Ahem ahem, Mike how many pounds of boost are you running to for 305hp? With a standard T3/TO4E setup? Do tell.

I thought I was limited on the street to 10lbs? I run 93 octane 100% of the time, stock 3 bar FP, ported and extrude honed .63 housing/ 46 trim compressor, S3's, timing at 15 degrees, stock ignition w/plugs gapped at .025".

I sure hope your not running some exotic turbo and are just running the .82 housing. It would be nice to crank it up higher than 10lbs occasionally.

Kojima's Sentra has a built motor, lower compression and the dyno was done at 17psi with larger trims and housings than yours. Nothing exotic at all.

Well Mike's statement was misleading then. (Which I have never seen Mike do before.) Mike quoted psshhgoesmysr20:

I beg to differ on a stock de motor you can hit 300+ hp as long as you have the fuel to back it up, you dont need water injection, that is simply just an added safety feature. Personally I would stick with the DE because I like the higher compression, but to each his own.

The issue at that particular time in the thread was all about DE versus DET compression and horsepower levels. So it was not 'apples vs apples' as Mike's lower compression actually supports ZAK'S point... Mike must have overlooked the compression part and focused on the 300hp without water injection portion only.

This is the site. http://www.f-max.com/
I would prefer to Buy a DET and just get a bigger Turbo. it's cheaper.

Actually it's not. The DETs have a T25 flange so you'd be stuck with a T28 for the largest turbo. So you'd have to buy a turbo manifold and front mount intercooler.

It also depends on the condition of your current motor.

I was jost wondering if any one has any flow charts for the t25 and t28 that i could take a peep at. Also about what is the maxium efficent boost levels for both these turbos. Thanks for the info. And yes i know they are both small turbos and not worth much hp.
