Power, RPM, AFR's, Timing, cooling capacity, and probably some other things all tear up an engine if it's not right.

You guys are a bunch of wooses. I run my stock motor with 200K miles on it with the wastegate welded shut. I get tons of power when the boost climbs to 50 psi. It's awesome when I drag race at the local Air Force base against F-16 fighters on full afterburner takeoff, and leave them in the dust. I got some 2.08:1 rear end gears to keep up with them.

PSI means nothing really... its power that breaks motors. A DSM t25 at 10 psi does NOT equal a gt30 at 10psi... they flow different amounts of air and thus make different amounts of power. You need to look at power levels people break at... not what PSI you can run. ie: go back an relearn about turbo systems, turbo sizing, power goals, power potential, engine tuning and required supporting mods etc... I realize that torque is going to be the determining factor on how hard I will be able push it before the rear end breaks. I have the torsion Diff in the back. Any ideas on the limits of my current Diff? The BS isn't necessary. I'm not stupid just merely new to the subject. I appreciate what guidance you can give me. |

Understood. I got the book Maximum Boost to help educate me on this topic. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet because I have been busy studying tuning theory.

Sorry for the plane fact that I am a Noob but I am approaching this whole project as a learning experience.

I started with tuning theory and an Engine Management System so that I can learn the system/interface before boost complicates things. Plus I decided to keep the car naturally aspirated while I began my love affair with her. Since the summer is coming to a close the time has come to up the ante and make things a little more risky.

And God forbid I waste beer on something that doesn't fight back before being saddled. I don't even know why I am wasting my time dignifying this with an answer. ;) |

That's nothing.Ihave a 15 gallon air tank I fill with my compressor hooked to my intake.
I boost 120psi on a regular basis.I have a reverse mounted hoodscoop and a Super Soaker for water injection! I have a fresh motor just rebuilt with used parts. |

Oh, SNAP son!

GT47-88, PVC downpipe and manifold, 92 psi with propane injection. 220whp, excellent spool.

Transmissions, unfortunately, tend to get used up after a while. Fortunately they're cheap and not terribly difficult to swap. The BS isn't necessary. I'm not stupid just merely new to the subject. I appreciate what guidance you can give me. |
I'll beat you all in my old school 538HP "muscle" car. :slap:
