This is 'for teh lose'. If you can't write, spell, punctuate, and use proper grammar, nobody will take you seriously, on the internet or elsewhere. There are exceptions, as shown above in quotes, but they are rare.

The new Porsche engine uses a similar setup, only it's a variable vanes instead of nozzle. 500hp with full spool by 1500 rpm would be awfully damn nice! Well, as long as you have traction control, I guess. All the others I've seen are built for diesel engines, which have much lower EGTs...

OEM bolts are 72 foot pounds.

Stock modified... heh, the modifications consist of painting it blue.

I really should point out that my success does NOT make it safe for anyone to try pushing 18+ psi through their engine on a stock HG. Your mileage may vary. Keep in mind I was TRYING to kill the motor. Emulating what I was doing will probably end up with the same or similar carnage in your...

That's what I did with my last motor that had a stock HG. I was slowly building another 7M with forged internals at the same time, so when I got that done and was ready to swap it in, I cranked up the boost a couple PSI every week until I blew up the stock HG. It was actually pretty tough to...

Yes, the turbo oil seals fail reasonably regularly. Not to say that if you get them fixed it'll just die again, probably not for another 20 years! However, a good number of the ones in the field now that are still factory original are either dead or on their last legs.

Me either. That sig is way over the size limits set for the site, too, both in height AND in raw filesize.

I suspect there was something else happening here. I've run a lot more boost than that on a stock HG without any problems. Now if you start to run into detonation, that gasket won't last long - but then again, neither will your stock pistons. Last engine I ran with a stock HG, by the time I'd...

Will they touch when your engine torques over because your motor mounts are broken? :)

Wear a thimble ( or three ) from your girl's sewing kit. Only women would think to armour their fingers. :biglaugh:

/me hates braided lines. /my forearms hates them too.

If you change to a non-bolt in turbo, you'll probably switch to a Vband outlet, too. I'll throw my vote in for the BIC DDP - I bought one of the first ones, I've had it on my car through two engines and three turbos now. It fits perfectly, performance is better than anything else I've seen...

Pot, meet Kettle. :p

The biking here is fantastic. I've been an avid mountain biker for over 20 years now, it's super fun!

This one: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/princewilliam23/332.jpg looks like it has a ding in the lip at about 5 oclock. :(

Possible, yes. Likely, no. Trying to prep the block without the ability to get it cleaned properly afterwards is more than likely going to end up with iron dust from the lapping process in your bearings. Your bearings will not appreciate this. So, you need to decide whether you're happy with...

It clicks? I can't hear SHITE when the turbo starts to spool. :) That's almost exactly where mine is too - but I used the lower bolt hole that you can see in your photo...
