Any advice with this combo?

[HotRudyRod]

Hi, i finally got everything ready to raise the boost to 2 bars now. Here is the list of all the parts i got, i would apreeciate your advice on how to make the best out of my basic set up.
Radar Ultimate chip for stock injectors, 3 bar map sensor, 255 hi pressure Walrboro fp, billet hi pressure fuel reg, Progresive Alki Kit from Julio, Turbonetics boost controller and a stoichiometric and 35 lbs autometer gauges. I also have datamaster to keep tabs on everything.
I have a exhaust cut off valve right after the cat and a K&N filter as my only "mods" right now and i havent recorded the 1st baseline datamaster run yet. What steps you guys that have gone trught this already would recomend me to follow and what not.
I also have some doubts on how to use the boost controller or what it's supposed to do, i think i read it would let me get rid of the catalizer and avoid boost spikes or something like that.
Thanks a lot before hand and pleaze let me know any suggestions that come to your mind.

P.s.Do i need to upgrade the ignition yet?

if you are using a boost valve then i'm assuming you are only using the ultimate chip for its timing settings correct?

you must have done away with the boost selonoid removing the ECU from the boost control loop correct?

if so, i'd turn down the boost as low as possible to start and work your way up from there using datamaster, adjusting your fueling, gapping your plugs, etc.

raise the boost over 2 bars now

Are you saying you want to go above 30psi of boost?

1 bar = 14.7

I suspect you mean a 3 bar map sensor, with 1 of the bars being vacuum.

lets give rudy a break...he's from way deep down in mexico...actually, his english is pretty good considering he's from there...not very much support down there from what i can tell...there are very few sy's down there and they're only known mod is NOS (when they're not blown up)...

rudy,

Ahh ok, that makes more sense. I'll delete my post. Sorry.

Anything over 20 psi will break your pushrods and piston ring lands.
Id say fine tune the 18-20 psi area and stay there if you want this engine to live longer.
Now if you want more than 350 hp you got to upgrade the internals ( pistons and pushrods) may be do the 4bolt mains, better heads(!!!) bigger injectors , bigger turbo ,camshaft , bigger intercooler(A2A).........translate this in USD its more than 6K

Then its TRANNY time :roll:

Wellcome to the syty world

i think he should be able to run over 20 psi with a finely tuned alky kit. dan is running 26 psi with no knock on alky here. not saying it will hold up for long, but a few track passes should be ok. if you want to run that much boost though you should get a bigger turbo that will have the same cfm at a lower psi because the stock turbo is way passed its effective range.

We are running 22-24 here on a local truck, they key is when you push that limit everything must be right, one false step and get out the wallet.

Im running 100 oct. two #15 meth injectors , 29 psi of boost and 28* advance but i got a bowtie short block in the garage (also a second tranny)

Yeah of course im kiddin, nahhn i actually was thinkin 1 bar was 7.5 and 14.7 was 2 and anything over it was 3. Sorry but its been a while since i read the basics. I'm gonna have to reread it all over again.

P.s. Thanks Servando for keepin the funny guys at bay but it was funny indeed.
