Big Ed · Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 3:34 pm Post subject: Hey Snoopstang (Chris M.)

What kind of PSI will a stock 2.3L turbo 4 from an 88 tbird take?
And how do I go about getting it to take more?
I know rods are a HUGE part, but what about the crank?

Ed

crank will take more power than you can throw at it.... We run 20 psi on the ranger with completely stock 100k mile short block....

Pour the intake runners full of potassium nitrate, add a little diesel fuel and set a cap off in it.
...should be good for several thousand PSI for a couple of milli-seconds.....

Roundman would it be possible for ed to get brain damage from this ?

Only if he was within a couple hundred feet.

Would the brain damage be severe ?

Only if the schrapnel made a precision strike.

I really would go with mopar rods, in order to rein that power in some, that , that 4 banger will be putting out, but i don;t think that it is going to beat that 460 tubo with all the goodie that u just built.. Rolling Eyes

yeah, you are right about one thing, adding a mopar product to ANYTHING will do nothing but slow it down and cost horsepower....

Razz
