In the past I’ve...

    it finally happened BHG

    Hey I could be wrong, it wouldnt be the first time. Maybe I have been a bit too quick to call BHG. Lucky it's not my daily driver so I can take my time and check it out a bit more and I think I will do a leak down test just to put my mind at rest. Thanks for the help

    it finally happened BHG

    I figure if its pushing coolant out of the top of the radiator than there is a good chance pressure is coming from the cylinders, I could be wrong but I dont think I am. In any case I've had a really good run with this motor Ive been running it hard on 14psi for a while now with a stock head...

    it finally happened BHG

    Well it finally happened I got the dreaded BHG, well I’m 99.9 percent sure I do anyway. My car isn’t showing the regular symptoms of a BHG, no water in the oil or oil in the radiator, temp is fine no spikes, never over heated. But if I undo the radiator cap while the motor is running I get...

    High flow CT26 max PSI?

    For what it's worth I'm running a "TurboA" turbo on my car when I took it in to be tuned we noticed that there was bugger all difference between 14psi and 16psi so it was left at 14psi. As long as your motor is healthy I'd try turning it up to around 14psi and see how you go from there yours may...
