Hi, in the next month or two I will be getting S14 sr swap done. I am using a walbro fp, greddy v-spl fmic, blitz ss bov, custom 3" dp, uras rs catback. How much boost you think I should run keeping it at a safe level and how much power you think I will be making at the wheels? Remember safe boost levels, for daily driving, I don't plan on boosting more than 14psi.

Choose whatever boost level you feel like for driving around.

I run 11psi, but that's on 91 octane out west. A few of my friends back east are running 14psi daily on their SR20's.

With those mods @ 14psi I'd guess a conservative 230-240rwhp.

Got a dyno graph of your 230? At stock boost, I'm guessing that you're closer to 200.

Yep. I'd have to agree with everyone else and call BS at 230rwhp @ 7psi.

Hell, 200rwhp @ 7psi seems a bit on the optimistic side to me.

S14 SR on 14 psi with those mods should make 250 - 270rwhp.

You will have maxxed out AFM and injectors at that point, so what how hard you push it.
