turbo question
 
i am not sure but is it safe to run 7 psi boost with my stock ratio pistons will i have any problems like blowing the rings or any thing

Braineack 05-06-2007 11:52 AM

yes.

Trent 05-06-2007 12:03 PM

the generally accepted maximum boost level on a stock bottom end is ~15 psi.

aitracing-miata 05-06-2007 12:21 PM

k thanks i just wanted to clear the up couse one of my friends is pisst i got a turbo and trying to say u can blow your rings and crap with like 7 -10 psi with stock piston ratio and crap

Braineack 05-06-2007 12:24 PM

since our compressrion ratio is a 9.5:1, you're fairly safe if you do things right.

aitracing-miata 05-06-2007 12:28 PM

wat would i have to do to play it safe

Braineack 05-06-2007 12:32 PM

give it a good amount of fuel in boost; with the proper amount timing retard to control knock.

start reading. :)

yes you will.. ill post pictures of my pistons later today... cracked the entire side of 3 and 4...
if your going to run 7psi make sure you at least have a dual feed rail and some larger injectors

Braineack 05-06-2007 05:26 PM

that's the whole "proper fueling and knock control" I'm talking about.

magnamx-5 05-06-2007 05:52 PM

Get the air cold and get some fuel to it and you will be good to go. :bigtu:

aitracing-miata 05-06-2007 05:53 PM

were can i git a dual feed rail

magnamx-5 05-06-2007 05:59 PM

make one but it is not neccesarry until 250 or better whp. i dunno why jason suggested it, bigger injectors or more FP will do you just fine read the friggin faq Newb it is all in there trust me. ;)

aitracing-miata 05-06-2007 06:12 PM

so preety much git more fuel and air and i should be safe

magnamx-5 05-06-2007 06:17 PM

no becouse if you read the faq it would explain that with boost comes heat. you need WI or FMIC to controll this heat. If you dont then you will be knocking and destroy your motor. Read the faq it takes about 30-45 minutes/

aitracing-miata 05-06-2007 06:26 PM

i got every thing i need i got a fmu 12/1 - greddy fmic-fmic piping -5/16 oil return line taped - cold intake- greddy bov

aitracing-miata 05-06-2007 06:32 PM

sry 5/8 oil return line

magnamx-5 05-06-2007 06:35 PM

Where is the bipes? FMIC is not as effective as WI and you will need a timming controller most likely or retarded base timming.

aitracing-miata 05-06-2007 06:39 PM

bipes?

it is the first frigin post of the FAQ.

Not only will you help protect against detonation, or you gain low-end power back if you keep your static timing at 10* or advanced. The Bipes is a proven device in NA, turbo and supercharged Miatas. Aftermarket ECU and “piggyback” usually have this function built in.
