Get the car tonight, counting down the time. lol

Anyway he has the car set on 0.9 boost how much should or can u run day to day? how much is to much? can it go any higher? or wot?

That will be .9 Bar which is about 12-13psi! and on a stock turbo you could prob run a little more but, would prob leave it at that!

a mate of mine told me 1.0 bar is about right should i change it or jus leave it? how do u work out how much psi it is? is there a formula or something?

bar x 14.503861 = psi

so 1 bar would be 14.503861 psi

if you're running a stock turbo, i'd be careful about running 14.5 psi.

i'd be leaning more towards 12psi as a max, or even 10psi as a safer level.

depends on your setup of course.

Its been tuned at that boost level so leave it. :(

It might be a good idea to throw it on the dyno for a quick power run 'just' to make sure everything is in good working order.

AFR's are nice and not pinging.

Blackwood auto & dyno used to do power runs for $30, cheapest around by far. Other than that take it back to shaun/Boostworx as he knows the car I would presume. :(

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
