#62334, "finally, i turned up the boost and the cluch held!"
after months of having my car stuck in a million pieces in the garage for the cluch/flywheel upgrade, getting broken into and then having to wait for everything to be returned to the original shape, and another few weeks of waiting for the clutch to be decided it will finally hold some boost, i got to run 10+ psi today. on the highway i cranked the Profec-B up to 55%, which translates to about 1.2 bar on my setup. 1.2 bar ~ 17 psi. 3rd gear never felt so good. scared the crap out of me, IN THE RAIN. no tire slip. the NSR LSD works pretty damn well. far better than i expected. 4th gear was very good too. even 5th pulls pretty damn hard even from around 3500 rpm's at about 75 MPH.
so... other people with 415 cc/min injectors, 8.6:1 compression, and the S16G what is the general consesus for the upper limit of boost using pump gas (93 octane) on these injectors? my fuel pressure was about 95 psi around 1.0 bar, i haven't really had a chance to check it with 1.2 bar or 17 psi yet. i think my rising rate is slightly less than 3:1 with my current S-FMU disk. it's the 2.72" if i remember correctly. i re-calibrated my oxygen sensor voltage thingy today and i get about .95-.96 volts at redline with 17 psi. what do you guys think?

my best time is in my sig... that was at 12 psi, untuned, drunkally gapped spark plugs, drunk 1G SMIC setup, drunk stock exhaust piping with a ghetto muffler, and tires that weren't broken yet. i dyno'ed with the same setup about a week earlier and pushed 230 WHP and 245 WT.
