Why on earth turn the boost down with big heads? Crank it up even higher now that the thing can breathe!

Turn the boost down?
That's crazy talk.
That's crazy talk.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Re: Safari Turbo/Megasquirt Fuel Injection Project
The point I was tryin to make is You don't need to crank up the boost with these big stroker motor's to make the same if not more Power/torque
15 lbs of boost ain't the same with a 1585-1676cc compared to a 1915 or 2276cc wish I lived closer to u guys I'd let u drive my Bug It will make u swallow your gum

Its very true, mine made 201hp at 7psi, and 236hp at 9. Both on a very conservative pump gas tune. It wasn't happening at 3000 rpm though, more like 5000-6000. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy 20+, and I'm still gonna push this thing to 30 or so.

Re: Safari Turbo/Megasquirt Fuel Injection Project
A longer stroke (AKA "a long throw" [an old hot rodder term]) with a properly ground high lift, short(er) duration cam (a bigger bore also helps) is going to give you a lot of low RPM grunt but the high end RPMs aren't going to be there because of the cam grind. A big stroke is also going to require some case mods too.

Re: Safari Turbo/Megasquirt Fuel Injection Project
Got a little bored the other day so I whipped up a cover for the back of the intercooler to pretty it up a bit.
I also redid the sticker since I blocked the old one....don't want to be accused of not warning the challengers.......
Might be heading to Mario for a ECU upgrade next week. I'll get my fan to operate off the ECU instead of the Hobbs. That way I can program when and how long I want the fan to stay on instead of it only being on when over 4 lbs boost.
I'll also be making an order for the clutch and pressure plate by the first of the year and possibly a new WI pump too.

I love it! My boss bought his son a huge vinyl printer a year ago. I don't think he has it quite figured out but he's been making some stickers. I need to have him start making us some!
