compression ratio vs boost psi

It sounds like your motor failed from either 2 situations either..

A - bad tuning.. premature ignition

B - your tuning was fine but simply the internals could not handel the power you were producing (due to running a large turbo even at low boost)

7psi of boost is 7psi of boost.. but weather you are makeing 150whp or 300whp.. thats what can break your motor.


Just off topic.. i know D16s standard rods are only good for 200whp. Eg car a could run a T25 on 7psi and make 150whp tuned mildly... and another identical car could run a
Gt35R on 7psi and make 250whp tuned mildly.. and Boom! throw a rod out the block (similar to lukezen)

Yeah the tune was fine and the engine only had like 40-50 thou on it...twas fairly virgin. Could be a range of things that could of caused the issue. I just think it was a combination of a t04e with solid boost and high rpm and possibly slight premature ignition and thats all it needs really and things can all go south very fast.

But i dont regret doing 9:1 compression now at all. Once i have it fully boosted to 20psi and i hear it wind up im seriously going to jizz in my pants "like at the end of sixth sence was bruice willis was dead, i Jizzed in my pants"
