It should handle 9 safely, and even up to 12, but I had some other issue that caused that.
Too much. Lol. I just dropped at least another 4K in engine work.
It worked better than my old setups. I think it worked better than my ELP setup since it was a straight run to the throttlebody instead of...
Wow, that completely sucks. I hate health insurance crap. I've had my turn of BS to deal with as well.
Yeah, about 3K. It cost me a little more because the crankshaft from the doner engine had a spun bearing, so I had to buy a new one.

My turbo is completely custom. I'll take some pics of my engine once the shop's done with it. It'll have new sleeves, rods, bearings, oil pump, low...
Wow, I can't believe how much oil I just poured out from the intake manifold. Anyway, seems like the backfire optimized the intake manifold by...
I've got a whole new block being built right now. The only part stock on it will be the block itself. Should be ready within 2 weeks.
I warm mine up for 5 mins before driving. If I'm in a hurry, I wait until the car goes into closed loop mode (RPMs drop to normal) before going.
That's kinda what I had setup on my car before I put the turbo in. I used a BOMZ racing eBay intake and added some more piping to it.
I'll just keep my current routing setup, but I think I need a catch can on the crank case vent as well. It looks like oil was coming out that way,...
I think I'm going to vent to atmosphere, although the idea of running it back into the exhaust to retain a vacuum on the system sounds interesting....
I was running 12 with 11.0:1-11.5:1 AFRs and no knocking. It was definitely blowby in the engine. I could trace it back to the PCV and in the...
Not sure. Haven't hooked up the battery to pull the last stats from my ECU and boost controller. RPMs where around 3500 - 4000 though. I was...
New theory formulated after doing some research. My oil catch can wasn't working efficiently enough, and I found heavy traces of blowby oil in the...
Well, I pulled the turbo and intake manifold off this weekend. Fortunately, the turbo looks fine. The block on the other hand has two holes on the...
I wanted to fix the transmission leak before hitting the track, but now I have an oil leak where the two holes in the block are from the rod being...
Speculation until I have time to pull the head off and crawl under the under the car. No oil leaked out on the road where it broke. There was a...
Yes, it's blown, but I have a nice 1.94L block with 8.8:1 pistons and rods that should be ready in 2-3 weeks.
