Hey guys,
I just put in a JWT twin turbo in my car. Right now im only running on 8psi so I dont blow the engine. Is there any small upgrades or change the setup of anything in order to turn up the boost and save the stock block from blowing up. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

 

stay out of boost?

 

C16 and tune for higher boost. I would stay off of high boost when you're on the street though to conserve the reliability of your motor.

 

get it tuned by a pro

Jeremy at our shop is awesome at tuning z's with stock motors

just look at it, don't actually drive it.

 

Do not over boost a stock motor...i'm surprised you're pushing 8psi...man on a hot dry day i think you could blow it...you need internals

 

I would put it down to the stock tune on the SS box of 7 psi. You should be perfect at that psi.

 

8 PSI is fine with a good tune, there are ppl running 10-12 on stock block atm. The best engine mod you can get stock block or not is a proper tune.

 

water/meth injection
run a mix of 101 octane unleaded and premium gas
oil cooler

That's a lot of money to spend without having it tuned by a professional.

Don't be penny wise and dollar foolish.

 

Dude you live in va. go see dave at functiontuned.

 

funny how 3 years ago, we were pushing the limits with anything past 6psi...engines blowing up left and right...when the ignition harness n the emanage blue was an upgraded added extra option

we have come so far, now running 10+psi on a stock block with just the proper tuning and timing retard....

problem is, some can get away with it for a month, a year, and some a day...upgraded connecting rods and pistons are a major component in longevity and safety with F/I on a vq35... but even that can go bad if the break in, tuning, etc. are not ideal.

i know i didn;t answer your question, just made me think back to the old days. just be careful, be happy with the power you are at, dont get greedy until you are ready to go built.

built ones too!! just make sure a reputable shop tunes the car, it is the most important step you will need to take..

 

It's all in the tune. 8psi is a nice, safe and happy number for a stock block given the proper tune.

 

ive had the turbonetics kit on my car running 9.5 psi with only a reflash for 31k miles of boost and no issues whatsoever. Part of it is tune, and i think the other part is luck

 

and whether Nissan built your engine on a Monday or a Friday

 

How are you running 9.5psi, do you a boost controller? And your sig says 400whp but in the other thread you posted 375/380, what gives?

 

i dynoed 375/380 on my first dyno right after install. i was using a borla exhaust at the time. I then changed it up to a complete 3" single exhaust with an N1 on the end and had it dynoed and it made 400 hp and i dont remember the torque... this was a while ago. I use no boost controller. Now i got rid of that exhaust to because that **** was loud... its sitting in my garage for sale and I put on a JIC magic and it sounds amazing. I havent dynoed it with the new exhaust yet... im very anxious to know tho
