thats the problem im dealing with the front and side are easy but the rear is a pain UGH lol

 

haha yaa i didnt even wanna try it i dont wanna rush it bc time is limited at my job to what i can do and stuff , bc wen i did the other 2 mounts i was still on the clock haha and im on the clock the whole time so ya lol, i just dont have enough time to do the rear one right now but wen i do the clutch i'll throw it in there so theres more room and whhat not. i hear its easy but space is also limited unless u have a lift lol

 

So your going to be running the dezod kit at 12psi on a stock block?

 

^ ya why not

 

^because I would like the engine to last more then a year or two

 

At Only 12psi..its not the boost thatll kill an engine, its all about the tune and heat management

 

^without question. And the reason why people are running 10lbs max on stock blocks is to keep the engine. Why do you think the dezod kits come with 8lb setups? Sure with a good tune from ptuning I would think the engine would last for the year but when im building something I want it to last more then a year - There are upgraded rods on the market that start at people looking for 350whp ..... so that tells you right there the stock rods should be running less then 330whp.

 

I've been on 11-13 psi for 7 months without a single problem.

 

^ cool - must be some nice power. You normally run 11lbs daily? or you up to to that?

 

yea ill prolly end up tuning it for 10 to run daily but have my map safe up to 12 since im expecting a 2psi occasional spike from the MBC

 

My MBC is set to 11.5, sometimes it opens at 12, sometimes it opens at 9. The highest I've spiked was around 13 (gauge has peak memory, audible warning is set at 12). So far I've been boosted for 10,000 miles, and I hit boost almost every time I accelerate.

 

lol when u commented on the Forge photo on my facebook and said that it sucked i got really nervous jon lol..

so im taking into account any kind of spiking

any other scion owners out there on facebook? add me! Matthew Spano NYC

 

So im drivin on the highway tonight with my boy chris and a blue evo 9 rolls up..we raced from 50-100...we were dead even!

Felt good to be even with an evo on only 6psi lol..

Cant wait till 12psi on friday

 

Lmfao I had no idea that was you .

 

The blurred out dude looks like my boy Kevin. Don't ask me how I know since he is blurred, but I swear that's him.

 

Reason why people are running 10lbs max is because they have been brain washed...

Reason why kits come with 8lb setups....hmm...don't sound logical to throw a noob into a turbo kit running 12lbs as soon as he/she gets it. 8lbs is a baby step and ease for the customer who has never had boost before.


PS.....you know, you don't exactly have to hit full boost every time you drive your car. Daily driven on 14lbs of boost could last longer than a few years if you kept your foot out of the floor......get what I'm saying?

 

yea well i told my foot that but it didnt listen.

 

If he's on these forums and rarely posts, it might be him lol. He was asking me about my exhaust and I gave him a ride in my car.

 

That is another thing - when your turned at 10lbs you have a space where things can spike some and your fine (given that your tune is good).

 

^ things are fine when your tune is 100% but that is not always the case as you were saying.
