Yours blew right after you had it tuned, if I recall.

 

No... it was already tuned.

 

I just remember reading something like "Tuned by Carboy yada yada" in your signature.

 

it was by the previous owner i believe

 

Honestly I wouldnt run much boost on the C5 motor. Id go max of 5-6 lbs on a decent turbo. Unless you build the internals, the C5 is good for all motor applications. Youd be amazed what a good turbo and a measly 5lbs of boost would do with that engine, lots of power.......and the turbo would give you the torque you are missing.

 

Yea but Kedawei, the problem is a high compression motor with high boost equals major heat. I was spitting out 1,400 degrees out the back of my exhaust! I think its a little too easy for you to say a high boosted, highly compressed motor is a little too general. Especially since I have seen it first hand.

 

if you rebuild the motor then i would go the turbo route. if you are just looking for boost i would get a jackson racing supercharger and run like 5 psi because the kit is actualy ment for a b18c5

 

I talked to the shop and supposedly its running safely on 8 right now. I should be getting it back today or tomorrow.

 

Well talk to a professional tuner. It may be "Safe" now, but if it blows are they going to replace it ? I doubt it.

 

I am curious to see the whp and torque of your setup matts96hb. let us know
