Big Turbo Discussion Thread #2
- Thread starter GTR_Killer
- Start date
My motor should be back from the machine shop soon.
Once it's back I guess I'll just drive it until something else goes wrong (probably the trans) then give it to carmax or some sketchball off craigslist out of anger. I'm on the same page as Erball, really over dealing with shit breaking unless I baby the car.

Outside of using a catch can is there a good upgrade for the pcv system?
(for big turbo setups?)

being on the topic of wg springs and pressures,
what springs for what wgs are you guys using or feel is the best for their setup?
Honestly if my motor blows I'm just going to replace it with another stock one and ride it out.. it seems the more modded the engine = more problems. I think JR and Nick had the very least amount of issues with their built engines, but Nick you just have rods right?
Just rods (non-rifle drilled) and head studs. My head has never been touched and is creeping on 115k miles, and the whole thing sees 28-30psi daily. Honestly I'm glad I didn't go any bigger. It seems reliable as shit, spools quickly, and makes really really good power. The overall package I've been really content with.
like what? i mean you could just dump to the ground but not really anything else you can do
14psi spring. rule of thumb is run a spring that is no less than 50% of your maximum boost pressure.
a lot of the failures don't have to do with the build. i'm not seeing anyone chucking rods and andre's failure was fueling related. idk about eric his issues are coming out of nowhere. not sure if i just drive my car less than everybody or i'm getting lucky. my motor should be over 100k now and just has a lot of blowby. the rattle i'm hearing started after my overrev but it's getting louder so i want to just make sure everything is good.
Rods rifle drilled in my case, head studs after i hit 500hp since i got nervous, full farrea valvetrain.
I have 1 bar in mine now and going to up it to about 18psi, want to hold over 30psi. 50% rule seems to be on point like kevin said

Anyone else buy spm exhaust stuff from ecs? None of my flanges mate into the vband clamps. Saving money turns into a headache.

I had a bitch making mine clamp too. It's like the v-band clamps are just a tad too small. It took 3 people to get two of mine on. I like the sound of my SPM, but I hate the fitment.

Ive been back and forth with them, the flanges are just a tad too thick.
Already cut them off and getting some new ones from ffe.

Kevin. Your turbo can make a balls ton more than 28psi. ~35psi more like it. so 14 springs seems too low. no?
