What power should i be putting down?

dude justinlandsdale

how the fuuuu????
you sir got the one lucky msp out of the lot of em lol
damn
 
I don't think 210 is out of range for the turbo itself......on the stock setup it would be hard to achieve with the restrictive exhaust and "interheater" they call an intercooler. Being that Justin has the exhaust and intercooler setup to support better spooling and cooler intake charges....with good ambient temps 210 would be a bit of luck but not impossible. What was the temp when the dyno was run? Also, why the need for the MBC and FCD with 7psi?? I am running 8.7psi with no fuel cut(i also run regular gas...you can yell at me for it hehehehe).

65 degrees @ 17% humidity. thanks for backing me up, i ran with the MBC but not the FCD, i just installed that yesterday. i acually ran three times that day but the last time i cranked the boost up to 10psi but got hit with fuel cut so we canceled the run.
 
ur from Montgomeryville and im not too far from there being in Scranton PA so where did u dyno at?? i had heard that allentown has a dyno somewhere??
 
yeah i dyno' the first time back in march at philly dyno works but they are no longer open. this past time, i dyno'd at diehl's in allentown. the closest dynojet to my area though is RT tuning in lansdale.

lol, tell that to everyone with a turboback exhaust, hardpipes, and front mount at 10 psi

with all the above AND a tuned unichip I hit 185whp/200wtq (ya, thats not a typo), and from every single msp I've worked on with similar mods minus 10 psi they hit around 175-185

what boost were you running when you hit 208?
and why run a boost controller at 7 psi when you could just run the atp replacement wastegate (which is 7 psi I'm told)

i bought a boost controller because i wanted to control the boost manually and i have the ability to adjust the boost from inside the car via the cockpit cable. i was running 7psi when i hit 209whp and 6.5 when i hit 206whp.
 
interesting...if only those results showed up among other cars as well

are you the original owner of the car? perhaps it had a gt28 already upgraded in it lol...it looks just like stock if you get the gt2860 like I had

i'm second owner, and i'm pretty positive that its the stock turbo but that would be awesome if it was a GT28 haha. would it say something on the compressor housing?
 
not sure, the compressor housing is larger though

take a pic of how close it sits to the drivers side fan and I could probably tell ya
 
are you on stock internals?

then do not go over 10 psi, Id stick to 9 to be safe...besides youll probably hit fuel cut at 11 (hell I hit it at 10) anyways
 
10 psi on a stock block is basically the limit for whatever turbo your on, anything higher on a stock tune and youll hit predet...on an aftermarket tune you risk the rods breaking from stress above 10, but you should be good up to about 250 whp before the rods give with a PROPER tune (see pirana's car)

I'd still recomend though just to stay on the safe side...a running decently fast car is better than a super fast car with a blown engine (see my sig lol)

topher you should know all this already, you've been on here a long time =P
 
i was planning on staying around 7psi...i just needed confirmation so i can sleep at night.

i plan on getting the afcv2 early next year...just to be on the safe side.
 
wait a second...with the mpnick turbo, i have t28 internals in a t25 housing...so, won't i be pushing around the same amount of air as a t28? people say these turbos feel like a stock turbo at 10psi when it is set at 5psi...with that, wouldn't i want to stay around 5psi? maybe (and that's a strong maybe) 6psi would be good but 7psi may be pushing it?
 
there is a difference between pressure level and airflow

flowing enough air to generate that power at a lower pressure level will not have the adverse affects of a turbo that requires a higher pressure level of air

you should be fine around 8-9...I ran 10 psi on a gt28 all day long with no worries
