Recently Boosted, Share your knowledge
Drove the car home tonight from having it at my buddies garage for two months. Installed the BEGI Shanghai-S kit and ended up doing a bunch of other small things, First project so slowly denoobing myself. Shouldn't have taken nearly as long as it did but you live and you learn i guess haha. Since I just lost my turbo virginity, I was wondering if you guys could help share some useful knowledge since you've acquired since having all your cars boosted. Maybe what spark plugs to run ( a buddy of mine was telling me copper ngk's), whether to gap differently, random maintenance tips, different weight oil?, etc. Just whatever knowledge you guys can share with me, I would really appreciate it.:party:

NGK BKR7Es, .035 gaps, synthetic oil (RotellaT or Amsoil), and 11.8:1 AFRs in boost.

Boost is fun.
Stock rods are week. Turning up the boost is easy but can get expensive. |

I know your hearts in the right place but please don't make blanket statements like this, its how people end up getting toons from tooners that real tuners end up fixing and want to throw the laptop out of the car while they're doing it. Its a bit of a pet peeve.

I dont mean that exact tit bit. Which is pretty good for most turbo cars. But people making statements like that is how you come across a car running 3 different maps copy and pasted together and 10something afrs because some well respected person on the internet made a blanket statement.

in, this should be good
|
Yeah and look at OP asking specific, non-vague questions......oh wait.
|
just curious...when is 11.8:1 in boost not a good idea?

Running a 15.5afr at full boost makes great power.... I recommend Leafy try it.
I'm not saying that it was a bad blanket statement just that one like that, which is generally pretty good, can start the slippery slope of what is now know as dsm tuning. Aka, a collection of out of context quotes by good people used incorrectly. |
Protip: this isn't some retarded DSM forum. When you try to be a smartass around here nit-picking reputable members' posts you simply come off as an ass...especially since you're a n00b, and don't actually post much valuable info, but just stupid blanket statements like "tein coilvoers suck".. "megasquirt needs histograms and autotune sucks"....etc...This isn't the 1st thread you've done this in, so either "get with the program" or lube your anus cause it aint going to be pleassant for you 'round these parts.

In reading the rest of your posts in this thread, i still don't understand what your problem with it was. |

Mine were bent on the 00 too, but nowhere near that much. just a very slight snaking if you compare them to a straight rod. 12psi on a 2860 iirc

Wow. When I pulled my old block apart after being boosted at 11-12psi (FMII kit) for 80k, my rods looked nothing like that. It's all in the tune...to a limit.
~14psi.. No knock/ping. Everything else in engi is fine. I did know i was pushing the engi just above the limit. Im just glad it did not break like I seen happen to others. Seems like the 250rwhp limit correct. |

17:1 is even better.
