I agree with this. Jons 500 on stock block makes me feel way more confident about my block

 

E85 makes things a lot easier too. You have to do some pretty crazy **** to make it detonate. I'm excited for the new setup. Something tells me I'm going to need to rent a dyno to tune and that I won't get by with street tuning this time

 

I have been convinced to go e85.
Granted like 2 gas stations in nj. Imma carry extra gas cans. I was about to order a brfps from zzp but now I needs a pump and 80's. Cant decide what to get first :/

 

Just get some 1000s. I know a guy who knows a guy

 

But this guy is still top and bottom end?

 

Just get the 1000's and have a ton of headroom unless you do something ridiculous like us. I'm waiting to see where I hit the limit with the 1000's.

 

Ok... I'm lost about that statement. Bottom line the guy is me. I wanna sell mine

 

Lol yeah I'm on stock top and bottom . Figured 80's were enough for a while. Once I'm done with em I'll just throw em on my redline.

 

As long as the pump keeps up, 550ish.

 

Yeah the 1000's don't have a ton of room on the car as it is, they are over 80% at peak. If you kept the rpms down just a hair you could squeeze a little more maybe but with cams and 8000+ it will be just about all they can handle.

 

I like the "no ***** given" attitude josh lol

I just sold my 1000's as well

 

 

this

 

well my cars gonna be back together soon and this is what its gonna have. hopefully i dont have to worry about motors for a while with this

Question been bugging me. Do any of ya break in a turbo? Like put 100 miles before cranking the boost?

256et turbo. Been on 10 psi for like 200 miles.

 

I have seen professional drag racers put a brand new turbo on an engine and make a pass 30 minutes later. I don't know the caliber of their balancing system but I doubt it's any better than a good reputable turbo manufacturer like Garret or the like.

With ball bearing cartridges, I doubt it matters much. They are built to withstand probably 20,000 RPMs more than you'll ever get close to so I doubt the threshold will be pushed even if you push 1.5 bar.

 

Yup

 

the 1000s wont be enough for anything over 500 whp

 

It's close to that but I politely disagree. We made 508 on Jon's car with 80's.
That said, in light of recent developments, I see no use for 1k's anymore. They're not much bigger than 80's anyway.

 

I see wat u saying. I work with truck turbos and those things are massive. All we do is put em on. Idle for 5 mins. Road test to push 47+ psi . Done. Just never dealt with a car and a turbo

 

i'll see how far i can take them by turning up the fuel pressure. if they don't get me where i want them, i'll hit you up for some fic 1600's

 

80's are good to about 590. I Don't know why 1000's wouldn't be able to hold over 500.

 

cuz they are talking e85 Mark, the 80s run out and cant handle the flow necessary, on pump gas 80s should handle upper 500s

 

150,000 rpm

 

Hey guys. So update on my higher boost issue! Like I was saying last week, my exhaust manifold cracked up. Idk what kind it is actually. Looks decent, just welds cracked.

So I replaced with zzp Mani, new custom downpipe. And the car is so different. Builds boost very fast, so much torque now. I can't do 2nd gear pulls anymore without lighting them up. MBC backed all the way off runs 14psi(deltagate adjusted to 13psi).
The sputter thing is gone so that manifold must have been too restrictive. Its strange how different the car is now. Exhaust sounds amazing, super deep growl. Just need a retune
