Anyone Able To Help Me With Going Turb? Rb30

[Rolls]

Stock headgasket will take more than 6-7 psi. Mines holding up to 17, making over 300kw and never had the head lifted.

17psi is impressive, what turbo?

Did you have to be very conservative with timing and add lots of fuel? Or are you running E85 or water/meth or something?

GT35 with a .82, makes 200kw by roughly 3500.

Just plain old 98, fairly rich at 11 flat. Takes 12 degrees up top, 7 at peak torque to keep it safe.

yer the only time you have to limit it to 6-7psi is with the standard vlt ecu and high comp. once you get a tune you can throw just as much at it as a 25/26/30det

There was a thread recently or some posts in a thread about stock headgaskets (30 section I think), I remember it because I run OEM RB26 headgaskets on my 30s and someone mentioned having an OEM RB26 headgasket handle ~50psi! I think they were running aftermarket head bolts though.
