How much boost is too much?

[ma70t]

I wanted to know how many psi can I run if I use forged internals with a compression of 9.0 to 1.
Thanks alot guys!
I was thinking of like 22 to 24 psi on pump gas?

i readlly dont know but it really depends on your mods. i mean like if you have stock ct26 bump it higher than about 14 your running hot air. on the other hand my t78 is "slow" at 14 and when i turned it up to 18 its like a new dam car lol.

 

[ma70t]

so the 9.0 to 1 compression should be ok at 22 psi it wont blow up

boost pressure is irrelevant. 22 psi on a CT26 is NOT 22 psi on a T78. larger turbos flow more air for a given boost pressure. select a power goal, then select a turbo to get you there.....don't select a boost pressure.

To get all Nerdy and taking it as a stock 7MGTE at 24 psi boost and stock Compression ratio I get the effective compression ratio is 18.77:1 and you'd need at a minimum 122 octane fuel to run it.

Math is a wonderful thing. Sometimes I wish I was smarter instead of so damn good looking.....................:biglaugh:

LOL^^^^^^^^^^ :biglaugh:

I would lower the compression a tad bit more before running that much boost IMO. Still a noob to turbos, but engine knowledge is key.

NERD!

effective CR is fun to play with, but in reality it can be a bit different.....heck, my (STOCK) engine has survived 30 psi....

when it go boom.

i don't think the underside of your shoe or foot is worth much....

 

[antman]

lol yeah your probably right lol

ROFLMAO!
(Was just trying to give him an idea why 24/8.5:1/pump gas would be a STUPID idea let alone 9:1)

 

[drjonez]

eh, just run some NAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWZZZZZZZ, that'll help out...
