I'm almost done assembling my turbo kit, and it's going on my B18C1 (w/ITR pistsons).

<u>Here's my setup:</u>
t3/to4b s-trim w/ .63a/r stg1 clipped
DSM 450's
DragIII manifold
2.5" DP
Deltagate
TurboXS RFL BOV
Spearco 28x6x3 intercooler

For all of you high compression/FI people.. how much boost are you running(what's your setup.. motor, CR, boost, etc) Is there anything special I need to know? Any suggestions or tips?

 

depends on your fuel management you have (hopefully a real good one) and how good your tuner is.

 

Get some type of EMS, assemble the setup, limp it to a dyno and tune it to whatever boost you want (with that sort of compression ratio on pump gas you may be limited to 15-17 psi).
"spin it till it pops and back it off a little"

 

Tuner will probably be John at Secret Services (VaporTrail on H-T), and fuel management will be UberChip.

15-17psi? I was thinking like 10... 7 to start with, but 10 in the end.

Forgot to add that I have a block gaurd, for whatever that's worth. (Lets not get into that though )

 

I say max 10psi on stock motor, maybe a little bit higher with John's tuning.

00ps, stock bottom, guess I should have read the setup slower.

that sounds good to me too, right about 300 fwhp the ring lands like to give on b series pistons

 

yah and say hi to my car for me while your there.

 

Id say if u werent tuning then 6-7 psi would be ideal, but i would go your original plans, stay somewhere near 10. You dont have a whole lot of room for error, but good thing your getting tuned right off the bat

 

i would run enough boost to do this to my pistons... aren't they so cute.

 

I thought that was caused by shifiting to 2nd instead of 6th.

 

looks like mini baked potatos wrapped in foil

Those things look like nuggets of silver. Maybe they're worth something?

My wastegate is sprung for 7psi, I think it will stay there untill I get pistons/rods.

 

I would get rid of the delta and get a tial. A boost spike will be your worst nightmare.
