Safe boost with hybrids/440 injectors

Hi guys,

 

Recently acquired a new Supra that has hybrid twins on it, with an MBC set to 0.9 bar. I'll be fitting my Blitz DSBC soon to poke the boost up a little, as it simply feels lethargic at that level. I've had a little search around but can't seem to find what people believe to be a safe area to up the boost to with 440s & hybrids?

 

Cheers

Hmm, looks like I'll need bigger injectors sooner than I thought. 0.9 bar is pretty awful (I can only presume because larger turbines + nearly stock boost = pointless?), so I can't see 1.2 bar giving me quite enough power to be satisfied with it. :(

 

Cheers guys.

Would you like some sympathetic words from someone who thinks boost is just a chocolate bar?

It depends on the spec of the hybrid turbos, if they flow significantly more air than the stock turbos then you could be in danger of running lean above 1bar. Putting the car on a dyno will tell you just how much boost is safe to run with the 440cc injectors

Yeah, they definitely don't spool like my old stock turbos nor make the same sound at all (not to mention the car has been on this club for circa 10 years, can see all the history!)

 

Well, looks like this is going to be expensive :(
