hmm so if im tuned at 18 psi.. i get a EBC. it allows me to switch from 2 different psi levels.. lets say 18 and 16 without problems? gotcha. thx for the info pure.

i want to drive around at 16 psi but if its time to race i can switch to 18 psi aslong as im tuned at the higher psi setting.

aen

16 - 18 isn't that mmuch of a difference...just keep it at 18! ahaha

If he keeps the flywheel hp under 450 he should be ok... But no cryin if the car starts smoking because the cylinder walls arent straight lol...

BTW SoFloTC - if the car is making any amount of power the car will spin all of first all of second and a good portion of third... So runnin that high a boost will really only be advantagous on the track with slicks... I would keep it around 12 psi... Remember with an ebc you can up the boost whenever you want, even on the fly... So you wont have to pull over or stop the car in order to change boost.

i would set boost to 30psi and leave it there its not like your gonna be in boost all the time LOL.

well my built transmission .. the new torque converter is set to be most accurate or the tranny is supposedly supposed to work its best at 350 whp area if i dont have that much power it will be to loose and if i pass it by alot then it will be to tight.. so

Mikescion - Have you had a chance to check out the track in ur town? If so how was it, I nothing but good things about it. I want to take a ride out there in a couple weeks and take a couples rounds on it.

SoFlo - You sound like u have built urself into a perverbial box... Well Im sure you'll make the 350whp but u certainly will be making some large dollar upgrades to the drive train once u find yourself needing some more power... And you will find yourself wanting more power.... If you dont know already, fast cars get addicting very quickly.

yes they do but theres no way im sending the tranny out again if i do want more power.. cuz im staying below 400 period.. lol

ok someone had said i would have to replace some things if i hit 400 Block HP. what were those things cuz.. at 350whp in the auto im going to guess its really close to 400 bhp.

purevision01

Rods will be the weak point at 400 fwhp... Those will have to go for sure, while ur at it head studs and a new mls head gasket and if you have the money some pistons. But I dont think ull achieve that number without doin something to the head like making it rev highier or flow better.

well i already have the internals. im just saying if im pushing 16-18 psi in the auto and its somewhere between 350-375 whp is there anything else i need to upgrade?

purevision01

nothing else to get other then a sleeve or block guard...

aen

what abotu in a manual, what do you need to upgrade to get 450 - 500?

purevision01

A good flowing turbo, complete head build, sleeves will probably begin to warp depending on the tune... But Ive seen cars make 500whp+ on stock sleeves, but that wasnt a daily driver. And the fuel delivery will definitely need to be upgraded to support 800cc + sized injectors to keep the duty cycle around 75 %. Higher duty cycles that (IMO) cause the injectors to heat up and in turn heat up the gas and that is going to make less efficient burn. Cooler fuel and air increases the chemical potiential energy which basically means more energy will be released upon combustion.

But be prepared for some driveability issues and perhaps a funky idle depending on the cam profile u use.

would 550 cc's be good to get me to 350whp?

purevision01

on a return line fuel setup yes... But on a stock tc fuel system I dont think so... The problem is, and a system that doesnt use vac lines to adjust fuel pressure, you base fuel pressure tends to be higher but the fuel pressure while in boost isnt very high and that reduces the output of the injector. Hence y we need such large injectors to make power.

But you can try them and see wat happens, in my experience you will get too high a duty cycle when you start really making power.

this is my approach i finally uploaded pics

just a teaser

nice....

pure what size would u recommend for me then if im using stock fuel system?

coryjames

880s atleast


i will be doing a 3 pump fuel system with -10 to the rail -6 on the way back with e85 and 1600 cc injectors i dont like duty cycle lol

jesus lol..

yeah lol
