turbo j35
so my dad builds sand rails and we run the j32a1s and the j35a4 and everybody tells us that when you turbo them no matter how much boost your running you HAVE to run race fuel. we have customers running stock j35a4 on 5psi and running race fuel.... doesnt make much since to me cause their only 9.4:1 cr so how come on 5 psi on a j series you have to run race fues and a b series you can run 12 on regular?

Re: turbo j35
that is always what i thought and that is what i always told my dad but he never beleives anything i say. idk if it makes a difference but the motors are also turning 35in tires and are in sand so their under a little more of a load?

Im sure they will see some more load then what a car generally sees on the street. However more then likely they weigh less then your average street car. Like Shodan said those people are simply wrong.

Re: turbo j35
i think the reason people tell you to run race gas is b/c for extra safety. Hence there isn't really a ecu management to retard the timing on that motor just yet.... So the race gas would allow you safely to run higher boost on the high of stock ignition timing..
So, in theory, those people are correct..

Re: turbo j35
rite now we have just been running the stock ecus. we just use a set of needle nose plyers to break out the security chip to run in the rails and for the turbos in front of the air sensor we put this thing on their with a glass ball that fools a sensor and for fuel we use the stock injectors but run a fuel pressure regulator that for every pound of boost it puts so much more fuel pressure.... and for like wiring in a j series motor into a civic should be pretty hard but i dont see why we cant use our sand rail wiring harness as long as you dont have to go through deq cause they are cut down to only pretty much everything to make the motor run and my dad does it all himself?

Re: turbo j35
He runs stock ecu, he cuts a full harness just to run engine only. And dismantles the ecu to only run the motor. Pretty sweet cuz it cost him nothing but an hour or 2 and a tuning shop is quoted 200min price for just the harness.

Re: turbo j35
This is what I expected. If you ran a programmable EMS like AEM you could run larger injectors, tune for a proper AFR, and most importantly pull timing per pound of boost ... allowing you to make more power, increase reliability, and run pump gas. You could even upgrade the fuel pump and injectors and tune for E85 and make way more power.
The cost of the EMS would be recouped after maybe 3-4 weekends of not buying race gas.
