106 degree day... full pull in 3rd to redline... 11psi on 91 pump gas... and to top it off she bounced on the rev limiter. Need i say more? Stage2 was designed for 9psi and i was pushing it past that... living on the edge was my thing and that day it caught up with me.

I will say bouncing on the rev limiter in any boosted/NA/nitrious car is bad for it. Though you may get away with it for a long time it is detromental in many ways. Especially if you car was never designed for boost... the ecu doesn't pull timing/cut spark instead it does nothing with timing and cuts fuel. That means there is still spark without enough fuel which leads to detonation. In the end she cried... i kicked her... she cried some more... i kicked her again... then she got knocked out so i had to appologise and move on. Wierd how it worked out that way.

 

well Boe if i ever get a turbo maybe you could help me out with it. my bro can put it in, but you know more than he does. about turbo anyway. i am only in the 951!

 

nah that ***** crazy!!!!!!!! hahahah j/k boe

I ran stage 2 on my lancer for awhile and beat the hell out of it.

Boe always monkeyed with stuff so i am sure he wasnt running just what rrm had hahah.

I know i ran just rrm and made great power and was super reliable.

 

phantom0 i'm 951 (hemet)

 

951......same as 909.

ROAD/RACE

 

Sorry, but what does 951.... 909 etc mean?

 

Area codes, I presume.

 

we live in the Inland Empire. some a-hole got a bright idea to seperate the center from the outside. so Riverside Metro is now 951. and outlaying Ontario metro is 909. we all used to be 909. boe you gonna attend this meet sclc is havin?

 

not for a bit... have some things to get on the car first so i can pimp.

 

boe how long did you run daily at 11 psi on 91 before the redline incident?

 

4-5 months at that pressure... before that i was running 9/10 for about 8 months on stage 2 tune that RRM sells.

 

i plan on running rrm stage 2, 9-11 psi, ohio summers (70-100 degreees), 94 octane, does that sound ok?

 

Stick at 9psi and you'll be fine... after that you are riding the edge and i don't recommend it. I didn't mind blowing the motor to much as i've done it so much before i can change pistons in my sleep.

Trust me though... stick with the boost the kit offers and be happy as beyond that you are messing with dangerious territories.

On race gas i'd say you could do 11 no problem. After that you'd be pushing it. Good luck.

 

Considering you are the voice of reason, I will listen to you. Thanks for the information Boe.

 

Voice of reason... more like voice of experience from alot of mistakes
