Boost at 7500rpms?

[johnD]

What is the expectd boost of a Riva stage2 RXP running at 7500rpms? What is the max boost range for a stage2 at full rpms? I'm trying to find out if I have aboost leak. I can't get it up past 7700 so I'm using 7500rpms as a basis. Thanks!

When I was at 7800-7850 I want to say I was around 6 psi...

At 8050 I am cranking just a hair under 8 and I believe at 8150 you are in the 8-8 1/2 range

When I installed mine I had a boost leak and couldn't turn past 7600. Re-sealed it and removed the BOV and it went to 7850-7900. Had the prop repitched and it now sits comfortably at 8050 all day long in 95 degree heat...

Edit - Knowing 5500+/- + 0psi and 8150 = 8+ psi I'm guessing you should be in the 5-6 range @ 7500-7700rpms?

Chris, that sounds about right, same with the GTX here, at 8100 it`s at 8 psi...PR...

Thanks for the info. So its 5-6psi's at 7500 rpms. I'll see what I'll get tomorrow. Hope my prolem is just as simple as a boost leak.

JohnD - Check the hose connections, especially on the pipes going into the i/c. These tend to slip off when the motor torques, and may require double clamps. I now run double clamps on all pipe connections. Jerry and I both had this problem @ Mudbug.

Also, make sure your old i/c blockoff plate is sealed with black permatex before the clamp is retightened. Peolple have complained about loosing boost from this part as well.

Hope this helps.
