73062, Nearing completion, opinions wanted. Posted by nosdeclipse, Jun-24-04 11:32 AM
Well, within the next week to 2 weeks my car will be back together. i am looking for some opinions as to what boost i should run, of course i want to run the highest that is the safest with my setup. so, here is everything and i will let you guys be the judge. also keep in mind i have access to a dyno (2 miles from my house) so i will have it tuned pretty good. also how many runs do you think i will need on the dyno to get it set up?
8.8:1 forged je pistons forged eagle rods 400 cc injectors sfmu safc clutchmasters stage 3 clutch clutchmasters aluminum flywheel phantom grip lsd web turbo grind cams datalogger star stage 2 with ball bearing turbo joe p mbc turbo xs type h bov underdrive pulley apexi turbo timer egt gage boost gage fuel pressure gage test pipe 2.75" cat back
i may be forgetting one or two things but that should do it. this of couse will be after the 500 mile break in period. opinions?

It all depends on your rubber, and your driving ability. My car made 265 fwhp on the dyno, but I can't even get it into the 13's. :shrug I'm not a bad driver, I have my Z in the 12's.

I agree, unless you get slicks or all you race is on the highway or from a roll then you would be pretty set. I would personally run 15 psi daily. I wouldn't run any more until you get some bigger injectors.

As far as how many runs on the dyno... I would say depending on how much boost you will run in between 3-8 runs to get the fuel curve pretty good. I actually ran it 16 - 18 times (on two seperate days). The first time I didn't have the SAFC so we were jacking with the SFMU and the bleed valve, the second time we were fine tuning with the SAFC.

you're saying i should only run 15 psi with 400 cc injectors? i bought these off of dougie22 and he said he was easily running 18-20 psi.

Depends on what else you have done to your fuel setup. 15 should be easily attainable with 400's. Your block is certainly built well enough to handle it. What does your whole fuel setup look like?

Agreed, I'd stick at 15. Your fuel setup can certainly handle it. If you want more boost your going to have to go to the 8 injector setup or something like that.
