Thread: 10:1 On Boost?

^^agreed my only worries are the heat from 18psi and rings going bye bye. Not really a worry though I got a spare motor. Just a hastle to swap.

sorry to bring up an old thread.

were you guys running standard head gaskets though?

Yup for me. I'm pretty sure everyone else too.

thats awesome!

what ecu were you running?

I've got the early version of Calum's Realtime ecu. You could go a number of different routes without getting too complicated/expensive.

nice!

my old 10:1 turbo setup was running emange blue and it didnt last long

mine lasted lil over a year i believe. it died due to the accessory belt coming off the water pump due to ****ty aft ur pulleys. i needed to get home so i drove it and it over heated and got rod knock. this is years ago though.



i ran my motor completely stock although it did have s4 cams in it.

t25 tmic, s4's, jwt ecu, 370inj @ 4 bar, all at 12psi or so i made 240whp and like 220 or 230 tq. that 10:1 was assume n/a and turbo.

if it wasnt for the belt coming off and me needing to get home i would most likely still be driving that 10:1 !

stratton.

I think this is because the wastegate isn't opening.

at 17 psi the wastegate was still opening but not much at all. Ive seen what a t25 does when the wastegate doesnt open. Your talking 20+ psi spike. Not good either. haha

im running this motor now, 10:1, tomei cams, ported head, bottom mount gt30r on 15psi and its holding like a champ! i think my lands are starting to go cause when i had 370 and a t28 i was hit 13.0 afr and when i caught it it was to late but no worry to me cause compression is still on point and it doesnt smoke....but since then i added the bigger turbo with msds and a jwt ecu....thing runs nice and rich for the safe side. i think ima go up to 20psi this weekend to see how it goes.....
