bbq bob wrote:went to churches today after greg installed my 7psi urd pully and got 303whp & 282lbft, still came up 2whp short of franks aka jetbtkng #'s, but i believe im the 2nd in the history of solaraguy to do this on a stock engine, @ 7psi, also just want to state that i had the most powerful stock auto too, @ 272whp, franks dont count cause his engine is built, so if u want this kind of hp & reliabilty u have to do what frank & i did, just ask greg or gabe for the proper advice, we're the only one;s to achieve these #'s, jetbtkng & myself.......

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Question...were you able to pull off those numbers on premium pump gas (93 octane) or were you using higher octane gas, like racing gas? Also, I was under the impression that our stock motors can withstand up to 6 psi and anything higher will eventually blow your motor. Please fill me in on the details of your setup and if its a safe setup for a stock motor. Thank you.

lol, lets do it! it would be awesome to meet up somewhere where almost everyone can make it, that would be a huge meet

Can you say....N/A VQ35DE Datsun Z?

ohhh chet! that would be one crazy set up!

DOH! Got a bit excited in my "maiden voyage" to work on the Supra with the new T04z... spooled it up a bit too aggressively to blow past some ricer on the highway and as I shot past, I hear a loud POP!!! followed by an IMMEDIATE drop in boost and power... followed by a "scraping/dragging" sound! WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!


...fortunately, upon further inspection on the side of the road, I had simply BLOWN my intercooler hard pipe CLEAN OFF under the car and it was dragging/grinding on a T-clamp bolt head until I came to the stop! A few minutes with a wrench and a soiled shirt and slacks later, and I was OFFFF to the office back on the boost like a champ!


Damn! I thought the NEW TURBONETICS silicone couplers (HEAVY DUTY thickness, no less) with quality Turbonetics T-clamps would surely HOLD the boost in check... so I'll have to revisit my torque-age levels and hard-pipe affix method before getting TOO greedy with the pressure again! ...maybe later tonight... heh heh heh...
