is 18 or 20psi safe??
i just dropped my car off at rpm to have them tune my link and install 550s and i told them to set it up for 18psi... is that safe?? they are the best tuning shop on the east coast so they should be able to make it perfect...
i am running 305s at 15psi right now and its not fast enough.. i hope that 18psi with a good tune and my big 16g back on will make more power... thx |
i wouldn't push more than that...
however, I'm questioning how safe it was to run 305s past 170rwhp at 50psi of fuel...was an FMU invovled? |
yeah.. its not safe... lots of detonation.. just rebuilt the motor... didnt take it to 15psi that much, maybe two or three times... i hope that 18psi is enough... i think that it should be fine with the forged rods, wiesco pistons, cometic head gasket and apr main studs i just put in...
thx |

oh....then that's nothing.
|
The built bottom end should make it safe. What kind of boost was Andy running with out any engine managment?
|
All the Mitsu 'G' wheels really shine beyond 20psi.
|
with a built bottom end it should be good for 25psi + and past that the motor will start having flow issues and more work has to go in
|
18psi was Afloyd's high power run. Keep in mind if you're having it tuned to from a "coarse" tune, you should get more power for your boost level anyway.
|
for real jason. how many hp are you looking to make 330 or so?
|
that sounds pretty good to me....
|
I run the GReddy at 18psi all day long with no detonation. I have 440cc injectors tuned with the Link.
Granted, I do have a built motor but I have had no issues with my setup so far. |

That turbo is good enough for 18psi to redline?

Probably something in the 275rwhp range...about the most you can ask from it.
|
That's what I was thinking. I really wouldn't want more than that in all honesty. The car is pretty undriveable in hard rain, despite my compromising choices for street tires.
It's also a pig on gas and tires. ~12mpg on 93 octane and I had the belts coming through a set of RT615s in ~1300 miles. :sadwavey: I still love it though. :) |
you get less than 12mpg with the link ???
is that just under boost or all the time??? thx |
I assume his driving habits are to blame ;) I was still making 27mpg at 200rwhp, i expect the same at 250.
|
i have a link,run 93 octane and get a whoping 12-15mpg.
