Ok so ive come to understand the 09 motor (not sure if its 08+ or what) but the new motor i have in my car is 09 and it has a higher compression than my old 06. Obviously the Plus side would be spool characteristics right? How much faster do you think it would spool a turbo being a higher compression like, alot more noticeable? Also since IT IS higher compression does that mean it is more prone to damage with boost? Like not bieng able to handle as much boost as the lower compression 05-07 motors? Any other parts of the 09 motor make it More or less boost friendly? And what do you think the gains would be comparing? say we have the same car, same turbo kit at 10 psi.. What do you think the numbers difference would be an 06 vs 09 motor?

 

mmm from what i know the only difference is the 07+ motors have a different maf and they have oil squirters. but please if some one else knows something i dont know chime in anytime.

 

i read on the ptuning fourm when they tuned the first gen tc motors its usually 10whp less then the second gen motor

the newer motors 07+ get more whp on the same kit and same tune they said

 

05-06 are 9.6:1 and 07-10 are 9.8:1. ptuning did say they say more hp out of the newer models with their kit.

 

i had mikes kit on 12 psi on a 60-1 turbo and never had one prob bro i got 08

 

the higher compression makes it more prone to knock....but with 9.8 to 1.....your fine with stock pistons.

 

aight ya im thinking of runnin 11psi on the 60-1.. hopefully itll last me a while lol

 

i dont even kno if im still going to enjoy my car.. its alot going from 430whp to 290-310....... lol i hope i still enjoy it

 

its ok chad.....you can ride in mine anytime you want....just bought a new mani, dp, wastegate. next is finish out the exhaust and run 14psi on ethanol.....omg booooooost

 

lol i ws at 12 psi bro with no probs take it to 12! but i had 700cc injectors

 

ya i got 550's and my wastegate spring is like 11.4 or something.. and i sold my boost controller so

 

well enjoy ur car and sell me ur wheels b4 u sell the car lol

 

haha u want the trd's?

 

I've got my 07 at 9 psi without issue. The knock sensor that comes with the 07+ cars is much more sensitive and will save the motor much better than the 05-06's but if it's just a block swap then that won't be a factor. Just take in to account that you might have to pull a little more timing to keeps things under control.

Glad to see you're getting your car back on the road again! IDC if you had non-turbo, it's a clean car and I bet you miss having it!

 

yaa im dying without it haha.. thanks man

 

lol yea i like the trd's they have a good stance IMO

 

He's got the little spacers on his though so you'll need those too. I think they're 5mm or 8mm or something.

 

ya 5mm

 

ohh

 

mike hates my wheels lol
