a stupid mistake
 
yesterday i put the turbo on my car and when i got to the shop i realized i forgot my 450,s at home so i thought 10 miles wasnt bad if i keep it out of boost but i caught a red light and did a full drag launch 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and then bang 15 minutes of fame it has a hole in the blockthe size of a baseball now i gotta put another engine in by tonight should i boost again

That was with your stock injectors? I don't see how you were even able to build boost. :-\ It would have fallen on it's face if you tried to boost.

it went past 10 psi but then i had to look at the road
but i was told that a ihirhb5 is set at 7psi what could be the problem the wastegate is hooked ou to a nopple on the turbine housing is that right

All the time and effort to boost your car, and then you blow the whole thing doing something stupid like that? You may be up for an award this year. :D :-[

Re:a stupid mistake
 
hold on--you're asking if you should boost again???? I'd be asking if you should be allowed to have children. :P

btw, I love your sig, that pretty much sums up what you did huh

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH what did you think was going to hapen?

I have a long rant about stupidness and running no fuel manegement.

long story short.

96 prelude, turbo, vafc, no msd, no fuel pump, no injectors, fmu. he used his air fuel gauge as a shift light.

and he blamed me when it blew up. lol.

I still don't understand how the hell he even boosted with no fuel. I can't see it reving past 3500 with no fuel. I have done this before(yeah, I know it's dumb)and I couldn't rev past like 3500 without eating the dash. I could only build like 2psi before it fell on it's face. Strange.... :-\

What do you mean "build boost" ?? I could run 15psi on stock 240's and spool a T25 no problem..?? ???

Dont feel to bad man, I did the EXACT same thing on my first project, maybe not as bad, and as quick.. But I was out the first day raping the ---- out of my car with no management and blew every ring land, and scorched the head gasket. Good lesson, but man.. I still remember like it was yesterday, haha I still remember the look on that guys face in the mustang.. classic 8)

Re:a stupid mistake
 
That's crazy. I don't know why I waasn't able to. ??? It wouldn't even hit 2psi and it sure wouldn't hit redline. :-\
