12 psi sounds quite high on a stock 1.6 engine.
Are you going to put a metal head gasket in?
I think the AVO kits run about 7psi.

Re the Head Gasket - yes I will be.
Re: 12 PSI - this is what the FMII kit runs on the same engine and
people seem to be able to run them like this day in / day out without
issue. I have done a lot of reading on the miata.net forums and 12PSI
seems to be regarded as safe - anything more however will need the
internals changed.
I will start with lower boost and slowly ramp it up.

nah, 12psi is no problem on stock engine, at least not in normal day

Hi Chris
The Purple people eater has:
a GTX VJ20 turbo (small-ish)
FMLink
ACT HD clutch + kevlar disc
RX7 550cc injectors
better brake pads and tyres
"Stage 1 lightening" - ie the easy stuff
12 psi, stock headgasket for >40k km now.
lotsa other stuff
... probably only 180-200 rear wheel horsies! (haven't dyno'd it,
rather spend the $$ on tyres!)
waiting to be installed:
VF23 ballbearing turbo (from a Subie Sti)
torsen
wideband o2 sensor
bigger intercooler
etc etc.
It also needs a better radiator, the stock one barely holds up even
under normal use!

Just like to say a big "thank you" to Frans (and anyone else involved)for organising yesterday's Northern run to West Brook winery.
Even tho it kept threatening rain for the most part we had a dry run with around 30 cars turning out.
Apparently a few people managed to get lost out in the back blocks of northwest Auckland, Annette and I had no such problems - we just found out it pays not to "follow the car in front" ...in case that car is not ACTUALLY part of the run :OD
Thanks again for a lovely day out,

David..
You dont need metal headgaskets for 12psi in any
modern engine that is well tuned...
In the "good old days" people used to throw a blower
on their v8 or wind up the boost on their turbo
without doing proper tuning. The massive amount of
Knock/detonation would spike the pressure in the
cylinder and blow the head gasket as it was the
weakest link. So the "fix" was to put in a metal head
gasket, but then they wondered why the pistons/rods
failed.
There is just about no engine that needs to have a
metal headgasket fitted to it for more power...(When
using stock internals, when you go to forged pistons
and 30psi boost thats another story) the only
exception i can think of is the toyota 7MGTE. which
has crap head clamping.)
The trick is to tune properly and keep the knock away.

Just like to say a big "thank you" to Frans (and anyone else involved)for organising yesterday's Northern run to West Brook winery.
Even tho it kept threatening rain for the most part we had a dry run with around 30 cars turning out.
Apparently a few people managed to get lost out in the back blocks of northwest Auckland, Annette and I had no such problems - we just found out it pays not to "follow the car in front" ...in case that car is not ACTUALLY part of the run :OD
Thanks again for a lovely day out,
Nix

David..
You dont need metal headgaskets for 12psi in any
modern engine that is well tuned...
In the "good old days" people used to throw a blower
on their v8 or wind up the boost on their turbo
without doing proper tuning. The massive amount of
Knock/detonation would spike the pressure in the
cylinder and blow the head gasket as it was the
weakest link. So the "fix" was to put in a metal head
gasket, but then they wondered why the pistons/rods
failed.
There is just about no engine that needs to have a
metal headgasket fitted to it for more power...(When
using stock internals, when you go to forged pistons
and 30psi boost thats another story) the only
exception i can think of is the toyota 7MGTE. which
has crap head clamping.)
The trick is to tune properly and keep the knock away.

TURBO BUILDs - was TURBO PICS POSTED
The set up we are going to be running is GT2554R, though maybe if the
customer wants to stretch his budget we could go with a GT2560R but not sure
its worth it for a street car.
FMIC, GTX injectors, walbro pump, rising rate FPR, Link ECU.
How much boost you can run is all relavent to the size of the turbo. From
what I understand 12psi is fine with the Trust kits and similar turbos.
