hey guy,

i guess this is more then a poll then a thread, but i was just wondering what hp/tq ratings everyone out there is running after boosting thier beloved ITR. Just curious to see what other people got and if it was close to what my brother ended up with.. 7psi - 303 whp, 209 ft lbs/tq. tuned with E-Manage Ult. by Intec Racing. If anyone has boosted a previously owned GSR, or LS, lemmie know, im just curious.. thanks guys

 

Try the FI forum homie.

Not all turbos [and obviously engines] are the same, so even if everyone else is on 7psi of boost, they will all have different numbers.

 

The size of the turbo would be good to know.

Intec does great tuning, and 303whp with a stock ITR on 7psi seems very respectable.

 

make sure you don't push more than 7 with stock internals.

Yeah? Where did you get this information from? Who said you can't run more than 7psi on stock internals?

Statements like that are worthless without data to back it up.

Fine put 10psi on it and see what happens

I think his point was don't put crazy boost on a stock internal motor......Honda motors are NA not FI. But if your approach to this is boost it til it blows, then go right ahead.

Yep, you're right this isn't the FI forum so I'll shut-up.




For the record, there are guys out there running ~12psi on stock internals and unsleeved blocks.

Someone with a brain how nice...I have personally seen a stock r engine pumped to 9 psi and he popped it. Don't believe me search away I'm sure you will find some posting about popped Rs that were boosted too much.

 

well thankfully my brother is a lil smart and tuned on 8psi and runs 7psi so he is always a lil bit rich..and he isnt gonna go over 7 psi without pistons and rods..how much boost could he run with just low comp. pistons and rods?

Not an easy question to answer man. I can't just pick a number for you to go with.

It depends on what compression you will be going down to with the pistons. It depends on how many miles are on the engine, how long you want the engine to last for. I'm sure you could run 10 psi on a stock untuned engine as others here have suggested but its risky. Contrary to popular belief not all engine are created equally, but I would expect the worst. So untop of a good turbo system and what you mentioned above...

Things to consider:

-A thicker headgasket
-good tune
- get your block resleeved, and forged internals.
-then the head (there are cams made specifically for turbo applications), fuel system, EMS, and it goes on man.

So in conclusion I would say get ready to pay if you want those high reliable numbers.

 

O and if you have any more questions, use the FI section. G/L with your boost and be carful. Also my apologies for my "no brain" comment earlier. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just want to make sure we help and don't hurt this guy.

 

7psi 303whp is pretty damn good

Hell yeah.

It seems to be common wisdom, don't cross 300 WHP on a stock compression, stock internals ITR.

Anyhow, I have a teeny tiny turbo now, and at 15 PSI I'm probably not turning a whole lot more power than your friend at 7 PSI.

It can safely handle 10 psi on stock internals... whoever that "person" was you saw was either lying or had a **** tune job

And those are some really great numbers for 7 psi man

 

not to be an *** man..but this isnt my car..its my bro's he's off in sacramento to college..he asked me to post like a lot of other things..he sometimez gets on..but when you are trying to be a master techie for Porshe you get lotz of homework!

7-8 10 20 psi, its all in the output. while your brother makes 300whp at 7psi, someone with smaller turbo would be making 240whp at 10psi, so are they placing more stress if to run 12psi and make only 260whp? i wouldn't run more than he's running even with pistons and rods, stock sleeves take a beating at that hp.. thats if you care about longetivity

 

he's eventually gonna run like 15psi on race gas when we go to the track..but thats when he gets pistons and rods..

 

"What was that?"
"It's the motor, I think we blew a rod"

E-Cookie to whom names that movie.

It's all about tuning and the quality of parts.

who needs a turbo, just follow Jake's advice...

"It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."
