need advice for kae-t

it's rebuilt to stock, 550's, emanage, .42/.48t3, evo w.g., mbc, big fmic, ssqv,walbro, z32 filter. what do u guys think she could make safely? how many lbs. should i run? thanks.

[Iamjohnhayes]

the injectors should max in the area of 370 or so hp, however im not a fan of more than 320 hp on stock bottom ends. also you will need to upgrade from the stock clutch if you haven't allready.

i think the turbo would prob max out somewhere around 300 but im not sure so dont quote me. if you have a compressor map then it would be easy to see what you turbo can handle.

i have a dual friction. and i was just asking cuz i was told this turbo would only be good for like 220 at the wheels. i plan on running 10lbs.. what do yall think that will amount to?

[Iamjohnhayes]

i would throw a fuel pressure regulator on it and run it. see what you can do while you tune it.

fpr isnt a bad idea but your stock one is 1 to 1.

[hek1620]

i thought i needed one, but i was told that the stock fpr was good for my set up.

12 valveturbo, how long have u had ur setup? what is ur setup? had any problems?

[hek1620]

well i guess u too iam'.

[12valveturbo]

I've had my same fuel setup for a few years(72# injectors,walbro pump,and stock fpr). Im not trying to say an aftermarket one is a bad idea, Im just saying at the power level your looking for you may not need it. Adjustable ones are great but your money might be better spent on something else for now.

[hek1620]

thats what i thought. i spent the extra money on an emanage. actually it was only $25 more than the safc2. how much power are u making at what boost levels? internals?

[12valveturbo]

I honestly dont know how much power I have right now.I havent been to the dyno since I destroyed 3 pistons.It made 300hp at 15psi with three destroyed pistons.I have forged pistons now and its tuned but I havent had time to dyno it yet.300 something though

[hek1620]

thats why i don't want to do more than 12psi. but my engine is also rebuilt so hopefully she'll last.
