DLRPLATE

Just curious if any one has had any problems with the s281? I blew the motor yesterday in mine it only had 20k. It was making 12lbs of boost, dont know if that is stock or not. Dont want to turn it in for warranty without knowing if its stock. Literally bought it yesterday and blew it up my such luck.</P>


Give me your 2 cents.</P>

ask the previous owner....if i had a S281 i wouldnt do much to it though, especially anything drastic with only 20k miles on it.

12psi isnt normal i run a smaller pulley and i can barely get 11psi, not sure the fuel requirements for higher boost. that sux my car has 26xxx on it</P>

Howd u blow it, im assuming rod knock and what u do</P>

well I would look around for a stock pulley and put it on before going to have warranty work

YEA 12 PSI IS WHY U BLEW YOUR MOTOR THATS TOO MUCH MAN

DLRPLATE, what year is it? That car made around 7 psi stock, so on a stock tune I could see why 12 psi would cause a connecting rod to go. (im guessing that's what happened)

is 10 psi ok an a 00 saleen s-281?

Birdieman4

10 is fine, as long as the tune is decent.

tune as in chip or what im puttin a saleen series 4 charger on my 00 saleenand thats it

Birdieman4

tune as in getting the a/f ratio right achieved through a custom chip, or a MAF tuner- which is my preference...
