If I could hit 300 HP with my current non-bb T28, that would be ideal. It sounds like 300 HP on a T28 is pushing it's upper limits and it is blowing a lot of hot air. Is this true?
It's not like the motor/turbo "sits" at 300 hp .
If 'hot air' was a concern, the practice would have never been so popular. Seems "ideal" to me
Buddyworm mention very good points
For extended high rpm periods, definitely open up the hotside.... td06/8cm, stg 3/0.63, etc.... and run a better manifold
Yep, catch can is a good indicator. Engine condition plays a role in that tho.
I noticed a few CA18s I opened had obvious side wear in the cylinder (just like float mentioned in a recent thread)
That can't be good for ring sealing. In fact its the worst of the 4 cyl motors I've seen.
As a comparison, no such wear in any high mileage mitsubishi 4g63 I've ever checked. Not even a ridge
DEM guys build entertaining quick street cars. Monitoring knock via stock ecu keeps em alive and performing so well
Yes, they do make more power and car goes faster as they crank the boost up (n off the map)
Some run race fuel or pump + water/meth/alky injection, when 'set on kill'.
Interesting to note that a few of them switching from evoIII 16g to 20g, ET'd no quicker at the strip. but the peak hp increased as well as the trap speed mph, on the same setup
