How many psi???

Re:My turbo D17...thanx to HMT
 

it only gonna be like 5 or 6
but until i get to the dyno i was gonna just leave my wastegate unattached. That would be fine to i wouldn't boost right?

correction..it's 4 lbs without the injectors install
stock injectors.(7/9/04)

Re:My turbo D17...thanx to HMT
 

Just put it on but stay under 4000 RPMs. Be sure to fill up w/ 91+ octane when you dyno. Check for detonation too...

Re:My turbo D17...thanx to HMT
 

coo. I've been runnin 93 octane since january
im uploading a video too
give me a minute :P

Re:My turbo D17...thanx to HMT
 

is this all i have to do
just keep it under 4 thousand RPM's :-\

Re:My turbo D17...thanx to HMT
 

Rods are very small on d17's i would not boost anything more then 8lbs.. Looks good though!

Re:My turbo D17...thanx to HMT
 

Because boost dictates exactly how much horsepower you have and anything over 8 they would break... ?? uhm no ::)

I've inspected d17 rods and they look just like all the rest of D-series rods, probably can hold 250hp no problem.

Nice setup man, get some more pics!

Re:My turbo D17...thanx to HMT
 

thanx
ima get some more pics up
my goal today was just to make sure everything is tight.
i might take it back out for a longer drive to see what happens. My goal was only to break 200 hp wit stocks intrenals.

i gotta whole bunch on pics here
