11.7 lbs of boost?!?!? you are a brave soul

 

not scared at all...motor is running great and my A/F's are good...stock motors are *usually* good up to about 425-430 wheel...im still in the safe zone

 

still pretty risky considering the weakness of the stock rods. if i were you i'd only be running 8-9 lbs daily just to be safe cause rebuilding a motor is expensive.

 

not worried...whats the worst that can happen!? blow a motor and build for higher hp?? haha

 

I like the way you look at that Travis... very positive..haha.... dude i'm still trying to get over how frikin huge the E-pipe is.. DANG MAN.

 

well if you're looking for the worst, here's my take on worst that can happen:

motor blows chunks

puts a rod through the block (complete new block, not just rebuild)

at the same time the piston comes into contact with a valve or 2, now you have a bunch of projectiles flying around in your combustion chamber, destroying your head (now you need new heads as well)

some of those projectiles get out of the engine and makes its way to your new gt35r turbo, now you need a new turbo

so worse case, your looking at a completely new longblock, and a new turbo, plus a bunch of other little stuff...

if i were in your shoe's, i'd back down to 8-9 psi and save up for a forged bottom end, then turn up the boost once you have that...

 

see, iv already thought about all that...thats why im looking at the GTM long block...already built for what i want and only 6g (still pricey but not out of range)

as for the turbo...that could be shitty...but thats a chance ill take...11 psi is so much fun...

you only live once right??? ill just be everyones ginny pig haha

 

so are you planning to run it till it blows or till you can afford to buy the gtm engine?

 

yes

 

honestly...im not sure haha...i can afford it right now...but dont wana do the work haha

i really dont think its going to blow anytime soon...maybe after a year or so of HARD driving....but as of right now...i think its going to last quite a while

ill proly just wait till i get bored of this power then go ahead and buy the new stuff...plus if i do it when i have a good motor still, i think gtm will buy my old motor?...i donno for sure tho

 

now for the important question:

so when are you taking it to the drag strip?

 

lol ask travis about a 19

 

19?

 

Very cool build. Definitely wont be messing with that car any time soon.

 

Hey, we can all go tomorrow! I will be hitting the drag strip

 

i wana go...i was thinking about friday...but i wana get my LSD in first and iv been really lazy haha

but as for the 19....F**K YOU! haha i have nothing more to say ahha
