I need more boost. Hey guys

 

We all do

 

Hey Stan. I think Forged_G might be selling a 2.87 pulley soon if you want more boost.

 

Forged... Shoot me a PM if that's true. I just realized I've been at 5psi for three years now.

 

That's true. We both went with Vortech's at about the same time bro. It's definitely time for more boost!!

 

You have pm sir

 

Do I get a referral fee?

 

hahaa... i was actually going to make a comment in regards to that but forgot to. lol

 

quick question.. with the 3.12 i have coming.. should i use the stock belt that Vortech sells? the 93.5" belt? or should i get a 93" belt to avoid belt slipage?

 

With the 3.12, the stock belt should be fine. But what I always do is buy an extra belt just in case. It's always good to have an extra belt just as a backup.

 

I agree on having a spare belt but is the size good? 93.5? i know a lot of people get the 93" belt to avoid belt slipage?

 

Yeah, I meant get the 93" belt as a back up. If the stock belt starts to slip, just swap them out and use the stock belt as the backup/emergency belt.

 

maybe you missed my Si trim making 460whp/405wtrq on a dynodynamics and close to 500 on a dynojet, untouched stock motor.

Also, please explain how 13psi boost pressure is too much for a stock block when hes not making enough torque to bend the rods? Unless physics have changed and a measure of back pressure in the system started to bend rods overnight

If you arent making 380-400 ft pounds of wtrq, you can keep going with smaller pulleys.

Also, if you are stil using the 93" belt on a non-rev, you should call vortech ASAP and get the revised pulley setup and run the much shorter serp belt.

 

Hmm.. interesting..

From what i have seen/read 99% people advise to not push that many PSI's

IDK.. im an IT guy.. lol

 

I didn't miss it. I remember you were one of the first ones to go with the Si trim. It's just been a long time and I thought you put those numbers down on a built block. So I stand corrected. My point is that not a lot of people are putting up those kind of numbers with his setup. 400whp has generally been accepted as the point where you are now pushing the limits of a stock block.
My statement was based on him making 440whp @ 13psi. IMO that is pushing it. Yes, we know that you just stated that you made 500 on a stock block, on a dynojet. That doesn't mean it is safe. Once again, this is based on what GENERALLY has been agreed upon in the VQ community. And since Forged_G didn't state what tq numbers he put down, I was making my statement based on the info provided.
I'm not a non-revup. 2006 G35 6MT's are all revup.

 

In general, 440whp @ 13psi is pushing it on a stock block. (I'm saying in general, that okay for you str8dum1? LOL)

 

i was wondering when you'd find this string of posts

 

Well to be "safe" i am going to go with the Stillen Headers, Stillen HFC's and 3.12 pulley and 93" belt. Oh and a retune

I just want the car to last.. till i decide to build the engine and do twins

 

That's good thinking bro. That's why I was more than happy with the way my G came out. Just under 400whp 330tq on a conservative tune on my daily driver. I still have some decent power for when I want to get on it and it still has some nice driveability for days I wanna just take it easy and enjoy a cruise. That was 3+ years ago and I have had no problems (*knock on wood*). Hopefully I don't get yelled at again.

 

stock belt should fit 1 sized smaller pulley than it came with if hte belt isn't worn out. So if 3.33 is stock for that system then you'll still be ok with a 3.12 on the belt size. I would just use the stock vortech belt for a test fit then if you run out of belt tension you can get hte next size smaller. I just went to napa and got a Gates belt from them. They keep almost every size in stock and it's half the price vortech sells them for.

hey, while you're waiting you might as well look for a stock block somewhere. You can pick them up online for 500ish so it would be cheaper than using your own engine for a core. Core is 1500$ so you'll be saving money technically. Then you can have that built while you're still driving your car and that reduces downtime. It also keeps your stock engine in your garage for a backup.
