haha cut it out i thought it was a stock b7 with a z6 head nothing more,plus the whole ''bought not built'' thing got boring,levi you need to see it,the car was trashed ive done soo much and now its time for the motor.or should i say the 3rd once since ive owned the car

 

I'm not making fun, do what you want to do. A6's hold up much better than b7's do. You should be fine as long as you tune it.

 

That's exactly what I just said!

It's in a "choked" condition. If you maintain any boost levels, for more than a few moments, the EGT's will climb like a bitch, the backpressure continues upwards, the IAT's skyrocket, and you end up with detonation, which is technically, what caused the failure.

I'm guessing about 200 hp?

 

ask idriveahonda-he built the machine

 

Around there. If I kept that car I was going to do a built block, but going to school 4 hours away forced me to sell.

I think the car is in good hands now, Jared seems to have a good head on his neck.

 

The size he mentioned, leads me to believe the intake is a .42 A/R 50 trim T3, with a .37 A/R T3 standard trim exhaust....

But that's a guess.

That being said, it operates constantly in a state of choke, and the higher the pressure, the worse it gets!

 

No, it is a 37 trim. It says it on the turbo. It is small, but nice.

 

i dont drive the car and stay in boost all day,i stay under 2000 if cruising.i love the turbo it holds its own,and this is my first boost application so every process is a one i learn off of.

 

I used to have a 98 EK and went through 5 motors before I perfected the tune.(t3t04)Turbonetics Turbo, Rev hard manifold, Tial WG @10-16psi Depends on what mood I was in.
I STILL went throgh 4 More because of 5th gear boost. Shit catching on fire under the hood, after I send 2 rods through the block and one into the oil pan. Its going to happen regardless, unless its LOW compression. BTW The best SOHC setup I did was the Y8 bottom end and the Y7 head. 16psi For a good 9 months till I got stupid one Night... also did 13.20 w/ street tires@16psi.

 

haha trust me im staying at 9 or lower.Will prolly get a boost controller too just for crusing matters,just turn it way down for safety.
