I never said 9.5 was high comp...just a little to high for boost...and are you really comparing our engines to a diesel... hmm...maybe the fact that it RUNS ON DIESEL has something to do with that...oh, or are you converting to that too? so to answer your question...yes

No the main reason they can run that high of boost is because the mount of fuel they inject and how it is injected and ignited, that is why they can run that much compression and boost.

And why is 9.5 high for boost. I wanted to run RX-8 rotors just for ***** and giggles.

Its an IC pipe connector that Arron Cake designed so that you didnt have to use the plastic elbow that is on an NA.

Basically its just an adapter that goes from a lil pipe to a big pipe.

Where to start?

You know that a GT35R pushing 16PSI is good for like 400HP, right?

My original strawberry design is poor. If you are going to copy it, then make a smooth transition between the inlet pipe and where it meets the throttle body.

I am machining out a one off smooth transition for the strawberry, it should not have as much turbulance as you design.

And from the info I read at 16PSI the GT35R is supposed to be at around 350hp but I might have read it wrong. I am new to the performance applications of a turbo, and compressor maps confuse me a lil to be honest.

Well seeing how most of you said it was a bad idea I sold it. $250 isnt that bad and it was in good condition.

So now I am on the search. Wish GReddy still made there front mounts.
