10:1 Compression, Too High to Turbo?
 

I got a Ford Probe with a 2.5 klze in it, everyone on the probe forums seem to think its too high of compression and would blow.

Has anyone Done it ( homemade style) successfully, what psi did it hold, how long did it last

Re: 10:1 Compression, Too High to Turbo?
 

about as long as i did with your Mami :D
J\p


That seems ok....my B16 is up in the 10.1 somethin like that and will hold 10 psi with a tune....
you should be good

I never fucked with a probe b4 though so Im not too sure :X

You should be fine. It just lies in the tune. Look at the compression ratios of alot of honda engines that people boost with good results.

i've been DD'ing a y7/y8 mini me (10:1 compression) with a wrx turbo at 10lbs self tuned for 2 years now. i do have some detonation issues though and have had to pull more timing than normal.

its definitly doable and with a great tune would be minty. with a self tune you might run into life-term issues after a while. i just need to survive long enough to get some vitara's in :-P

What exactly do they say will "blow" on the engine? The headgasket? Pistons? Things break for a reason. Tune plays into it alot. Detonation and spikes in cylinder pressures "blow" engines. Avoid both with proper intercooling and fuel/ignition tuning.

Well as ive been reading they say theres no chips or anything for the probe gt, there is a chip but its not tuneable

so as for fuel i would have to get some kind of fmu, fuel pump, and i guess injectors

Well if thats the case have fun blowing it to pieces. Post pics when said event occurs.
