: : 10:1 works fine but you actually should tune it on a dyno to make sure you are getting good fuel all over the range. If you aren't going for more than 300-320 crank HP, no internal work should be needed to run reliably. : 2)How about fuel, sticking with stock ECU, larger injectors, extra inj, re-maping the ECU? Mardigra from the .Org seem to have successfully used larger inj with the need to remap the ECU, with proper tuning of course. : I think it would be great to get a custom ECU with bigger injectors, but thats bank. S/C people get away with a FPR, but make sure you aren't lean. : 3)I assume a FMIC is in order, or some kinda cooler : I didn't have one and I wish I did, but if you are doing it in stages you can get away without it. Stick to 6 psi until you intercool. : : 4)Which turbo family and why, (T3, TO4B, TO4E, T- series<--yeah right) how about the compressor and turbine trims, which a/r size. Did you research to find the best compressor map for your application? : Depends on your needs. I am not a turbo expert(obviously) but T-3 will give you great spoolup(more torque than a 'stang almost) but they are too small and blow a lot of hot air about 5000(from my experience) Thats something I would have thought more about if I could redo it. : : 5)What's your target hp gain, and how much boost are you looking to run on pump gas. : I would say I had 240 crank HP with lots of torque off 6 psi. Too bad I was foolish to never strap it to a dyno. : 6)Wet or dry bearing housing, I guess there's a benifit between the two. : Wet = more plumbing, but longer lasting (OEM) : 7)Relocating the battery to the trunk for extra room or not? : 8)Nismo seem to have bought back some old post from the .Org referring to turbo projects and I was wondering if any of those ever got completed, it appears not besides Czar VE-T : Jeff and Matt took over the project after me, and I haven't heard what all happened with it, but it sounds like they was making it 100% better than I did. : Oh yeah, DYNO TUNE!!!!! : I tuned it at the dragstrip in 95 degree heat by pinching the fuel return hose to get the most fp I could out of the pump and ended up incinerating a plug, lucky me.
I have made "some" progress but when I email you, I don't get a reply. Perhaps I should give you a call. Local maxima meets are out for now because there are too many numnutz in our area. I can get together w/ some of the local guys because the live real close(ie..Iansw) but you are further south. Let me know if you are ever up north. Would be happy to show the progress(however small hehe)
: : 1)Are you keeping your stock comp ratio, especially the VE guys. If not are you going with lower cr piston or thicker head gaskets?
: Dry = generally fine for aftermarket/custom (Remember to let the turbo cool down etc.)
:
: No need, depends on turbo placement, but I prefer right under the front manifold for numerous reasons.
