High comp turbo ???
Just some food for thought for all of you engine builders out there. Prior to hanging a turbo on an engine, you probably need to do a compression test on it to determine the approximate compression ratio, and then a simple leak down test to see if the engine is sealed up enough to handle additional cylinder pressure.
Kinda like checking your blood pressure and cholesterol before you go out and run a marathon.
Tools cost about $100 at Harbor Freight and will save you thousands on just a couple engines.
As far as compression goes, you can run high CR and high boost, you just have to chose your parts accordingly. Perfect pistons, perfect heads and awesome fuel, multi stage timing retard and big ass cams.
Buddy Ingersol made 3500+hp / 100psi out of a V-6 in the 70's and NHRA outlawed his $hit and made him go home, cause all the rest of the Pro-Stock geniuses could not get within 200ft of him.
How do you think Don Nase Jr. runs 6.30's / 200+ in a 1.8L Turd Chevy ECOTEC engine ???
