will it survive 28 psi?

[project89]

im leaving to go pick up the car with my friend in 20 mins,

i have a few open option sat this time

60k mile 2.8 stock shortblock is on the engine stand ready to go, so if my block is broke i will do a cam swap into the 2.8 and bolt my topend etc onto it and will be going to dyno the car with that motor in the car

anyways i will post back up soon as i know what is going on

i don't know very much about turbos...how is there coolant flowing out of the turbo? is there coolant in the oil too? if that's the case, i would be running at all right now.

ok the verdict is cracked block
BUT its runnable

i blew the bottom freeze plug out of the rear of the block, and cracked the block inbetween cyls 4-6 and 3-5 right below the deck about 1/2 - 1 inch inch down from the block deck.

new freeze plug installed, tig welded the block up with nirod and put the trans back in. put a few leak stop tabs in the rad for good measure and i got 0 water leaks.

tyen i proceded to take the car out on the street and beat the piss out of it at 9 psi.

holy mother fucking shit the car is unreal

videos of carnage and street runs and a flyby to be posted soon

I WILL BE DYNOING THE CAR TOMMOROW MORNING WOOOOOT

it wasnt intentional i was having a hard time keeping the car straight i couldnt reach down fast enough to put it in second gear.that and i still havent lowered the rev limiter from 8k down to 7,400 rpms.

i may leave the limiter set to 8k for the dyno and then reset it depending on what the power curve look slike

You've run the car at 28psi but 9psi feels unreal?
Are you still going to dyno it at 28psi?

ive had the car up there on a much larger turbo, it was alot slower down low due to massive lag, but when it hit it hit hard, this 60-1 is sized just about perfect,maybe just a touch on the smallish side for what the car should do.

the reason that the car feels unreal now is cause it has so much more comming out of the hole

i am not gonan dyno at 28 max boost will prolly be 18 to 21 tops due to the fact the block was cracked and i had to weld it,and i dont know if theres any cracks internally.i need the rotating assembly out of this motor to put in my new block,so im trying not to hurt it
