[Build Thread] -- Journey to 700+ WHP [Supercharger]

I would respectfully disagree. His car is barely making 6-7 PSI by redline, and more like 2-3 psi mid range. It's going to be very very hard to blow it up especially considering it has a built motor.

True, but with all of the ecu problems and constant misfiring he's not starting with a healthy setup. God knows how it was treated by the other shop he had work on it.

The misfiring was because of a faulty ECU due to whatever the hell the shop did to it.

THat problem is fixed with a cloned ECU Eugene gave to test the misfiring coming from the ECU and the ECU only. He did not drive it hard with the misfiring of course, he knows better than to do that, thankfully!

And they swapped in and out the faulty ECU twice to make sure it was that ECU causing the misfires in cylinders 4 and 6 and not something else -- which it was the culprit haha.

We found out it's actually making like an average of 9 PSI now, well depending on whose formula you use for calculating boost.

Eugene's formula I think is:
{Current Atmospheric Pressure -- which depends on the conditions of the day at that moment in time} - {Manifold Absolute Pressure}

Sebs formula as well as Husam's formula is:
M.A.P. (-) Fixed 14.7 = X bar

I might be wrong here but I'm pretty sure this is what my friend and I discussed the other day -- in regards to the difference between my current tune and other's tunes


Hence, why I'd like a boost gauge. To see what the gauge says I'm making and not based off of a formula in a tune.
