Guys,

I went out lastnight at around 8pm, seemed fairly coolish so I set the EBC to 0.8bar andway was giving it a bit of stick and the car started to detonate. So as soon as it did I took my foot off the accelerator and dropped the boost to 0.6bar. A few guys run bleed valves and stock I/C's do you guys detonate as well?

It will depend on the car, I ran 1bar on my stocker with no troubles, but in general unless you have tuned the fuleing to suit that boost then I would steer clear. On a stock turbo running 1 bar means that the pressure at the turbo is far higher, and it just ends up producing heat, which is what causes the detonation. Get a FMIC and 1bar is no probs.

See'ya:burnout:

Too much timing?

wot r u refering to?

Too much timing u say? u say he runs standard?

Skys ecu is tuned for 100ron and u think that RON98 is really 98 points?

Not as far as people tell me its not!

So hes pinging either like he said, cooler not being efficient, a little bit too much timing in the higher revs, plugs not gapped properly causing combustion chamber to preignite because of the large gap that the coil has to generate a spark.....and more..

I know the consequences of running too much boost and high intake temps... what I dont understand is why so many people persist with bleed valves and stock coolers. With bleed valves it will spike to probably more than 1 bar and is hardly as controllable as a EBC. Just wandered how many people did it and why?

core, thats why the airs so hot.

What are we actually talking about?

Everyone knows tht the stock IC on an R33 gives about 6psi drop over 15psi equalling about 21psi of course the IC is saturated and causing a huge pressure drop and heat increase but we are talking about other variables here.......none of this is extra ordinary :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

girl! :lol:

No...but I'm thinking I should now.

Yes, there must be something to enjoy about pointing out the fact that you 'only run 10psi'.

Perhaps its the way you point it out?

You can say it:

..with contempory dance.

..with an artistic arrangement of pocket lint.

..in music,that when played backwards says ' I only run 10psi'

..by cross promoting with Mac Donalds, the '10psi burger' - guarenteed to produce flatulence at or below 10psi.
