what boost pressure to run? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #78279 10 posts Started by orlando_gt4
ok guys the day has come im going to raise the boost on my st205 with a manual boost controller.
i was wondering if 1.1bar is safe to run for me? i mean will it be ok for the pistons, turbo,ecu and engine??

not alot of mods just have blitz sonic power induction kit, blitz nur spec exhaust, and blitz dump valve..

so is 1.1 safe for me or no? ( going to lag the chargecooler aswell soon)

Yes 1.1 bar should be just fine.
Just keep an eye on how the car behaves. If you feel any hesitation than turn down the boost.

Hi,

1,1bar is a safe maximum, 1,2bar boost is a critical maximum in front ot the EGT

KEEP COOL UNDER PRESSURE
ok sweet thanks guys and the thing is im not a mad man im not constantly going to run 1.1 all the time and ruin the car only when needed lol
so im goin to dyno it anyway before the boost controller and after what do u guys think i should be expecting bhp wise ??
Hi,

this depends on the mods but on a stock car is should give you ~270PS (DIN)
(280-290PS with further mods)

KEEP COOL UNDER PRESSURE
ah well with the blitz induction kit and blitz exhaust i think i should easily see 270 ps..
so just to be clear boosting to 1,1 and not driving like an idiot is no problem for the pistons or anything else correct?
Just keep up with maintenance on the celi and it should be perfectly fine. I'm boosting at 1 bar all year round and the car is happy with it! smile.gif
