On an escort rs turbo with std internals, front mount cooler and a T3 with a 360 thrust bearing? std cam, std bore exhaust with 1 box, is it safe for 17psi?

 

take it somewhere to be set up for a chip and bar of boost

 

nothing safe unless tested

 

yeah it'll be fine

Do what they said, get it set up somewhere

Karl Norris pushes his stage 1 to around 17 psi with a front mount have a look on his website it explains it better

 

engines more than good for 17psi standard mate, as long as its in good nick!

 

my mates tuner told him no more than 16 on standard internals or it'll start to det. low comp pistons together with other mods are needed if you want to take it much further.

 

My last engine was standard internals and that was run at 17psi. Only failed thanks to a poxy valve sheering at the collet and colliding with the pistons

Mind you had it not failed I wouldn't have built the engine it now has

 

Ok, ive got a chip and a turbo with a 360 bearing so the turbo is upto the job, just wanted to know what boost its safe to run, its getting setup next saturday on the rollers

 

you got the ecu then fella?

 

a chap on here runs 24psi peak on his xr2 turbo, std internals (worked head and cam though) on a 2wd cossie cooler. setup by karl at NMS.

goes alright

 

yeah, got the ecu big wig , didnt realise u was on here
