Whats the max boost standard 1.6 cvh turbo rods can take????? Ive got cosworth racing pistons but standard rods.

 

i think nick from PF is running 20/25psi on standard pistons and rods so...

 

I ran 26psi on standard rods, no issues in the 15k I put on the engine

 

Im runnin 18psi at the mo but dont know if i turn the boost up when i put my bigger injectors in its going to blow itcomp ratio is 7.95.1 if that helps???

 

This was spec, engine was rebuilt before I bought it so can't tell you the comp is sorry

fuck me mate 18psi on blues i would be VERY carefull i maxed mine out @ 6psi

 

19psi and at one point we were revving to 7700rpm!

 

I know mate i think thats what the det noise is,got a set of light greens the other day but dont know what hp there good for.any ideas??

 

Is the engine still alive????

 

no it throw a rod but it wasnt boost it was the revs that killed it mate

 

no mate but the blues are only good for 170 max

 

what sort of power was that making then??

 

Revs did indirectly cause it to break yes, but it was technically me being a chump that killed it!

I 'may' have slightly over revved it whilst on a spirited drive....

 

i no i remember jamie telling me you held it in 3rd a bit to long i was gutted when it went bang you got great power out of it.

 

The current one is doing even more! It made 265bhp on the limiter at 19.5psi!

 

cool mate he got mine upto just over 261@16psi, he's in the middle of my new 2.1 st170 turbo lump cant wait to see what he gets out of that
ps if i remember correct it was only a rod bolt that faild

 

Should be interesting!

What are you putting that in?

 

just under 246bhp 245.? sold the graph with the car
