1.8 bar Boost, Stage 1 mods, uprated cams, 19" rims lol

Nice be good to c how it Compaires to a rr

 

[roro]

Thanks rob

 

[Jonny IX]

Is it a standard 7 tubby rob ?

 

[foxy lady x]

Looking good

 

[RsvRob]

Steve - thats only 21% drive loss for the 4wd system. Mlr figures usually use 25% lol

Johnny - std 7 tubby I believe yes

Yes its only a vr dyno but I've used actual rr dyno to match settings when mine was done.

 

[foxy lady x]

Is it safe to run such high boost on a standard engine ?

 

[RsvRob]

Yes

 

[Steveyb_evo3]

can they go as high as 2bar?

 

[evoaps]

can they go as high as 2bar?

dont think they do mate

 

[Steveyb_evo3]

whats the limit on a 7 8 or 9 turbo im thinking for mine lol

 

[RsvRob]

7/8 turbo is probably at its limit around the 400bhp mark and 1.8bar boost
9 should push 450bhp and slightly more boost

 

[B6lee]

I thought 1:65-1:70 bar boost was about as much as the 7 turbo could take before it shat itself.

I wanted to run 1:80 on my 7 but was told no and I wasn't allowed

 

[B6lee]

Good figures though rob and a nice torque line

 

[foxy lady x]

It's a 9 turbo but I was under the impression that the 7 rods are weak ?

Same rods as a 6 and 8. 380 is about the limit really

Not seen a IX turbo pull 450 yet mate. That a bit optimistic or no ?

 

[foxy lady x]

factory recommend 350bhp max

i was under the impression the 8 rods were the weak ones thats what a couple of garages said to me last year when i was pricing parts

 

[B6lee]

The rods are always the weakest part of an engine as its the one thing under the most stress.
6/7/8 rods are all the same except 8mr which are thicker.

It's always a gamble with tuning. Alot of it comes down to the mapping also.
I wouldn't want to track a 6/7/8 running 380 bhp. As I've heard that's about the limit of the engine

Another thing to consider is that bhp figures vary from dyno to dyno and day to day so not always 100% accurate
