yeah im running the greddy kit and i have the replacement manifold with support bars but the welds cracked on the support bars... :/ it has been holding up fine for now, we will see how it does with some more boost running through it. how much is that replacement manifold? i got mine used so it came with it. if mine cracks im going to go custom with EWG.
i have 550cc that im going to install once i get tuned for 10psi and see where that takes me.

Well if my injectors are tapped out, that's fine, I don't need really need to go any higher. I'm too the point where I have enough power to keep me happy and don't want to drop more money than I need to into the car.

Greddy couldn't give me a price on it as they don't sell it directly, but they said 400-500. I was looking into another manifold, but am unsure what will fit. From what it seems, it may be more than it's worth to make something fit, considering modifications to the down-pipe and intercooler piping that might be needed.

Heard wrong I made 326whp on my old 550cc And they weren't maxee out.

How are you monitoring timing? Knock?

coryjames

who gives lol i dont monitor knock lol if it blows it blows why play it safe motors are cheap and the fun intense lol ................ no i have ways lol im rocking alot of injector got 900s twin pumps and 70 psi of fuel pressure

m6ar2cel6oTC

If you say so baller lol. Raise the boost more and see how much heat the cylinder walls can take lol.

ecko04

Incorrect, PTUNING includes 550cc with their turbo system, which is capable of making 300whp with the default setup.

That's why i said to contact them to see what they think. I know it really depends on the tuner.

coryjames

i run 12-12.5 afrs pull no timming till 8 psi then pull a half degree a psi past that

timing? whats that? e85 says screw timing i want more.

coryjames

yes e85 is like a sorority girl on spring break more more and then some more

ecko04

Actually it doesn't. Reputable tuners do not tune for power, if a tuner ever tunes for power that's a huge problem. Most tuners won't even say "sure your car can get xxx whp", they'll say "we'll see when we get it on the dyno", tuners are less worried about power and more worried about reliability so you don't hop out there and throw a rod through the hood.

jsmillie07

I agree with you that using a tuner that just tunes for power is bad, that's the reason why I won't take my car to CFT. Just some tuners are a little more conservative then others. Based on their experience and how they tune they might tell you that you need bigger injectors or more psi if you want to hit a certain power range.

ecko04

Agreed

That's exactly my theory but no e85 for ne just meth.

Hey Guys I'm new to the F/I forums and was wondering (sorry if its a bit of threadjacking) if I need to worry about anything If Im using a Greddy Kit + 550 Inj, because I want to run at 10 or 12 psi but I don't know if that would be "safe" any help guys?

3min3m2

With boost, safe is an arbitrary term applied to set-ups that have yet to destroy motors. 10-12 psi is not in that category generally(IMO)

but if u have a good tuner and clutch, have fun.

RichTc

I run 10psi on my greddy kit (with 550s) and haven't had any problems. Agree with the poster above, that it is all in the tune.

rhythmnsmoke

Would have to disagree with that. More and more people are building their motors these days than when F/I first started with the tC. The people who don't build their motor, usually don't buy the most power/potential kit.

And for those that do and don't build, it's like that old saying...."I'd rather have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it".

Boost is addictive and once you start turning the BC up, you never want to go back down or stop for that matter.
