ok last night.. this guy barry we all know waslike yea we was working on so and sos new GST

and we turned it up to 35 psi on accident

said it had a t3/t4

im like umm the wastegate wont let you.. hes like ohh he has (i forgot what he said) but he said a modded one..imlike umm ok...

im like how did u know 35?? hes like the boost gauge was at 30 and pushinggg..

im like whateva man 35 with no internals at all


ok so some answers

can u go 35 on a t3/t4..

and wouldnt 35 kill that motor? or no??

yea 35psi would definity roast a stock gs-t engine but how long was it at 35psi is the question? Ive hit 12psi before on stock 420A, doesnt mean it couldnt blow it sky high at any given point. I was just lucky.

my friends blew his gst by pegging a 30 psi gauge...for about a week. he knew he was doing a rebuild so he just upped the boost.

engine lasted about a week, finally went when he was racing on the highway. car was fast...for about a week ;) no idea how much boost he was running, cause his gauge was pegged beyond 30 psi.

its not like, oh u hit 30 lbs, kaboom. the first day i installed my stage 1 turbo, i hit ~20lbs for just a split second, no internals, no intercooler, stock injectors. i let off right away, and i still have perfect compression after 2 months of boosting appropriate boost levels since (7psi right now, intercooled)

yep remember you have gauges for a reason ^_^

detonation is a mo-fo to an engine. ;)

dood, he must be running 150 octane leaded race super fuel or he is an idiot, i think the latter... stock internal engines are good for near 28psi or about 2 bar

evan you and me both know that barry is a chronic liar who wants desperatly to sit at the cool table. o btw he also says that he has a turbo sitting in the garage for his altima (hehe yeah right) but he cant even pay for himself at burger king.

This isnt the usual person whom posts on this name, Im Jon, im just passing throo was bored over at my friends house *whom was looking at this post, and decided to post a lil sumfin*
the t3/t4 USUALLY doesnt respond well to above 28-30lbs of beast
i drive a GrandNational with a t5 running 15~20lbs of boost *until the FMIC comes in in a week or so then its goin up to 28~30 due to there being not much/any power gain after ~21lbs un-ic'd*
all of the guys i know whom have t6s/t7s only run 30-38lbs due to mass engine stress *and thats on the grandnational engines with MAJOR engine internals... NOT the STOCK 4g63* i personally dont even think that a little t3/4 would be even capable of producing 35lbs of beast, the t5 i believe is only capable of ~35lbs MAX, the t6 ~40, and t7 ~46 *not sure completely but i wouldnt operate any of those above those levels*, but ya know it all depends on what your engine can handle
