Posted by RyaN95i4, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
1. John’s RS-T – Daily, 6 PSI – Track, 9 PSI- 1 year strong, and still going!

2. Kurt's GS-T - Stock Engine, 8 PSI, 1 Year (Replaced with built motor, nothing wrong with block (210 psi across all cylinders), just wanted more boost) - Built Engine, 10 PSI, 5 months (waiting for weather to get better and turn up the boost)

3. Justin RST- 6 months(12,000 miles) of abuse at 8psi, many spikes to 10-11psi...93 octane, stock injectors, base FMU, Motor still in great shape!

4. Extremes’ RS-T – 9 psi daily, for a while and motor was ok. Ran 11 psi then cracked a ring land

5. Jsupetran’s RS-T- 5 psi daily, nothing more – after many 350 mile trips from school to home, still going strong!

6. Lee's RS-T: 19 or 10 psi daily. Depending on what level I set the two stage boost controller to. Built motor with Wiseco pistons

7. Dark Reality RS-T - Star Stage 2: Daily 8psi-10psi, no problems till upgraded to 36lb injectors and 12,000mi of boosting, then cracked piston. forced rebuild-12 psi daily- till 50lb injector upgrade-18-20psi daily. no problems yet. currently fuel system change in progress

8. Thomas RST Star Stage II-little over a year at 7 pounds, just turned it up to 8.5 =) 5,000 miles over due for a timing belt change and no runs at the track

9. . Mark's RS-T – Seldom Driven (been down for a long time for a new head gasket, unrelated to turbo), 7 to 8 PSI (regulated by an Apex'i AVC-R), street only, 7 months, 2000 miles moremoremore

10. RyaN95i4 -
Pump gas: 1.5 yrs at 8-10psi then 6months at 12psi (daily)
Pump gas + xylene: 15psi (intermittenly throughout the first 2 years, also saw rare spikes to 18-20psi)

Car was daily driven, and ALWAYS driven hard -- have yet to meet anyone who drove their car as hard as often as I do. During this time, motor had never been opened. Fuel setup: 30lb injectors, SFMU, walbro. s16g w/ FMIC.

Eventually cracked a ringland after 2 years of abuse (and 3/4 cylinders still had perfect compression). Piston failure was due to fatigue, not detonation.

Now, car runs 18psi daily: built motor + 8inj setup.
