I think we worked on it abotu 6-7 hours Friday night??? Till like 1:15 in the morning? Still havn't recovered.
Dude, you better call me when before you crank it!!!! I've gotta at least hear it the first time it's fired up w/boost!

Boost Compression Ratio Calculator
Remember to take a look at that. You don't want to blow it up on the first crank. (Or shortly after you crank it, because you couldn't help but rev it before tuning it.)

Max altitude in Tally is 200 feet above sea level...Compression ratio would be like 17.6:1
Whoa.
And Andrew, I freaking forgot the oil thing in the Xb. Sketch out the lil flange you need and I'll get some spacers made for ya that won't be ugly and non-flat. I'm also gonna get you a couple of pieces of Aluminum, 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 so you can have it if you need it.

Effective Compression ratio is always going to be higher than Static. A 9:1 comp engine pushing 10 psi is at 15:1 effective.
It doesnt mean you can't run boost just because it's high, you just need to have a rock solid tune.
Lotus is coming out with a turbo engine for one of their new cars w/ 11.5:1 compression boosting 5-6 psi. imagine what the Effective compression ratio is for that! not to mention it's going to be in europe, with mucho hills and higher altitude in general.
What kind of power are you making?
If your talking about my charge piping? idk.

love the thread bro. im actually running the same set up on my z6 so i cant wait to see that thing run!

You mean does it leak? If I had to guess, it's going to leak like a sieve at the mating point where it meets my exhaust.wikedeye said:

The altitude wasn't what I was talking about. I was pointing out that you're going to be running pretty high effective compression, so your tune needs to be really good.
I'm in the same boat, just my static compression ratio is 9.8:1.

We have a good tuner, so I don't think that will be a problem. max will double check to make sure Andrew has everything set up right so when he goes out there, Andrew will be ready to rock.

That crossmember does blow, especially now that it's all hacked up and whatnot.

Dude, I made (3) 3/16 spacers for you today. They match nearly perfect to the oil return. MUCH better than what you have now, plus they are flat I'll give em to Meglet so you can have em tomorrow

Try searching the FS forum first on the wideband. There's a few people selling widebands there. That'll save a few bucks.

What are the 3/16 spacers on the oil return do?

His oil return was a lil short and it kinked the line if he mated the flange to the turbo, she he needed a couple of spacers to get rid of the kink.
ANd did you talk to Max about the AEM? Is that what he suggested?

^ hahahaha! "FIFTH!"
I'll look around for a used one.
Dustin (Busted Ej1) recommended it to me. I'll try and remember to to call Max but I can never seem to be able to. I always get distracted by the time he's done with work at 7! =/
I found a good deal on Craigslist for a 'new' D16Z6 head for $200. Should I jump on it? Does anyone on here want the link?

Negative. If you're jumpin on anything, jump on that B16 for $500.00. Offer him $400.00 for it and sell the tranny for $300.00. Then turbo THAT instead of the D16 <laughs>
Max said AEM was good.. but was gonna get back with me. Just call em and leave a message!

Working on it. He didn't have any contact info so I can't get in contact with him. I sent a "note" to Craigslist about it. We'll see. I'd LOVE to do a stock B16 turbo. Maybe it will work out.
I've got some stuff to trade him, so I'll see what he says when he gets back to me.
Edit: Great. Now I'm looking at this:
