    Cold Air Intake, Or Short Ram

    You guys didn't even look at the test data :3d_frown: It's not going to "appear" to be any problem...do an oil analysis and see how much silicon shows up. Of course a fine abrasive inside the motor should not be a problem either when you look at it from the outside ;)

    How much boost is the walbro good for?

    You know what...me too. I give up. Good luck with whatever you and your friend decide to do.

    How much boost is the walbro good for?

    That's just it...guys don't think about HOW THIS REALLY WORKS and crank up the boost. The result is a blown motor. You can ignore the math if you like (and even make smart remarks about it), but it is the way it REALLY WORKS and boost measured in psi MEANS SQUAT. For it to be valid, the...

    How much boost is the walbro good for?

    The turbo is limited by the housing and compressor wheel. However, a couple things you can do to deliver max efficiency: - Exhaust manifold - port the stock one out or go with a header type. - IC piping - 2.5" should be sufficient - IC rated CFM flow - 2.5" inlet/outlet...core flows what...

    How much boost is the walbro good for?

    No, you asked "How much boost is the walbro good for?" sounds a lot like "how much boost can a walbro hold" to me ;) I didn't say boost doesn't increase HP...I said psi doesn't mean squat. It's turbo flow in CFM that produces HP. There's a difference...one a lot of guys do not understand...

    How much boost is the walbro good for?

    Ok...so, you are saying a fuel pump should flow the same for 10 psi on a CT26 as 10 psi on a 4088? Think about that ;) The question should be "What is the Max HP the flow a Walbro can support?" -or- "I want to make 450 HP on a 4088 turbo, will a Walbro flow enough fuel to support this...

    How much boost is the walbro good for?

    LOL...that is really funny. Rich has more knowledge about working on and building these motors in his little finger than you will likely ever have. Typical - you are confusing boost psi with turbo flow. A 4088 turbo is going to flow a LOT more air at 10 psi vs an upgraded CT26 at 10 psi...

    CT-26 Flange Dimensions

    You're pretty new here, so I'm going to let you in on a few things: - This car has few simple answers...more than one guy has spent a boat load of hard earned $$$ and it not work. (just like you are trying to do) - Few people give complete info, hence the questions. Lost count of the...

    No...drop in an AC Delco and be happy ;) http://www.duramax-diesel.com/spicer/index.htm K&N filters are crap...that is unless you like dust in your combustion chambers.

    Anyone with a front mount intercooler have this problem too?

    oil in exhaust manifold

    Might want to have your injectors cleaned & flow tested anyway...I would pay particular attention to #3 ;)

    oil in exhaust manifold

    If an injector cuts out on ya...it will go lean. Really fast and it can happen on a single cylinder too ;)

    Bad Thermostat

    Doesn't happen? Why don't you just post exactly what it's doing vs us playing a guessing game?

    oil in exhaust manifold

    Hard to say from a pic, but the edge looks round and pitted...i.e it went lean and melted the piston.
