How much boost pressure can a built VQ37VHR withstand?

FPenvy · 11-06-2014, 09:22 AM

i love this thread. so full of cock fighting and dick measuring over turbo size, spool speed, where the tq comes in.

next thing i'm waiting for is people comparing who's VTEC kicks in sooner.......

Actually, I am just making sure the community if well informed of the capabilities of certain kits. I would hate to see some guy buy a GTM kit in fear that a single will be laggy and underperform. Forums are meant to be educational and not give people false information.

Jwick. That is my dyno. Actually one where I was running off spring pressure only. You can see this by the way my boost drops off really bad up top. The WG springs get hot and loosen up. This is why nobody should ever run off springs alone. After I figured out my MBC it held boost evenly across the range.

I got the ball bearing upgrade. I also have that 16* timing to help spool thanks to the E.

oh i got you i just felt like throing a honda joke in there. if you cant tell my job is quite boring some days and this forum provides entertainment along with the educational notes on turbo kits

personally i would never touch a GTM kit nor go with a single turbo.

i would either go with a TT kit from FI or AAM. shoot for about 500-550whp since i DD it in the warm months. also add a level10 upgraded 7AT thats capable of about 1000hp so i dont blow it up.

Ummm...And why is that? Did you look at the curve of that chart I posted with only 9lbs?

i like both of the aforementioned companies and their products/services first off.

secondly theres only 1 company that does a signle kit that i know of and a. they dont do autos, b. owner is a bit douchey, and c. i'm not a fan of the mounting location for as i DD it and the location in a rain situation worries me slightly. prbably not a big issue but it's a thought for concern.

now a cutsom top mount single like another PA guy mykindaguise on here did would be a route to look into but thats a lot of time and money to custom fab another kit from scratch like he did.

So your statement that you would never run a single is completely irrelevant. You just didn't a) buy a "Man"ual b) must have said something really dumb to the owner to think he is not a stand up guy c) have you ever once heard of anyone having problems in the rain?

No he's still butthurt because Sasha told him no one should buy an AT sports car

which leads back to your point number 1

whats wrong with the 7AT? got beef?

i asked owner if he had a auto verison of the kit when it was just released and he responded in a dumb way for a business owner. old news and a dead issue anyways.

and no i havent but i also never really asked since i've always planned on twins if/when i went with boost.

you really are a tocuhy fucker arent you lol

You have your reasons. I'm sure to do with Sam's way of business. GTM kit was on the car before I purchased it, but this isn't my 1st FI VQ.

Single turbo is like NOS. When it comes on it comes the **** on.

but

Depending on size of turbo and tune makes a different comparing powerbands on dyno charts.

Actually that's a amazing dyno for single.

Lets all get this thread back on track.

Just wait till I post up my built motor numbers. Im "supposed" to get my motor back together Friday. Then it needs to be installed. Then break in of 500+ miles. Then ill be setting it around 14lbs. That should be an insane curve!!

Single turbo TQ is awsome. Almost pulled the trigger on a powerlab 8 years ago on my VQ35DE build.

Thanks for the info mothergoose. Being well informed is the way to be, like i've said i'm the last to give adivce, but I wasn't wrong about powerband (just RMP).

In less you're running some cvic sized single turbo twins will always boost faster.

What size and turbo style you have?
