#91119, "RE: 10psi with 310's and the SFMU......Settings?" In response to In response to 5 Nov-03-05 12:49 PM by Ryan_Hes
Originally posted by Aggression I am just seeing how long I can get away with running 10psi on stock internals by running it a bit rich until I get it rebuilt. See I was running 7psi on my old s16g, but since I bought a slightly used one the wg came preset to 10psi and the wg's are not exhangeable. So I was trying to get away with 10psi for as long as I could or until I get everything gathered for my rebuild. Anyone running 10psi on stockies? When you did your rebuild...what all did you upgrade and/or replace?
First off, I don't recommend running 10psi pom stock internals whatsoever. I wouldn't go over 8psi if I were you. The piston ringlands will go and you'll lose compression.. There have been people taht have ran 10psi and more on stock internals....but eventuallly they all go... hell some motors blow on 5-7psi... the engine just isn't designed to handle that kind of power.
My motor was actually the motot that was in Jason_ESi-T's Black Eagle Talon. He is an older member, and he sold his car to a friend of mine. My friend totalled the car and I bought the engine and dropped it in. Here are the specs:
JE 8.8:1 pistons Crower rods Crankscraper Mellings oil pump Limited Slip Differential in tranny ARP head studs Custom 6 puck ceramic clutch AFX Underdrive pully
Thats the basics of a trypical rebuild. Rods and pistons that can handle the power, a crankscraper to keep oil where it should be, good pump, LSD to help the traction with high boost, a clutch that can hold the power, and I threw in an AFX Underdrive pully just to gain a few extra horses. You also need an Intercooler than can do the job, I'm running a 26" bar and plate IC with 3" inlet and outlet with custom intercooler piping.
