does anyone know how much boost the stock block on a first gen can handle?

I HATE THIS QUESTION ARHHHHhhh

if the car is on stock fuel then 15-17PSI and that is it BUTTTTTTTt if you have tons of mods im sure you can get like high 20s out of it

Not a very good first post noob.
It's not the block you need to worry about as far as psi. The question is a really silly question because you can have a worn out motor or you could have one in great shape..........we don't know which one you have.

This is such a noob question and it always leads to.......how high can I turn up the boost, question.
Leave your car alone, before you do anything to modify it, make sure that it is in good running condition first and do a tune up, change the timing belt, etc.

That's better.

Looking at those engine mods, I will say that you are fine to run possible high 11's, mid 12's, or low 13's. It all depends on how effectively that small 16 was ported (not all porting is good), not to mention YOU as a driver. At this point it's not a matter of capable the motor is, it's a matter of how capable that s16G is. Your motor can handle what that turbo can give ;)

16 and his first car.

You kids are spoiled!!!!:D
My first car was an '85 (I think) Mercury Capri 5 speed and gutted cat.

my first was a 90 gs that had the odometer rolled back and it had 190k when i got rid of it. ( thanks to carfax)

So woody do you know him???


BTW my first car was a 86 4runner with rotted threwfloor boards lol then went to a 89 z24 caviler then the 2000 GS then the 2002 GT spyder and now the EVO lol look how my cars have evolved to the Evolution

That looks like a nice car!.....Im about to turn 21 and still driving my first vehicle,"still yet 2 get the eclipse on the road"...my 90' model Toyota pickup...wouldnt trade it or sell it for anything.

funny I am 22.. be 23 in the end of may and I have a hand full of cars already

Yea ive had a good amount af cars also at 22. Have three right now actually, haha.

And that is one damn nice 1g. :)Id say on that small 16g only running about 21psi is good. The efficiency ends somewhere around 24psi i believe
