Anyone running 12psi on stock bottom end? Rods looking kinda thin but wondering if anyone is
10 PSI is really the max safest boost to run...and that is with full supporting mods and a great tune. With that said I know of a member running 14 on a stock block. He has every supporting mod needed and a fantastic tune!! just turning up the boost on a stock car with for sure cause failure.
What are your mods?
If all your running is a SMIC then your already to high at 10PSI!!! TURN IT DOWN!!!
you need to open your exhaust, and get a split second or some sort of EMS ASAP.
Your going to need to upgrade your plugs...one step colder as well. There are a ton of little things that MUST be done to up the boost to even 10 let alone 12 PSI. I would also recommend upgrading your WGA. They are failure prone and at 10 PSI without a tune you have zero room for error. Your one boost spike away from BOOM!!! You may also want to think about a vac block instead of the way Mazda "T"d all the hoses into one line. That way all your hoses are off a good solid source and that source should be the brake booster line.
Please tell me you have a Boost gauge?? and are not just assuming the profec is correct. Also consider a Wide Band A/F gauge and oil pressure gauge...
You must have a WB A/F if you know that your running rich right??? or are you just going off the exhaust smell?
+1 im planning on running stock bottom end so ive done a ton of reading on the subject.
cautious people dont even run 10 with a perrin FMIC if they dont have a full exhaust. do that first. you might be able to squeak by without a tune on 10 but definitely, definitely not 12psi.
and if you were planning to run 12psi, why would you get the upgraded SMIC instead of front mount in the first place?
I'm just going to say that I do not agree with what has been stated that you must have to do what you asked about. I figured if you had to ask then you should not.
I will say to you that if you are smart that you will use a 2 stage boost controller and primarily roll around at stock psi and hit the switch for those times that you want more, but do so based on your own risk tolerance.
upgraded smic, hardpipes, and profec set at 10. No splitsecond or anything and I'm def still rich. Actually kinda amazed how rich from stock these run.
Think people are getten this wrong. All i asked was if anyone has lol. Not a list of i need this and i need that for 10 psi.
ive been running 13 for a few months
Wow been a long time since ive seen that car. I meet you a while back and i bought jasons black msp
