Here is the chart. It's showing 12.1 PSI for the combo I'm going to install. So add 1.5 to 2 and I should be a little over 14.....
DDMWorks Supercharger Kit - Now more power Available

Well since you kicked your supercharger up a notch I guess it's only fair for me to kick the turbo up two notches.
Running the green spring now. Going to skip green and natural colored spring and go on to green and yellow.
This will either be EPIC or an EPIC FAIL..
But I was always told to go big or go home. So what the heck. Let's give it a shot.
This is the Hahn X2 8.5 PSI red and natural combo sitting beside what im about to install. Remember the way Hahn routes the vacuum line we get 1.5 to 2 PSI more than the spring rates are..
-
I'd like to up my Hahn a bit, but it only had the springs for the 6-7 psi. The other Springs were not there. Called Precision and they stated they include all the springs with their BOVs. Emailed Hahn, but no answer for more than 2 weeks. Were your springs included, if not, where did you get them?

Rab, that blue spring looks pretty cool. How soon before you try that one out?

'Dave@DDMWorks' asked "Do you know how it was determined that the head bolts were not torqued properly?"
Unfortunately, I don't know how the head bolt torque was measured. I merely reposted something I had read that seemed like other folks should be made aware of. Thanks for explaining more about torquing fasteners such as head bolts. Based on videos I've seen of the engine manufacturing process, I would have expected the head bolts to have been installed and torqued using a mechanized process to ensure proper tightening.
This situation raises one of the problems with info found on the Internet. I reposted what seemed like useful info, w/o a complete understanding of all of the related background information.
One last final question. When installing an aftermarket forced induction unit, either supercharger or turbocharger, do you feel the head bolts should be checked or replaced? -
'rabtech', are you doing this to your original engine or have you gotten your rebuilt, fortied engine back from DDMWorks? Best of Luck, either way!
-
I have my original engine sitting in the corner of my garage. This is the engine DDM built for me.
-
I still think the coolest thing is the turbine sound. It so loud!
-
-
Hadn't realized you'd gotten it back!
How much fun is it to remove the engine and trans? -
3 hours to remove the engine. 3 hours to put it back. No need to remove the transmission. Just put a jack under the transmission to support it and slide the engine right out. When you put the new clutch and flywheel onto the engine just use the alignment tool to line the clutch disk up and tightened it all down.
-
-
I want to make sure that everyone understands that the clutch and flywheel are equally as important as a built engine. The 14 pound lighter flywheel and the metallic compound clutch disk are like the icing on the cake. It's amazing how fast the engine can rev up now. And it's amazing how grippy the new clutch is.
-
@rabtech is running his new DDM forged engine presently and lovin' every minute of it !
And now he's costing me even more money.Join the club - the man is a pusher
First he put the turbo needle in my arm - now a built motor
Next he will have me adding wings and getting a pilots licenseGotta love the guy!

Thought I would show off the outstanding product DDM Works produces. The punch it delivers is by far better than the looks it generates.
