What's a safe boost for a B16 w/ lower comp. head gasket?

[rd122481]

What's a safe boost level for a Jap spec, non OBD B16 w/ an inline pro head gasket that drops compression to 9.1? Oh... I have stock internals. All replies are appreciated, Thanks for your help.

I'd say 5-6 psi. but don't run on stock internals forever, it's very wise to upgrade them (pistons).

What other upgrades do you have? Not just the head gasket right. They're somewhat important when gauging safe boost levels...err, make that, safe power levels. Boost is relative.

stay under 300 hp with decent tuning and you're be money.

5-6psi? That sounds kinda low with lower compression pistons. I was under the impression that you could get 5-6psi with the stock pistons. So do the math for the effective compression and I would think that you could do 8psi@9:1 and it be the same as 6psi@10.1
