Cool! (hmmm... Scramble boost + nitrous and 100 octane?) :bigsmile: I knew a guy who had a spare tank in the trunk that switched from 100 octane to methanol with 10% nitromethane when he put the throttle all the way open. Naturally aspirated and very tuned. Was in a 70's muscle car like a...

Thank you very much. I will probably go for the steel sleeves on my current setup. I will be starting out at 10psi (that's just my minimum starting point), see what results I get (I have a friend whose brother owns a shop and he will be helping me with the tuning) then up it from there. I'm only...

Nice to have another Saturn guy on here with me. Welcome!

Yes, the 91 octane here in the US is equal to 95-96 RON in the UK.

What kind of fuel are you running?

Yes, it is a "lost foam" cast aluminum block. I actually have to travel about 100 miles or so to get e-85 (I live in one of the states that happens to not have it unfortunately) Could someone give me a decent whp estimate of 10 psi of boost on 91 octane with my setup (just a guess will do)...

Yes, I know, and that is why I was asking. 91 is the highest readily available pump gas I can get where I live, a few stations have 93, but that would be the highest I can get here, and I just want to be able to use what's available for convenience. The car, with only a cold air intake and...

The engine is a cast aluminum GM "LLO" engine, it is a 1.9L inline 4 cylinder engine with a bore of 3.23 inches (82mm) and a stroke of 3.54 inches (90mm). For heat, I will be going 2 heat ranges colder for the spark plugs, and retarding ignition timing based on boost pressures. Also, yes, I...

What is the highest amount of boost that I can (safely; conservative numbers) run (from a turbocharger) on 9:1 compression, with 91 octane pump gas? A little info on the application: 9:1 compression (as stated) Inline 4-cylinder engine with Dual Overhead Cams, 4 valves per cylinder cnc...

Yeah, like when I remove the door panels, I'll probably put some kind of fabric over it so it still looks ok.

yeah, i'm hesitant to remove sound deadening. I'm not going to go all-out, just a quick street car. I'm ok with losing the A/C (I can just roll the windows down, I usually have mine half way down anyways), I'd prefer to keep my stereo though. Also losing the gas tank means I no longer have to...

Yeah, I can remove the spare tire, put lighter front seats in, remove rear seat, take out door panels, swap windows out with lexan (polycarbonate), possibly swap to manual windows, and pull out the center console. Also, lighter alloy wheels should lower the weight as well. Would taking out the...

Yep, I'm in the US. Megasquirt is a name that I've heard tossed around a good bit, so I know it's popular over here too.

YES! I didn't think about that. Thank you so much for suggesting. Where should I start? The body is all fiberglass. I guess I could get some lightweight racing seats? What else?

Would it be better to use a separate controller or the built in one in a stand alone system? I know the standalone system with built in nitrous controller would be more simple because you wouldn't have to deal with a bunch of separate controllers, but I was just wondering your opinion (maybe...
