98 GST Blown

A kid i know was running 20 psi on his 98 gst just ta drive around town, i told him he was gonna kill his motor. A couple months later this is exactly what happened. I told him to drop a first gen. eclipse engine into it to replace it because I think that they are stronger. Is this right?:bloated:

Was he running 20psi on his T-25?

Yes drop in a 6-Bolt, so you dont have to worry about crankwalk, as disscussed in the many threads in this forum

also the 1g head is more free flowing..

yea i thought id just put my .02cents in tho.

20 psi on a 2g will kill the t25 before it kills the motor :wink: Boost frops to 15 psi after 5500 rpm, which is stock. Before 15 psi, the fuel demand is low and the stock system can keep up. I found it impossible to kill my motor at any boost level on the T25, but the turbo didnt survive 2 months of high boost. Did get down to 13.7 at 99 before it went though :iceslolan

So this leads me to my next question. How do you know the motor was blown? I'll bet it wasnt. My brother and I pick up a lot of "blown" 2Gs real cheap and turn them around a couple weeks later for 5k profits, lol. Keep em coming... :wink:
