    Bearing Ratings

    oem rod bearing are fine for high rpms.Acl also. Last 5-6 years to all my builds including mine i use acl for crank and oem bearings for rods. The key is the oil pressure and the rest of the rotating mass that can follow the requested rpm IN ONE piece INSIDE the engine.Also keep in mind that the...

    how much should the car boost if the wastegate actuator is not connected?

    yes blocking the actuator pipe will make boost climp way faster and higher.Most people use hks adjustable actuator to those turbos but yes if you have some basic skils you can fit one from an other turbo.Just make a bracket to fit on the turbo housing and adjust the length to the boost pressure...

    how much should the car boost if the wastegate actuator is not connected?

    If you have disconect the pipe to the actuator and it is boost faster till 0.5-0.7 than with the pipe on the actuator...then just this test is a sign that the actuator is weak enough and need to be replaced. you need to block this pipe so boost can not escape from turbo housing...not just...

    You got a serious compresion issue dude.An engine with 100psi is at the limit to start or not. If it was a known good runing block first thing i would check would be cam timing and valve clearences. It is very unusual for the block to fail accross all 4 cylinders.Was a good compresion...
