Has anyone used this setup. Best deal I've found. I have access to a good center section through a friend. Just need this stuff. Any thoughts?

Also this is a adjustable panhard bar we made at my shop out of scrap. Its chrome moly and double adjustable. 3/4" ends and bolts. Super strong and best of all, FREE!!

Was going to the movie store tonight doing some highway pulls and noticed that with boost set to 12 psi going off 2nd gear pull it makes a couple psi more every gear I go up.. 14 in 3rd 16 in 4th which I let out of not pushing my luck. I guess more load more boost but guess my little cheap controller doesn't hold it to steady. Feels nasty though... I kinda like it like this though.

That's good it held man you know its not gonna explode lol maybe.
But that's not your boost controller that's one of the best manual controllers out there, its your wastegate not doing its job. Could be placement. What spring is in there?

mrstepheneades

Gate max boost 8psi on spring alone.

If its easy enough use one spring stiffer might help a little you would have to log a pull to actually see what it creeps to

Not like its to critical for highway pulls. Be like UGR lambos boost by gear technology lol lol. Jk. If that's even what them cars do. Just going off assumption..

As it gets colder outside that boost creep will get worse....ask me how I know...

Lmao, turbo cars LOVE the cold weather

Long as AFR stays good I'll push it lol.

I would say as long as the AFR never goes over 11.4-11.6 you'll be fine for a loooooong time to come.

With using 100% m1 I doubt I will ever get any detonation. That's the real killer. If none of that then all will depend on integrity of the internals. Like to make a 16 psi pull on a dynojet though. Get a bragging number for stock stuff. Have a Dyno day where I can come see what it does lol.

Its been my experience that anything over 12 psi (in Cal 100+ degree Summers) is pushing the ragged edge of the stock pre 2005 rods and pistons. Not saying I haven't seen stock 4.8's pushing 18 psi on race fuel and live, but it seems to be far and few in between.

I rarely ever drive the car in the heat. Its usually a cool evening cruise or something. And if it is hot a take it easy. My iats stay pretty low anyway.

Keep those RPMs low enough and itll help the rods out tremendously. I know its not an apples to apples to comparison, but itd be interesting to see what yours does at 16psi on a dynojet.. as i think our builds are somewhat comparable.

As long as your IAT's entering the engine are staying low (under 140-130 degrees) it doesn't matter if the outside air temp is at. I imagine the straight meth is a huge helper in that dept. I haven't run straight meth after seeing two different guys I know burn their cars litterally to the ground (not saying it happens alot or to everyone), so I have been sticking with the 50/50 mix and its kept my IAT's on my old blower setup to 10-20 degrees above outside air temps, but I was only pushing 10-11 psi. Of course it loved the Winter temps better too.

Yeah basically same size turbos, maybe? Not sure I know mine 75mm and yours 76mm but not sure the size compared from my borg to yours. My cam is 234/237 612/610 115+4. 14* and 10.3af at max boost. Twin meth nozzles pure stuff.

Your borg unit is physically much larger than mine. My cam is smaller than yours, 230/230 .613/.592 111+2. ive got 14* at peak torque and 19-20* at max power, 11.0 AFR with E85. Ive also got 317s so my compression is a little lower than yours. Id expect them to be very close in power as you dont have 9" sucking up power either. If you were on E85, i think you would get a decent amount more power than i got.

Funny you mention that, before I had my custom 9.5" 14 bolt built, I had everyone saying, 'Just build a 9". I didn't because of that reason, besides a 9.5" is stronger anyway without having to buy a bunch of higher spline speciality stuff to make it live under a heavy *** truck.

the second post on this page has anybody looked at the link in that post? if so is that a pretty good deal

Holy crap, thats a really good deal with a backbrace and gussets. Do not get this thing without having a drain and fill plug added. I regret it so bad, adding fluid and draining was annoying.
