Well as you may know I have been turbo for a few years now, Making anywhere from 215-327whp, and 210-321 wtq.
I achieved my goal of seeing if a stock F23 could make 300whp.. done
I also achieved my other goal. Trying to make the most on a stock motor (even though I have head studs) I consider it stock. 327whp. I believe if its not the record its pretty damn close.
Here are my Recommendations/Observations for you guys.
F23 is a beast, No matter how many times I broke something I ALWAYS drove home (except breaking a diff)
Depending on the turbo 10 psi is dailyable, and very reliable.
13-15Psi your stock head bolts will stretch and your head will lift.
Making 300whp+ driving daily on stock pistons, to florida,racing any/everything. will eventually crack a ringland. (Or at least I believe is what happened)
So for those of you who catch my drift, I popped at piston the other night (probably just cracked a ringland) beating the hell out of her all night. I still drove it home, Its just a little down on compression for #3 cylinder.
Anyway. Now I try to decide wether to just throw another stock piston in her, try and find rods+pistons (to show you built motor guys how to really make power) or just put her together and part ways and start on a new project.
So to whom wanted to see how long I made 300+ whp, alittle over 3 months.
If you know me, you know that any/every where I go the car gets no mercy.
To others it may last longer....
