well if i go past 6 it will be more a 1/4 mile machine, run low comp pistons, thicker head gasket. get the compression way down. swingarm extensions, run an intercooler and meth injection.
But for now it will be a daily driver so im stickin ot 5-6 psi.

 

with low compression pistons you wont need a thicker head gasket. shy away from using a thicker head gasket. it changes the drivetrain dimensions and f^%ks things up.

 

drivetrain dimensions? What do you mean by that?

 

it raises your overall height of the cylinder head which changes your timing. the timing chain will be tighter. it makes it harder to get the timing adjusted to factory spec.

 

I joined this forum and bcsportbikes.com just for this thread!!!!! i have a 01 R6 that i plan on starting a turbo project in Oct. once my Project truck is done PLEASE PLEASE KEEP US POSTED!!!!

would it be possible to get your email or yahoo messenger id so we can talk more??

 

NICE

 

nice good luck

 

i am working on a similar project 2001 r6 and plan to use a stock turbo from a wrx....i need to know how you supplied oil to the turbo and what psi your getting in oil pressure

 

use the oil pressure switch as a feed. you will need to restrict the oil supply to the turbo so use a 0.060" orifice.

 

where on the engine is that located?
