Rajicase's First Turbo Build, Ballin' On A (Nonexistent) Budget

[NOTORIOUS VR]

Are you guys running into any issues with the tire contacting the fender lip right where the fender meets the rear bumper? I had to grind the lip there and trim some of the bumper inside.

Nope, no issues here with that...

Hmm..I feel like I had to do a lot more work than is usual for fitting my 255/40-17 on mine with Kosei k1 wheels. Going to a wider tire is appealing, but concerns me for the above reason.

My guess would be that since I pulled my rear fenders so much, it moved the bumper point out a little as well and that avoids the rubbing some might experience.

I am making a goal not to touch my boost controller for a month. This is getting ridiculous.

Lol I need to chill out I'm gonna be wanting a bigger turbo come winter if I don't cool it a bit.

How high were you running it?

[rajicase]

I'm at 21psi from the 366sxe right now which is the highest I've run it so far.

[Thompson501]

Any thoughts on what whp I could be making? M50 stock, e85, 6266 pt, rapid spool tubular, 60#, nick g tune

At what boost?...

350-500whp with current information. 60# e85 odd.

17 psi

what is odd?

[rajicase]

Youre probably around 450 whp right now if I had to guess. You are currently running e85? 60# injectors are pretty small for e85.

[Thompson501]

Gotcha

Thats what i was saying. 60s are on the small end. You will be limited by those fairly soon. Usually 80s are e85.

That makes sense

[Butters Stoch]

I think maybe a little less hp. Unless tuning is aggressive. I remember a local with a m50 and a 35r done up nicely, making 400 at around 18psi.

Fair enough I'm more familiar with the s52.

Oh I picked up on the backstory.

[rajicase]

Pretty sure I ruined a salesman's day today.
I was getting on the interstate alongside a new c7 pulling out of a dealership and the salesman looked over at me at the stop light and told me he was gonna let his customer see what this thing is all about (I'm paraphrasing but he was basically saying he was gonna let the customer walk all over me and show me what's up )

He was being light hearted and playful about it , cool guy, but he totally didn't know what he was getting him and his customer into. We rolled onto the interstate so I just stayed with them and waited for him to gun it and when he did , I showed him what boost is all about XD.

The look on the guys face as I blew by him was priceless! Pretty sure my wastegate ruptured his ear drums too >.<

Did you ask him what the retail was on one of those before you smoked him?
