000lbs less weight.
