I am wondering how much boost the stock gaskets and bolts will hold?

: Boost with stock head gaskets and stock head bolts. MaddDogg49 06-29-2005, 07:30 PM around 40 for studs. the gaskets are pretty strong so i dunno smokin4u 06-29-2005, 07:34 PM I can peg my 35 pound boost gauge I was wondering if the stock bolts will last. Dmax Tim 06-29-2005, 08:55 PM IIRC ATS says <45 w/o studs and close to 60 w/ studs. Their big blower puts out some PSI. C.A.P 06-29-2005, 09:04 PM if the heads hold 45psi., thats great, but any thing over 32 on stock turbo Iv heard is flirting with disaster, thats 32psi actual psi. not in the wast gate line with a tee Got Juice? 06-29-2005, 09:05 PM My LB7 is holding fine at 50-53 PSIG (measured at the manifold) with stock head bolts. Edit: o ya... with The TWINS! C.A.P 06-29-2005, 09:10 PM isnt about 32psi. about the safest to run on stock lb7 turbo? Got Juice? 06-29-2005, 09:25 PM isnt about 32psi. about the safest to run on stock lb7 turbo? Measured at the manifold 33-35 is safe if you are sane with your driving habits. Any higher is not smart..... on an LB7 Turbo. Heck, My little IHI is running 10 PSI... should last a lifetime at that level. C.A.P 06-29-2005, 09:29 PM I drive like a profesional IDIOT , and am at about 32psi, think I cuold squeak another turn in the wastgate to say 35 and still be safe smokin4u 06-29-2005, 11:08 PM what happens to the stock turbo above 32 psi? Seals, shaft, compressor wheel, bearings, what? RyanU 06-30-2005, 02:38 AM im hittin 56 psi stock studs and truck pulling too fredw 06-30-2005, 05:32 AM i have ben hitting highs in the winter time of 37.5 and in the summer of 35.5, for over a year with no problems to date with the turbo, that is measured just after the super diesel manifold C.A.P 06-30-2005, 08:56 AM RyanU you must be running the ats turbo! no way a stock turbo would stay together!!! FredW what turbo are you runnin?, and is it a lb7 RyanU I read your sig. Probobly should have first, thats got to feel awsome to have that much boost, realy cleans up the black smoke I bet fredw 06-30-2005, 10:20 AM stock lb7 C.A.P 06-30-2005, 10:31 AM that is at the manifold, right ? Or are you getting a reading after the intercooler, are you running a bighead? if so how many turns did you go? What type of power mods. do you run? RyanU 06-30-2005, 02:10 PM RyanU I read your sig. Probobly should have first, thats got to feel awsome to have that much boost, realy cleans up the black smoke I bet I miss my smoke! Hopefully injects will bring it back...some | ||
