No problem, let us know how that works out for ya
I've just plain disconnected the wastegate, backed the "torque screw"(if you have one, check and make sure it's backed way off) out and cranked the fuel to max.
On my '92 with Banks turbo, its doing 15-ish PSI of boost and feels awesome; smokes if you floor it too soon. Cleans up easily around 2200 now; making somewhere north of 200RWHP, probably 220.
On my '93 with factory turbo(and 88? N/A motor), I effectively have the same thing, except the pump is even larger than stock - RD2-110. Makes 250RWHP.
I'm still expecting the head gaskets to go sooner or later, mainly because I overheated the truck back in February(belt tensioner broke), but it hasn't yet...
And it's not like I don't pull heavy loads with it... I tend to haul *something* 5k+ every month or so.
Now, everyone gives me **** for this, but I time my trucks by ear these days. Just kind of judge how it runs and adjust from there. I look at how it feels(stronger = better), smoke(gray/blue is retarded). Never had a problem with it, and I've had pretty darn good luck on the dyno compared to others with IDIs(except for R&D's Justin... with a *lot* bigger turbos and pumps)
I know several people who have gotten 20-23 psi out of a banks sidewinder system. Superheated air, but still a lot of pressure.
for what its worth.
I ended up hitting at least 25, maby more with the s360... but that engine had issues.That's awesome, I've watched a few of your videos! Didn't you put a Borg Warner S300 or something on your IDI that had a Banks turbo? It hit something crazy, like 20psi!?
7-8 lbs maxWhat boost are you seeing now?
Smoke doesn’t equal power, that’s unburned fuel and lost efficiency. Do you have a the pump maxed as is? If so I would look for boost leaks, a maxed pump should make at least 10 psi before you even touch the wastegate
