So the people I want to reply in the thread are ones who have ran boost on a stock bottom end (pistons, rings, rods). Even if you broke something in the motor, still post up. Post only cars you own(ed). Here is the format I'd like to see it in:
- Type of Forced Induction (Turbo/Supercharger)
- Boost Amount
- Miles on the car when FI installed
- Miles ran since FI has been on the car
- IF you broke the motor, list what was broken.
I will create a list once I get a decent amount of entries. Thanks  . |
- STS Rear-mount Turbo with FMIC, CC228 cam on a 116LSA, and 317 heads.
- 5PSI
- 18K miles when installed
- 37K miles when removed.
Never broke anything in motor. Only wear noted on engine H/C swap afterwards was excessive wear on forward-most cam bearing. Cylinders, pistons etc had some carbon buildup, but were otherwise in excellent shape.
Car dynoed 453RWHP/ 432RWTQ with a 11.1 to 1 AFR on a 2-bar SD tune.
