    Default How much boost can GZE Pistons hold

    All you fellas running a Turbo 4AGE/GZE with GZE Pistons, how much boost are you guys roughly running?
    If you could, could you also post up your power figures please!

    Running 22psi on mine. With stock inlet manifold limits.

    390hp at wheels.
    they are tough motors. But a bad tune will kill anything.
    i dont have a funny or cool signature.

    I have never heard of a non-detonation related failure with ZE pistons, I know someone on this forum has run 30 PSI reliably.

    I have broken a few sets of stock AE101 pistons, with as little as 18psi, but it probably came down to bad tune and/or oil starvation.
    I have never heard of someone breaking a stock rod cept due to bearing failure while drifting

    390hp @ 22psi is pretty impressive! I only got 277hp @ 23psi with 280' cams! My 25psi beams doesn't even put down numbers like that!

    thanx man, tho it has a pretty big turbo and bigger cams. but still not the power it should be making (as you can see its massive fast drop at 7300rpm) as the stock bigport manifold is pretty shit, im surprised i got that much power out of it, seeing how small those 8 runners are.

    only have this print out, we played with cams after and got 389.
