how many pounds of boost does a stock ralliart come with

 

I think peak is around 18. With a pill and tune its 22-24.

 

over 9000

get a boost gauge and find out.

Better yet, instead of making 13 threads a day, use the search button please.. all these questions can be answer via it. you will be alot better received in the community for doing so.

 

+1 for the search bar

 

I just love how new members are treated here.

 

That's pretty much how everyone is treated by him.

 

Personnaly I think the question was good. I don't remember reading any thread discussing this explicitely. But is it possible to change to topic so it's obvious what this thread is about?

not even close to true, there are many people on here who dont start 6 threads a day who have valuable questions.

Its the internet and i guess my storng personality comes off different then in person. I've been a member of a mitsu car club for 6 years, and have never had an issue with anyone in the club, which has had over 50 members. I dont speak any different in person, so it mosy be how its taken without expression over the net that causes the issue.

At any rate, their are plenty of people i respect, even more i value as members on here, so please dont peigon hole this into a stereotyped situation.

 

awesome link, thanks.

 

+1 for the link! Very good idea! Now, OP can you put a more significant subject?

 

how many pounds of boost is safe to run on a stock ralliart turbo

 

Safe? As much as the little turbo can make. Which is about 25-26psi

 

if we're going to turn this into a safety issue, i'd like to pose a question. just to get different opinions, though I'm not trying to start a fight, just see what everyone thinks.

i've heard some people say that you can blow a turbo by running too much boost, but what exactly does that mean(hypothetical)? here's what i'm thinking, heat is pretty much the only way you can cause a turbo to fail. whether it be lack of proper cooling or high levels of friction resultant from said lack of cooling, or simple wear over time with constant vibration, engagement, disengagement, etc.

so, is there really such a thing as running too much boost? as long as you properly support the application with oil/water cooling and general upkeep along with maintaining any moving parts (bearings, etc) you should technically never be able to blow a turbo right?

 

I'm afraid that the pressure by itself can be a problem. The hoses, can start leaking, the gasket can too. Also, the internal of the engine might not be strong enough. With extra boost come extra power and your piston rod might not like it, you might bend them.

Also, the extra heat you mention can lead to detonation, heat also increase you oil and coolant pressure...

I'm no mechanical engineer but that's the few issues I can see right now. I'm sure there's a lot more to deal with.
