Re: Re: Re: Supercharger's
Two enginetuners have told me this, the first told me that also on 6psi boost the engine wil not last long. The second tuner told me that the engine in daily use could run on 8psi but the safe side would be 6 psi.
But they say, spend a little more money and balance the engine, use better pistons (JE pistons) and run safe on 8 till 10psi.
But, there is more,
It is difficult to adjust the motormanagment, when you use a blower, the engine will heat up. Also the most US engines are set to use less fuel. Dangerous!
Even when I installed my headers, the engine was running on a low gas/air mixture. This was between 500 till 2000 rpm.
So what I did (and this is extreem, I know), I installed a DTA race computer, which I can adjust at any modified engine. Cost a lot of bucks, but I have a lot. Now I have a multi point injectionsystem, everything electronic. It works almost the same as the system of a Maserati GT3200 (V8 twin turbo) but better (faster) and adjustible.
If you do not want to spend such alot of money, or you want to keep the original parts (like a MAF sensor etc.) you can use the newest system of Acell. I have heard that is easy to install and easy to operate.
So, when you have your engine done, and electronic adjustible, you can boost around 650 hp out of your L98 engine! And relayeble (sorry)
I look for the webpage.
