Most psi DD on stock na6
Trying to figure out what people have seen or heard about from others. Whats the most psi ran on a stock motor coming from the earlier miata motors. Na6e I believe they are. I know 5-7lbs of psi is safe but could 10 last quite a while? maybe even moar!!!??? ha! I know its not safe to up boost over 5-7 psi without tune but what about the people who dare to do so. F*** the rules. Go hard or go home right!
Lets hear it!

I heard from my broham that 4-5 psi is the max that the stock head gasket can take. He actually had a friend try 6psi and next thing he knew there was water coming out of the tail pipe and oil from the intake. Maybe with some rpm head studs you could push it to 7psi. If you can find a 82-89 head then you could probably push it up to 9-10 psi on a safe tune like using the power card. I would also look into the e-cool feature that one of the venders on miata.net sales. If the power card is running rich you can use fuel ratio's of e85 to lean it out, kind of like a 2 stroke. I see your running 305's that should be good for 300whp in that s kit. Are you also running 195's on a 15x8 with 0 offset?

Eh, My 15s are on 7 in. wide. fail. but I got em for a steal. When I first installed the kit it would creep up to 7 sometimes 8 psi running straight out of the downpipe. I guess with the controlled backpressure (exhaust installed) it can actually regulate correctly. I havent had any leaks or headgasket probs thus far. 25oo mile later...
thinking about blowing it up for the funk of it. need more pull... :/

You guys are full of ****.
Honestly, if you upgrade the head gasket to one of those paper gaskets like I did, you'll be safe to 18 psi like I am. I've been DDing 18 psi and tracking it like this with no issues on 305cc injectors. I'm also running e-cool.

We prefer the term "mods".
These are all complete **** responses, the stock engine is good to a certain amount of torque, which is when the rods bend. IIRC, it's roughly 225rwtq on a 1.6, 250 on a 1.8. Those figures could be off by 25 torques though. On a big turbo this could be 1psi, on a small turbo this could be 15.
The point of all this is you're not searching, or you're not searching correctly. The question has been asked numerous times.

(Posting from my phone.)
Id argue its both 250rwtq for both motors considering they have the same rods

cant tell me that this isnt good for the now! this all I was digging for. but no you got selfemployed bosses like 18psi who just want to rain on parades in every thread. no life... purified party pooper! lol
and for the record. the searchnoob doesnt always do the job . unless youre unemployed and have nothing else to do like the one guy I just mentioned.

Dang, this has been covered in great detail and depth.
limit your block to under 250rwtq and you'll be fine.
boost level does not matter. boost is a measurement of restriction, it doesn't really determine how much power you are making.
a tiny turbo with 15psi might make 260rwtq but only 200rwhp.
a large turbo with 15psi might make 200rwtq but 260rwhp.
torque is what pushes down your pistons, and too much is what bends your rods. The rods are weak at around 250rwtq.

1. Remove Headgasket.
2. Add High Temp RTV (increases compression but turns the engine into an interference engine so be careful with timing).
3. Get mad bitches.
4. ??????
5. Profit.
I always lul when it is always somehow everyone elses fault for people being lazy. Go here noob:
