How much boost can you safely run? Aren't these engines already pretty high compression? I would love to supercharge but it would seem like these engines are not good candidates for boost.
I agree...I believe the compression is quite high as well. If it gets boosted, you'll probably only be able to put about 6 psi in there. Unless you strip it down and rebuild it for less compression or use a water injection setup. My miata runs 12 psi of boost with an intercooler and it's fine...but the factory compression ratio is around 8.5.

It would be great if I had a clue, but let's face it, that's just not gonna happen.
