Why Is My Boost Stupid


Recommended Posts

Posted

.023 should work fine.

that's what I'm at on Champion RC7YC

kev- it was at night...almost cold and everything that makes the sparky go spark has less than 10,000 miles on it

10k miles is ALOT on copper plugs gapped down and at high boost.

I have to replace mine every 6 months or so....every 2-3 oil changes is what I do, depending on how it's running.

altitude + ambient temps ?

I doubt it's altitude. You're not running around at 8,000 ft or anything are you? I agree w/the thoughts that it's plugs.

random question... you are running the 19t at 18psi with stock internals right? My goal is to have low 300whp and am thinking about getting 19t, 3" turbo back, fmic, and rica chip... I do not want to have to mess with internals lol

cool, thats my plan then :) I am thinking about starting out with 3" down pipe and rica chip, then i will finish the exhaust later when i get the money... After that i probably will do turbo and remap, then fmic and bov... that is the order i thought up in my head lol. I wanted chip first but i dont want to kill my turbo now (heard it is bad with stock down pipe), that is why i will get down pipe at the same time. Seem ok? sorry, im not stealing thread, im borowing a chunk of it ;)
