av a look lads my first rs turbo few probs at mo but can wait till its running rite

200bhp runnin 16-17psi

 

mint brother........just bin those rims

 

is that a pace interwarmer? if so i'd turn the boost down to atleast 14psi

Looks a ruddy nice car mate

 

same here mate nice motor but change the rims

 

sweet car but rims don't suit

 

why would i av to turn the psi down ?? am i in danger ?

cheers lads

 

I ran 16psi on a std cooler, 17 will be fine on a Pace double size

 

sound as boys lol just need it running now

 

sweet mate!! just make sure you get it set up, don't just wind the boost up

 

would i need it rollin roaded for the set up to be spot on ?

 

Rolling Road or a road setup by a well known tuner IMO, don't skimp on it (tuning) and you'll be fine

 

I was ran 19 psi in my old s1 for 3 years not a prob if its all set up.

 

It would be a problem @ 19psi cos the ACT's will be sky high

It's not what the engine can take, but what the intercooler can provide

 

every one ses about the act's being to high running over 14psi on a standard intercooler yet my self and other people on here have run this kind of boost and not blown an engine up so whats the problem its not like were bull shitting when i have seen it with my own eyes on my boost guage running above 14psi o s/i.and i sold the car and is still going strong running more boost than i was and its a 1.8 cvh with a high comp bottem end and an rs head ,running that kind of boost i would of thought that it would of blown a long time ago but it hasent and know putting the same engine and set up (s/i included)in an xr2 to take up the pod .!

 

14psi is NOT 19psi

If you had bothered to look, you will see i actually said
so

 

That boost is pefectly fine for the intercooler. Runninf 19psi on a std intercooler, is however, silly.

Big boost and poor cooling is fine for short bursts in the lower gears, but hold it for any length of time, and this is where u are likely to run into problems. You are unlikely that she'll melt if the igntion has been set accordingly, but you WILL lose peformance. For example, a track car using a std turbo and cooler, should be set to 11psi max for best peformance, with as much advance as possible.

First mod on an RST should be a good intercooler and breather system

 

what bout gettin a -34?? what does this do bin told i need one could be why when i boost it gets to 17 -18 and drops loads and doesnt seem that rapid at the mo ????????????
