Hi guys im thinking about going turbo, i have a stock 7afe motor, im currently running a 3 row all aluminum radiator and a big transmission oil cooler with an electric fan on it. I have a brand new torque converter inside the transmission. I got about 140k on the motor and tranny. i also have 440cc injectors (not installed), got a cheap aem piggy back (not installed). i will go have it dyno'd and tuned by a shop if i do get a turbo setup but im curious what 7afe stock motors can handle (my guess is not very much). i dont want to kill the motor just want to bump up the hp and tq as much as i can without going forged.

It has been a long time since I have been on here. I use to run 14psi on my 7afte auto all the time. The most I sent through it was 27psi. Blew my couplers apart!! Lol
Now before anyone says bs! I had a greddy black box on it then. I also was running 110 octane that night at the track. I did 3 runs on it. First one my wheels spun to much on the launch. ... I went in the burn out box & did not know to clean my tires. So I ran a 15 sec the second run I avoided the box & ran a 14 flat. The third I blew the couplers on & came in with a 16.5 lol!!
Now fast forward to now & I am still running the same motor & transmission in the car. Only thing is I sold the turbo kit back in 2008/9. Bought a house & had kids. Now the kids are older & I am going to turbo it once again. I just don’t plan on racing it. So 7 psi on a good tune is the plan. Just for show.
