Maximum boost for autocross on stock 1.6
Quick question, just dyno tuned my 1.6L and it put down 243hp @ 11.5-12psi. Do you guys think I should turn the boost down to maybe 10psi for autocross/ daily driving? 8psi yielded ~ 200hp
The engine is stock, freshened up with Mazda parts around 15000 miles ago. I have a stock 5 speed transmission as well. I don't have money to be blowing on rebuilding the engine, I hope it lasts this season, maybe 10-15 autocrosses.
For the record, I am running a sr20 t25 turbo, water to air cooler.
Thanks!
