Would you run 72lbers if you were shooting for 500 or step up for insurance?codyace wrote:500 whp would be a good 'limit' for 72lbers
Cool beans. What happened to Black Bear BTW? I knew there was a reason I keep you around LOL.otterman wrote:RyDog, go 810/850s. I'll be out of town until next week sometime so I dont know if I'll talk to you on AIM or not about it.
I'll be sure to get you that video too.
As far as I know the idea is that 80% duty cycle is the max, I don't think it's possible to have a problem because your duty cycle is too low.srdub-t wrote:I still think that 850's is too big, you wanna be at 80% duty cycle

If I knew I was going for 500 whp, and that was all the more it would ever be, I'd be happy with 72lbers.redtop91 wrote:Would you run 72lbers if you were shooting for 500 or step up for insurance?
80% duty cycle was a oldschool standard someone said was safe. With new injector design, and new models out, putting them into the 90's is ok. There is alot more involved than simply 'duty cylce' when determing safe from not safe (lag time, latency whatever, all that smart guy stuff)....redtop91 wrote:As far as I know the idea is that 80% duty cycle is the max, I don't think it's possible to have a problem because your duty cycle is too low.
Good info.codyace wrote:If I knew I was going for 500 whp, and that was all the more it would ever be, I'd be happy with 72lbers.
With that said, boost is like crack, and we always want more....
I'm a response guy, I love the no bull**** small turbo get up and go, but I know if I was building a highway runner....you bet I'd be going at a 850ish CC to 1000 cc injector....

FWIW: I would not run an MSD/Rochester (50lb/72lb/96lb) anywhere above 90 percent duty cycle.... they are known to stick under high load working conditions...
Ohhhh ok gotcha.srdub-t wrote:its not that 80% is max its that 80% is most efficeint
It helps regulate the oil temperature which takes a load off the cooling system, it also prevents oil breakdown do to overheated oil, though this is not as big of a problem with todays synthetic oils. I would consider an oil cooler cheap insurance, especially if you plan on running an oil cooled turbo. One thing to remember when installing an oil cooler, always use an oil thermostat to avoid overcooling the oil. My 2 cents.redtop91 wrote:what other purpose does an oil cooler serve besides bearing longevity?

That's great and all but he's not going to run a T25 or 8. Is whatever turbo hes going to get water cooled? Ohhh snaps more peices to the puzzle.srdub-t wrote:our turbos are oil and water cooled

Apparently after the teardown, he found that the OEM bearings in his Z weren't Tri Metal, but rather some weird alloy that changed state when high temp oil hit it and really weakened the bearings permanently. I've never heard of this problem before. Don't older Nissans use the lead based F770? If so is an aftermarket bearing really necessary?
I actually have never really dablled with Z cars, namely because there aren't many in the area, nor people that I know that own them...I wish thoughm, as a Z32 is one of my favorite cars of all timeredtop91 wrote:Question: A friend of mine boosted his Z and he had a really huge problem with the OEM bearings.

For those not doing track duty, a better alternative may be a greddy oil pan instead. The extra capacity and cooling fins should do a good job of keeping a street car happy...SideWays=smiles wrote:It helps regulate the oil temperature which takes a load off the cooling system, it also prevents oil breakdown do to overheated oil, though this is not as big of a problem with todays synthetic oils.
