Last recorded boost level for my was 12lbs. 12lbs good imo. I was running 750cc injectors. Those are for sale just FYI...

 

im running 11lbs spiking to 13lbs with no issues

 

I'm gonna wait and see what comes out of these new tires. I'm snagging up a set of Falken Azenzis's (hard to say lol) and if it takes off like a bat outta hell in 2nd instead of going straight to redline, I might not change a thing. But, if I still have major traction issues down bottom, I at least want it to be a bit more of a highway queen. Overall, I'm a pretty conservative driver and don't put many miles on the car compared to the average. I bought it in the beginning of 08 with 1000 miles on it and it has almost 28k now.

 

every1 is talking 12psi but no1 has asked the size of the turbo....what size is ur turbo that u would run 12psi on???

cuz 12psi on a 16g and 12psi on a gt42r is a really big difference....just sayin

 

lol if he was running a massive turbo i think he would have mentioned it.

 

even if hes using a smaller turbo, the size is still the biggest determining factor. im assuming he has a stock bottom end and is worried about turning up the boost. as long as hes not pushing more than 350whp, on the stock block he should be fine. so if his turbo makes 322whp on 12psi he actually has room to raise the boost even more. so he has to get dyno tuned n see what power he makes at 12psi. elevation made what 362whp on a sc-62 on 16psi b4 he bent a rod. if he ran 16psi on a t3/t4 63. 50ar. his whp would have been much lower. i say tune for as much hp as u can safely run on ur setup. get it dynoed son

 

just going by psi alone will lead to a blown motor

 

^^ your right but i think below 330whp is a safe bet. it all depends cause i know i was on 13psi on conservative tune and made 326whp and burned my piston rings and then like elevation did 360 something and bent a rod.

 

i thought elevation blew the motor due to the balance shaft giving in?

 

i wasnt tread jacking or not tring, thats why i sent private messages to those who had doubts. question was asked 12psi or not 12psi. as for me 12psi good with built motor, i ran 10psi with stock engine and 12psi with upgrade .. i do apoligize rangerryda ..


RusWolf:
Its all good bud, it was not directed directly to you but rather to everyone...

 

damn 326whp made the rings fail?? i plan on at least making 330whp on my peanut turbo on 15psi. i might have to order a 5lb spring from tial and just do 13psi

that sucks, how long b4 the rings failed on u?

 

Boosted for a year I think don't remember.

 

Took the car out for some fun today. I might just build a 12 psi tune on my off-time with Mike and run 9 daily. 290 whp is plenty for me but nothing says fun like spinning third gear next to ricers going 55 lol.

Pay Uncle Sam-$940
New Tires-$600
New WG Spring-$30

^ In that order BTW, I'm just running the V2 Turbonetics kit. .48/50 trim BB w/ Tial WG 38mm. If anyone has a .8 bar Tial spring laying around for cheap maybe we can make a deal?

 

god damn 600 bucks for tires what kind of tires are those!

 

255/40/17 Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1 for me

 

Hey ranger i might buy your spring from you if you decide to do this...do you have any shims for your wg?
EDIT
Nevermind I don't have tial

 

I paid about $760 shipped for my track tires. Most I've ever spent on tires alone. And those were only 225/40/17's.

 

That includes installation of the tires as well. I'm getting the 225/40/18 Falken Azenzis RT615's.

Tial is awesome There are other respectable makes out there but Tial is my choice for WG. I've got a 1 bar spring for the 38mm Tial doing nothing in my garage if anyone wants to make an offer.
