could i run a 12.2
 

Is it possible for my car to run a 12.2 @ 15 psi. I found a piece of paper where i had written stuff about the car when i bought it and that's what he told me it ran.

Take it to the track and find out.

maybe once. 2nd time it would blow up

Only if your car was tunned for the most hp, and you use some drag radials or slicks....IMO I've learned the heard way twice I ran a 13.5 at 6psi, next pass at 10 psi bye bye rear apex seals, get it on a dyno with a wideband and tune that mutha to 11:1 just to be safe, 12:1 is optiumum, but it hard to get it exactly right and you don't wanna blow your engine on the dyno....

what kind of turbo? do you have a map? How big is the FMIC?

I doubt 12.2, high 12's sound more like it.

I still cant believe you are running a to4 w/ an safc. What to4 is it exactly?

haha don't even have the s-afc on it yet i drive the shit out of it too. My car is bulletproof..........Till i post in two weeks damn the motor popped.

i think it's a Garret To4e 60 trim

Do you even know you are running a to4 for sure and the owner wasnt lying out of his ass? Because motors will pop with an fcd and a walbro using the stock turbo, much less a to4 at 1 bar.

it's a huge turbo that says Garret with a 3 inch inlet i doubt it's the stock turbo

Could it be a hybrid... ? with a big cold side?

are you running stock injectors at 15psi....? or are the 850's in...?

but the RX7withNitrous wastegate can control boost (hold at low boost) better than stock wastegate, it isn't the stock turbo's fault, it's the stock wastegate and the wastegate's style of venting.

Thanks for your incoherent post?

lol! Everytime I see rx7withnitrous post I wonder how the engine is still alive. A freaking to4 on the stock ecu and some slightly upgraded secondaries. It defies everything I'v ever known. Time is counting down my friend, I suggest you invest in the next microtech group buy and not go boosting 1 bar all over the place.

God no. We dont need any idiocies in the Microtech section.

I'm just wondering...do you have extra money lying around for a rebuild? Or do you really think its going to last? Seems kind of pointless to waste an engine even if you do have the money :confused:

Word!

Everytime I see it, I can't help wondering why I have so much shit in my car, trying to stop my engine from grenading, when obviously you don't need it ;).

Crank that baby up to 15psi, and make me feel better for having invested a lot of money...

whoops i didn't see it said 1 BAR
read too fast.

the stock ecu is fine as long as you keep boost under 10psi

on a stock turbo....

he's running full t04 on stock ecu and injectors... his afc and 850's arn't even in yet.

there is no way. he must have ecu or injector mods he just doens't know about. since he bought it as is.

Absolutely.

If it were being pulled down the track by an 11 second car.

:rofl: :rlaugh:

The previous owner must have had the ecu remapped or something.

Theres no way. that car HAS to have upgraded secondarys. And for it to have not popped by now on stock injectors is amazing. It defies laws of rotary.

Ya i think it has something upgraded. He told me he ran that at 15psi and it had like 360hp. I was like there is no way it has stock injectors and ecu but it just keeps lasting. Someone come over and take a look at it and go for a ride.

Ya'll should stop flaming him if its still running all power to him, all motors are differen't....

Your license plate is going to bite you in the ass..... Do you have any pixs of your setup? Go look under the passenger kick panel, wouldn't that be nice if there was a surprise....

what do you mean by kick panel what would i be looking for???

He means check the ECU out.

what does the stock one look like or say on it? Doesn't it say mitsubishi or some shit.

also is the kick panel to the left. or is it under the carpet?

Jeez! Bring it to the BBQ on the 24th and we'll look at it.

haha oh shit i forgot about that. Ya i think i will im going to have to let someone go for a ride in. I just don't see how it can pull so hard on stock fuel.

It's under the passanger carpet, stock it'll say something like N3?? (example n370=s5 tII)

haha what if i got lucky and it said HALTECH!!!!!!!!

Then I'd fly down there and swap in a stock ECU and steal the haltech and make everyone in this thread breathe a little easier when your engine goes kerpow. ;)

Are you actually driving it around at 15psi all day? Or are you just asking what it could do at 15psi?

the guy i bought it from said he ran a 12.2 @ 15 psi. I don't think it is running 15psi but i never look down at my boost gauge when im at wot at redline so i could be pushing like 10-13 depending on outside temps and shit.

Hummm... Thats scary if you don't know what has been done to the fuel system. I would drop it down to 8psi and then find out exactly what is on the car. Not my car though, so I hope it holds up for ya.

i can't drop it to 8spi i don't have a boost controller

Oh shit! You did it now! Where's NZvert? :D

haha what?

Even if you did have a boost controller you couldnt drop it down to 8psi. Boost controllers can only raise boost levels above where they would be normally. If you want to lower boost levels, put the stock airbox on or run a cat or something.

why are you guys saying hes gonna pop his motor??
He has a t04e, an FMIC, a fuel controller i mean wouldent a t04e be capable of higher boost levels?? As long as he has the fuel controller and has it tuned then how would he be in danger of poping the engine, unless of corse he was maxing out his injectors...

With a large wastegate you can hold boost at 5He hasnt installed the safc. I just dont like it when he runs around saying hes running a 100% stock fuel system because someone else is going to think they can...

i do have a fuel pump :) i don't think it is stock but i don't know i can only see two injectors and they both have yellow or orange on them don't know what the other two look like. The s-afc is in my room though :)

Two ideas for you.
1) Get on the dyno and see what your A/F ratios are.
2) Look under the carpet at the feet of the passenger compartment and see what ECU you are running. IT IS NOT STOCK.

Maybe GSL-SE injectors.

aren't those like 680's
