Default 31 psi Video

Time to turn it up . How are these engines surviving these pressures, hell makes 20psi sound weak. Its not a LS1 but I respect any form of hotrodding ..at this level .

psi means absolutly nothing. Its a mearsure of air preasure..not amount of air. Stock..most ls1s will handle rouldn't 5-8psi..which doesn't sound a lot, but liek i said..psi isn' the actualy amount of air. i'm surprised the supra isn't running more, hell, I've seen a evo running 45psi before and made a lil over 1000 to the wheels. I've also seen a few videos of supras running 40+psi too.

so what your saying is these engines have more of a restiction than others so they show more psi . That mother just ran some nine's in the 1/4 dragging *** with a 6 cylinder I think it makes some difference . Look at the compound setups on diesels over 100psi . How is their no cylinder head lifting , blown headgaskets etc I want to know how they last ...it says sustained .

Say I have a warhawk block ,the strongest internals,arp studs, thickest deck aftermarket cylinder heads, oringed block and heads, race fuel , a tune set up for it . Single Turbo 106mm or bigger . I know psi is a reading of restriction . On a engine of this caliber what happens when you let the wastegate go free 30- 40 psi does the engine blow or scream 2,500hp like the Pro 5.0 Mustangs do ?

Top Fuel's run 40 psi they make unrecordable power 6,000+

Actually, air pressure is a measure of air. If you had 2 engines of identical displacement and one was operating at 15psi and the other at 20 psi, and the air was at roughly the same temperature, the engine at 20 psi would have more air in it. positive pressure results from forcing more air into a container (like an engine cylinder) than it wants to be at naturally. This forcing of the air causes compression which creates the positive boost pressure. So the higher the pressure, the more air is in the cylinder.

do some research on the tractor pulling guys. In the farm tractor class they have girdales that go from the bottom of the engine over the top on the outside to keep the head on the engine. They are running close to 200psi boost, if you every have a chance to go see a pulling event, go!! the alcohol tractors and the unlimiteds are my favorite!!!!!!!!!

Not always true.... Take a 3" pipe with 20 PSI. Its going to flow X amount of air. Now take a 1.5" pipe with 40 PSI air. Its going to flow the exact same CFM of air as the larger pipe with a lower pressure. Its all abut CFMs, not PSI. PSI is a measurement of restriction.

actually...your wrong..because mearsuring something should be the same across the board. An inch is an inch if you in noth america or on mars. Now, psi can change the the temp of air...elevation....engine...ect. If psi was an actual measurment of air flowing...the 20 psi on a evo would flow the same extact amount of air as a 20 psi on a ls1....giving all else being equal(lenght, size and route of pipes, turbo..ect) But we all know that isn't true. more than likely...the ls1 would spool faster, changing the powerband..and possibly even choking because of the air restriction from the turbo...also making the boost hotter..which woudl lead to less power possibly.

diesel's also have about 8-10 bolts around each cylinder.


and ryan woon runs 35-40 psi + nitrous.

Turbo diesels can/have run 200+ psi.

They can run WAY more than that. Some of the diesel tractors are up in the 250+ psi range! You can even find a few Cummins roaming the street making in excess of 100 psi too!

You beat me to it!

i love that supra. I still don't get how those engines stay in one piece after that kind of abuse.

Remember, they keep using the example of blowing through a lets say... let's be creative... A um... Paper towel roll... vs a straw from a capri sun. Imagine running the same PSI through both, how restrictive is the capri sun straw vs the paper towel roll? Go ahead, grab both and try it, gaurantee your blood pressure will skyrocket and you'll instantly turn red trying to blow through that straw. IE - PSI vs CFM.
