he needs injectors to turn it up that high. He probably needs a fuel pressure regulator with that big pump. He'll need an s-afc with the injectors.. and something to tune with like a logger to go along with the egt. Get to work! lol.

 

Anything over 16 PSi becomes iffy - it really depends on the condition of the car and how all the systems are working together. The only real way to know is to get a couple of diagnostic tool you didn't list - an EGT gauge (vital!) and a datalogger. On a 1G you can use the datalogger to keep tabs on knock, and that's one major indicator of whether the car likes what you're doing or not. The EGT will tell you if you are burning hot enough to damage the engine. Also very important.

 

short answer: no

 

No. Especially on pump gas with a stock IC. Tick, tick, tick....

bah "tick tick tick" is what the injectors do, it's more like "bang, kaklump...kaklump...kaklump."

 

On my setup w/out an fmic I would get alot of knock if I ran more than 16psi on the stock sidemount. That is with 93 octane.

 

Tick, tick, tick as in it's a ticking time bomb... just a matter of time till it blows .

 

You can do it on 100 octane with low(10-15 count) levels of knock if everything is working as it should and your timing doesnt dip below 15 deg. You will need some sort of hacked maf or dime store fcd as you will hit FC hard at that level.

 

How do you know if your car is knocking? Do you needa pocketlogger?

I did it fine on stock SMIC with the same mods as listed at 19psi w/100 octane. If eh has a small WG though, watch for boost creep as it could be deadly. Get an EGT first though.
