Ok so here is my mods list, I'm hoping someone can shed light on how much ho I can expect and how much boost I should run (planning on bypassing the overboost switch).
- Car is 1987 740 Turbo wagon with almost exactly 300 000 km
- upgraded to 13mm rods
- new rod bearings
- new piston rings
- cylinder ridges reamed
- cylinders re-honed using ball hone
- new head gasket
- head resurfaced
- carbon deposits in head cleaned out
- valves re seated
- replaced valve stem seals
- replaced valve hushers
- reshimed head (T cam)
- new front cam seal
- new valve cover seal
- upgraded injectors (brand new browntops)
- new intake manifold gasket
- upgraded intercooler (31x12x3)
- cone filter intake with bottom of intake area cut out or bent down for more air flow
- ebay turbo exhaust header (flange flipped)
- Almost new Garrett T3/T4 60AR intake 63AR exhaust turbo (rebuilt)
- upgraded oil braided steel turbo oil feed line
- new exhaust manifold gasket
- replaced exhaust manifold studs
- t3 to t3 wastegate adapter plate
- Turbonetics external wastegate
- wastegate dump to atmosphere out hood
- 2.5 inch exhaust out hood off turbo
- Greddy E-01 electronic boost controller
- prosport evo wideband
- autometer C2 boost gauge (only goes to 20 psi but EBC screen also had boost gauge)
- over boost switch bypassed
- amm and idle set for new injectors
- new spark plugs (NGK 7es)
- throttle body cleaned with new gasket
- flame trap/ PCV box cleaned
- Greddy catch can
- new oil pan gasket
- synthetic oil (Mobil one)
- 94 octane (with ethanol...) or shell 91
- new coolant
- new power steering fluid
- new coolant temp sensor
- POSSIBLY (Greddy type RS BOV) (heard it creates issues due to blow off of air measured already by the AMM)
- possibly adjusted ignition timing (will have to look into this more)
I think that's it. So what do you guys think I can expect. Anything crucial I forgot to do? Also how will I know when to stop upping the boost? I know I have to stop before I get detonation but I have no clue what that sounds like/how you know you've hit it. Also I know not to run lean (wideband should help with that (is there a number I should be aiming for? Stoich?). I've heard of guys running from 15psi all the way up to like 30 so I just don't know. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
