How much boost?

I am so not a fan of block filling. Creates poor cooling conditions, which can cause your internals to melt. Poor mans solution to resleeving, however...can cause one to need a new F22.

thats why u drill holes after the filling has dried. and you dont fill all the way to the top, about 3/4 only, then drill as deep as u can, in even interval spacing.

works, up to a certain point, thats why its a poor mans way of resleeving.

So then you know where I am coming from with my logic. Resleeving = peace of mind.

From the massive amounts of reading I've been doing, I've learned some things...

-AFCs= teh lose...you're probably just as well off not tuning at all...it's using your stockish maps anyway...you have no excuse for paying to run an AFC, when with a laptop you can Uberdata or Crome it up damn near for free...if you buy and AFC and skip buying a wideband O2 sensor, "I feew sowwy fuuh yuuuh mudda"[/store owner from Menace]

-Tuning= insurance for your motor, not a means of making power. The easiest way to make power would be to just run the straight 14.7:1 AF ratio...but detonation is a mofo. I think a flat AF curve and proper ignition timing= teh win for smooth power delivery, maximum SAFE power and insurance against blowing stuff up...

-14bs and T25s= just not meant for our motors...the 4G63 blocks are built to run higher temperatures and pressures made by the somewhat inferior turbos. When it comes to boosting, it's really best to do it right the first time....T3/T4s aren't THAT expensive, and they make DSM manifolds for them for not too much bread...again, when it comes to going turbo, cheaping out could really cost you, like, big time.

- Your engine's only as strong as its weakest link...I've never heard of anyone blocking a rod through an F block or anything ludicrous like that...but those damn ringlands. I imagine them being like ashes. Imagine pressed up coal being the only thing holding your compression in, and you can see how a cool, smooth (not in the Joe Cool sense, I'm talking delivery/temperature) tune is so vital to engine life...

- Again, a turbo will make significant power over stock. Tuning is done to ensure that that additional power will not blow your engine up. Read up, save up, and do it right the first time. I am. Happy boosting!

you've come along way from a few weeks ago man!! *tear* lol. but umm, imo 14.7 a/f r's are a little too lean, try adding a little more fuel.

yea....I think you can do high 13's if you like taking risk. Most find 12.1-12.3 a safe zone to dial into...

I meant in an ideal world...in vacuum (i.e. off boost, cruusin baybaaay) people actually run a little lean...remeber, off boost your engine is N/A with a shitty intake and exhaust...but as you lean harder into the throttle and the turbo begins to boost, you want to get a little rich with the fuel. If not for detonation though you'd definitely run a clear 14.7 across the board though...but in real life I've seen maps go as far low as 10-11:1 with the fuel, which is necessary I'm guessing the extra atomized fuel cools and quells any potential detonation...

And yeah, I'm a fast reader/learner, especially when I actually care about something...

I run 14-15 a/fs in vac, 12.5 a/fs all through boost. Even NA cars run rich when flooring it, around 12-13 a/fs

u understand the difference...:tear:
