so if I lean it out and run cry02 or water injection to keep the temps down I theoretically will better resultswithout anything else done and will still have no detonation

 

more boost Gene was there a reason you had it dynoed on a stock engine other than just curiosity?

 

yes...the reason was I wanted a baseline number. I really went **** to make sure it performs the way it should stock before modifying it...including the drop of the oilpan and flushing the engine twice and sending the oil to the lab.

compression and leakdown tests will be done this weekend.

 

You can send oil to a lab?

What will they tell you about it?

 

They tell you if there are any metal shavings present, if there's gas present and some other things. Tells you a lot about the health of your engine. Sometimes you can even pin point where the shavigns are coming from based on their material.

 

wow i didnt know that....sometimes you can just drain the oil and look at it to see if theres metal shavings. My dad did that wtih my mom's subaru.

 

you can do all that but IMO it is a bit overkill, I say just get a magnetic drain plug and when you drain your oil drain it into a clear/semi clear jug or container and if there is gas or coolant present it will seperate itself from the oil.

 

You can d othat if y ou're not a lazy SOB like myself where I'd just like a written report. :-D

 

You should trade your Saab in for a Saab 92-X

 

I'll pass....I'm in love with it...
