Default Need to know some question

Hi everyone,

I finally finish my project and gonna post some pics.

But now, i want to know something.

What can kill an Turbo engine.

I always think that was the heat but someone told me that is the detonation who kill a turbo engine.

So someone can told me who was right.

thanks

yes i know that, all the motor can blow with a lack of oil.

Like Jeff on their setup, some of them blow. How does it blow??

It is because he run to hot or because of detonation?

Running Hot (hot charged air) makes it easier for detonation. This is what kills the engines.. Lack of fuel/spark management and people will also not have setups tuned correctly will blow them up.

heh, no its not that simple.. You need more fuel too dude, at the bare minium a FMU (rising rate regulator) fuel cools the burn down = less chance of detonation.

yeah and more fuel it's sure

no it's because i run my car for 1 week now and i really the felling of the boost but and don't want to blow up the engine.

So i check to be sure what can kill my engine.

So i will check all this but just to be sure, i will go on the dyno with a wideband to be REALLy sure of my setup..

And i just want to thank you jeff for all the support you gave me with answering all my question for my setup.

I really appreciated.

If you want i can send you some pics?
