rdsk8ter Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 ok it may be a stupid question but can I mount a set of turbo headers backwards? (So the turbos are in the front of the engine?) Also on a built 350 with about 9-9.5 compression whats the max psi that will not damage the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to trim the flange to clear a sending unit, etc, but no biggie. To answer your question about the compression ratio and boost, it begs the questions 1) how good is the quench? 2) what kind of fuel are you running? Corky Bell's Maximum Boost is a great place to get those kinds of turbo related questions answered. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustin280zx Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 If you run an intercooler and 93 octane with about 9.2:1 I think you should be safe with 10-12 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
