i'll take their knowledge over any other

you can listen to whoever you want.. Im not trying to convince you, but when you are posting that breaking point of a k20 is 250wtq, then thats going to discourage some people. What you should put is that experts suggest that 250wtq is the breaking point, but many have suceeded to do way more than that, and have done so without any problems...

Im sorry but I'll take actual data and experiences over what any "expert" says.. People dont become pioneers by following behind other peoples foot steps..

Excellent work, just wonder now how much power to expect with 5 psi?

***Highrev1*** · 06-08-2007, 04:55 PM

To quote king BOB, only cause I am feeling too hot and lazy :)

That all depends on the cfm. THats what it comes down to basically.

"It’s not about psi it’s about cfm (cubic feet per min.) I was to blow 100,000 cubic feet of air through a drinking straw in 1 min. The air would have to compress creating high psi. But if I were to blow 100,000 cubic feet of air in 1 min. through a length of air conditioning duct that air would not compress nearly as much as it did through the straw but the same amount of air was delivered in the same amount of time. That’s why psi of boost doesn’t matter and why car "A" running 10psi might be slower than car "B" running 5psi."

K20Z3 Turbocharger Analysis

Current estimates are ~280 hp at 5 psi. (This applies for both turbochargers and superchargers.)

Also I prefer to work in units of mass per unit time instead of volume per unit time (lb/min or kg/s vs cfm or m^3/s) as it accounts for variations in density due to temperature and pressure.

Usually when going from NA to FI you want to go with one heat range colder, same applies for N20.

06civSi · 07-30-2007, 02:14 PM

I understand that, I meant what actual plugs should be used ( make and type) and what the gap they should be set at.
