No smart ass replies from me......
With all of that boost (22+ psi) my car's running I'm as likely to knock the basement out of my original 70,000 mile stock lower end. I hope not.
But it will sure speak volumes for the strength of the MINI motor if it holds up......
if not, then there's a stroker in my future....... Ahhh! The slippery slope steepens...

Nah you should be alright i figure.
Its not just the PSI its in the tune. Just make sure you keep oil in there!
RE: TVS Final Prototypes - Jan - 01-28-2014 10:26 AM
the stock pistons don't like more than 20psi so this will be a good test regardless
the top ring is too far up which makes that ring land weak

sounds like you are tip toeing across the line, to see if it survives? If it does, are you going to push alittle more to find the breaking point?
RE: TVS Final Prototypes - Jan - 01-28-2014 03:53 PM
it's already at the breaking point for stock pistons.........lol

Jan, could you explain please,
This new TVS has 22 lbs of boost. It is almost as much as rotrex. But it is 100 hp less. Why? Safer timing?

PSI doesn't = power
Flow=power
the rotrex flows more air at the same psi, there for it makes more power.

Yep, but the TVS will make more low end torque, because of the S/C design.
I'm a DICK! Dont like it? Skip this post!

Whats that old saying.....
Horsepower sells parts and Torque wins races.
