Thread: GTi-r vs. GT28r

On a GT28R I made 290hp 300tq spike 20lbs setteling at around 16-17psi with a DET. I have cams now and and guessing around 320whp. Boost falls hard off at higher rpms though. STI's are a must or some other bigger injector.

It makes sense to me because he said he was running a gti-r t-28 and msd 50 lb injectors. I assume that since he is running msd injectors he is running at 3bar fuel pressure. Since he specified which turbo and injectors he was running, i gave him an idea what boost level he could run on that setup. I don't understand why what I said makes no sense. Please enlighten me.

I have an aem uego to monitor my afr's and the car will be tuned. 300whp is what Im looking to make, so I don't see any issues with using 50lb msd injectors.

Should be no issue at 300whp with a t28 and 50 lb injectors. You are going to near topping out that turbo so it may take 18lbs or so to get there, it depends on the tune. If you want that turbo to last at 300whp you should look into an external wastegate to keep the temps down.

@totaled200ser. Go back and read what my post said

Again; what you are saying is incorrect as injectors are not measured by how much psi you can run, but by how much fuel they can flow (vol/min). Your statement is misleading!

I understand what you are saying and it is totally correct. I was just saying in his situation that I could make an educated guess since I knew the turbo and had a good idea on fuel pressure. I understand that psi on one turbo and psi on another turbo will make different horsepower, we have both been doing this a long time. I guess out of context my statement was in fact not true. Either way I think this guy has gotten enough help to move on with his project..... I hope.
