Hey guys, basically like the title says I'd like to know what is the safe max boost I can run on pretty much stock S14 SR? That would be stock IC, injectors, MAF and 300zx fuel pump. I want to raise it to about 10psi but not sure if my stock side mount will be up to task (can not afford front mount right now). Again it's an S14 SR. Any suggestions?

10psi would be fine, and I feel personally that the SR starts really being fun around there too.

Yeah that's what I thought but wasn't 100% sure about it. Anyone else want to suggest something?

Yep, I daily my car at 14 psi and it started feeling slow to me. So I wanted to try it out at 19 psi but it shot up to 21 psi. It put a huge grin on my face

yes, yes it does, 2 more weeks and my oiling system and upper oil pan gasket will be replaced so I can drive hard again

So if I were to add a front mount how much psi can I push before stock injectors will start hating.

I've seen as high as 16 psi with a S15 turbo on stock injectors. I wouldn't recommend that though. 13 psi should be safe.
