I was told if i was gonna turbo a Y7 on stock internals, that i would be bending rods with in the first month, i dont that would be the case since i am only planning on running 8 psi at the track and 5 for daily driving.

I was also told adding ne thing more then 30 h.p. to a d-series would also cause rods to bend.

 

Dont listen to the people that told you that. they are idiots.

 

they will support 10.

 

i ran 7.5-8psi daily for 6000 miles...running 9psi now. waiting to get it on a dyno to see what hp i'm getting. w/b tuned with a techedge at 9psi. stock rods are good for about 200whp so i've heard. i'm thinking i'm at about 180-190whp now.

 

What are you planning to run built?

 

all or nothing huh lol.

sounds like a really interesting project, take lots of pics and i'll put some up on my site for people to link to.. but cant host doesnt support external downloading.

 

The rods aren't weak, but they aren't that strong either.

My D16Y7 flattened connecting bearings, but this was entirely because I did not pay attention to the detonation.

The motor lasted almost 5 months with pinging at 5-6 psi daily, with me hot rodding around.

That should tell you something.
