max boost

[s7mgte]

whats the max boost the 7mgte motor can handle with a new metal head gasket, arp head studs and stock internals?.. ive heard around 20psi but wanted to make sure....

 

[Nomad707]

i suggest running 9-10.

your going to hit fuel cut around 10-12, the stock turbo can only handle 16 psi that is if its good.

i have an upgrade ct26 with 60-1 trim..im not worried about the turbo.. iwanna know what the motor can handle before it will mess up.. ill have 550's safc walbro and lax afm.. all i want to know if how much boost can the motor take..

 

[88supraFAST1]

if the motor is strong, well maintained, i would say 18-20 that is if everything is good.

also what do i need to eliminate fuel cut?

 

[88supraFAST1]

FCD (fuel cut defender) or a standalone ecu.

 

[MDCmotorsports]

89psi.

SEARCH.

i got apexi safc 2..will that do it?

 

[88supraFAST1]

that doesn't control fuel cut

Don't plan on getting an FCD and turning the boost up. You'll blow the motor. An FCD is kinda like having a friend tell you drugs are good, mmkayyy. Before you know it, your fried.
EDIT: You could blow the motor.

 

[cactus_mole]

do you have a MHG? If not, I suggest getting one. And ARP head studs.

What in the worthless questions to ask....

First, get that 'max boost' crap out of your head. Boost = pressure in manifold = resistance to flow.

What are your power goals, and what do you want your torque curve to be like?

Never look at a turbocharged system as just 'how much pressure can I run'

That said, just how much pressure you can run, depends on a hell of a lot more variables than just what motor you have, or what internals - what are you using for engine management?

very well put Doward you make a very valid point.

If you have a properly installed MHG, boost is he least of it's worries (the gasket). You will blow something else up before a properly prepped and installed MHG With ARP hardware will go... If you don't believe me, ask a few on here who have done this (IJ. for example).
