Yes on a 16g. Mine will hold 30psi on the stock wastegate just on the spring pressuare,but that is a modded ralliart gate

4g63tcrazy · 10-10-2009

I run 32-31psi and drop to 24psi by 7k on my small 16g. Stock internal wastegate.

Looks like a few mitsustyle guys need to read up on the 16g's! Haha. Lately since E85 has become big alot of people have been pushing 16's waay past what would seem to be their limit and put down some good numbers with it.

40psi is just waaaay past the efficiency range of a turbo that small, you would just be blowing hot air at that boost level even with E85. A fellow style member's car was up to 31 or so on the dyno and the higher we went the less power we made so we ended up going back down to 29psi because the turbo was simply out of breath.

Also according to this website, the highest boost any of these guys were running on a 16g was 31.5 psi

If someone here is running 40psi on a 16g, I want to see the setup because that would be a hell of a feat!

^^ Exactly why I switched to it. I figured with my cams, intake manifold and external wastegate, I should be able to hold boost better in the upper RPM ranges. So far it's rock solid at 20 psi to redline. I don't really wanna go much higher than that til I get tuned on e-85 though, since every now and then I'll get a little knock in 3rd gear. I really need to get a damn laptop... haha

That, and it's much easier to drive around town now. If I wanna go around someone quickly, I don't need to downshift since I can hit 20 psi in 5th gear at about 3300 rpm, which puts me at about 70 mph and pulling hard. Judging by the butt dyno, it feels like it's pulling about 90% as hard as the 3076 was, but now it just starts at a lower rpm. The only thing I miss about that turbo is the way it sounded when it spooled up. haha

anti-surge covers do indeed make lovely sounds

On dsmtalk there was these guys running 40psi on their 16g with E85 and put down 499whp. That's the most power to date with the 16g. You can do some research yourself to get more creditable facts instead of me just telling you if you'd like. There is also english racing who ran meth/E85 with NO intercooler running 30psi to redline with no issues.

**goodhart** · 10-11-2009

You got any links to these people's setups? I'd like to see them.

4g63tcrazy · 10-11-2009

I don't have them saved no. But there are alot of threads on Talk about high boost with 16g's. They get very in depth also I believe. Been a little while since I've read any of them.

turbotalon1g · 10-12-2009

Kevin I have an old laptop that I am getting rid of if you need soemthing for tuning.

I only spiked 40psi and couple times usually in 4th.

Forced Fed · 10-12-2009

Not to be rude, but you guys should probably move your conversation / thread jack into private messages.

Hence this is a project thread in the project section, not a 16g thread in the forced induction section...

craig · 10-12-2009

you could come and load the program onto my computer and go make some runs if you would like.

**scheides** · 10-12-2009

Kevin, do you need the 4" - 2.5" (or whatever) coupler for the FP 4" intake? I have one if you want it. Buy me some beers on the cruise.

Oh sure, now you offer... I just ordered one from FP since I couldn't get ahold of Brownman's wife to get his. If i can cancel my order, I'll take you up on that.

**scheides** · 10-13-2009

Damn it now you're making me doubt that I still have it LOL! I'm 99.999% sure I did NOT sell it yet.
