Rosie Member 361 Member For: 17y 10m 24d Posted 16/07/10 05:30 AM Share Posted 16/07/10 05:30 AM And I bent Con Rods on 270rwkw 7 Years ago with a lot less Boost!Pete, with STD 10S, has consistently run 10.7's at the Drags, and no one really knows why it hasn't self destructed!But it's a known fact they are not built to cop big boost!My option was the safe one!- I had the Motor built.

Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 9m 6d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/07/10 09:08 AM Share Posted 16/07/10 09:08 AM (edited) Telling someone to run that much boost on a stock bottom end is a bit rich. Yeah people are getting away with it but as someone said it's only a matter of time. 7 years ago they were new BA's blowing up, now there 7 years old. Think about it.And yeah there allot of cars running 400+ now days but if you look closely the majority are Typhoon engines.

I know the risks. my tuner has said 'I wouldnt but its up to you' ever since going over 14psi. my goal is 400rwkw with a new donk, so I'll have to get one sooner or later anyway. when its capable of low 11's, I'll stop planning more power...

jimmy1234 Donating Members 364 Member For: 17y 24d Gender: Male Posted 16/07/10 11:11 AM Share Posted 16/07/10 11:11 AM Haha when its capable of low 11's you will want high 10's, it never ends. Push you motor as much as you want just be prepared to pay up for a new one at any time...maybe a few years maybe a few hours...its a lottery.

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 1m 1d Posted 16/07/10 02:36 PM Share Posted 16/07/10 02:36 PM I thought 16psi was a tad high for a BA bottomend. Mine hits 16 and levels off at about 15. that's what I asked for and that's what I got. I guess they are capable of handling a bit more in the right hands. The blokes that are running 19psi,are you running standard plenum? I suppose it all comes down to the tuner and alot has probably changed in tuning tactics between then and now.
