[nightstalker]

does anyone know how many pounds of boost a stock ls can safely hold?

10 psi with a very good tune and a 7200 revlimit

lolol, from a GT42R turbo??? :rolleyes: or a T25??




how about, lets try... instead of ''pounds'', how about ''horsepower'' instead??



anywhere from 200 - 220 i'd say, VERY safely.

A stock LS should safely hold 8 pounds on a AVERAGE sized turbo. And I've seen them STOCK on 8 pounds making 245whp, it blew in 2 years. Driving it hard as fuck.

i cracked a sleeve at 12psi

[blown_ss]

i've seem them do 14psi all stock. why dont you google it? there has to be thousands of stock ls turbos out there.

[silverDA]

safely 6.

the more money you spend on tune the more boost you can handle. i'v seen stock ls on 18psi making close too 300+whp. i would stay nice and low with 8 pound if your not stacking incase motor blow

Every motor is going to vary, there is no number. That's the chance you when boosting it.

its a T3 T4 turbo

[Theycall_Metue]

stay with 8psi + tune

[nightstalker]

the ecu that i bought is a obd0 pr4 and the dude i bought i from said it is already tuned with turbo edit. but other people are telling me that i should just convert to obd1 and go from there what do u guys think

[SLo_MKIII]

said it is already tuned with turbo edit
save yourself time/money/shot in the foot and do it yourself so your not going off what someone else said

[scttydb411]

you would be better to convert to obd1 and tune. hp wise 100-120whp over stock and it should be very reliable...210-230whp total as long as it's healthy. that can be anywhere from 6-10psi depending on turbo.
