Farmall M Turbocharged!!!! What is safe boost?

water is always coming out of your exhaust because it is a product of combustion. water can't burn because it's the product of stuff burning. have a good one.

To say it burns is sortof simplistic, but since it has been challenged you can can read for yourself. It is actually stripped down to its basic elements and becomes active in the combustion process.....so, if fuel burns....then water burns.

Since you are talking 320psi I must assume we are talking diesels. I have not read alot on diesels, but I can tell you for sure that on a gasoline engine water is stripped down and burned. Obviously, there is a point of deminishing returns, but in a proper application it stabilizes the combustion process and is very active chemically(burning if you will).

Boost does not kill engines, detonation and RPM kill engines.

Is your turbo wastegated? I am guessing not from what you are saying. Is your fuel pressure boost referenced?

I have my engine setup with an EFI pump and boost referenced FPR feeding a holley in blowthrough configuration. While it is crude in the realm of turbo setups, it works pretty well. I run 12psi with no problems, but I am able to run enough fuel to keep a steady black to brown smoke stream rolling. I tuned back a couple jet sizes to clean it up after I ran it a couple times. Black/brown smoke is a good indicator that you have enough fuel on a turbo engine. A turbo engine likes about one point richer than NA. Full power on a turbo engine is just fine at an AFR of 11:1. 12:1 is getting on the raged edge. At about 10.5:1 you are smoking a good bit. So, consider smoke a saftey factor on a turboed gas engine.

Have fun...
