75518, Custon turbo componets
Posted by coolwhip, Aug-26-04 08:37 PM
Ok im about to start compiling all of the parts i need to turbo my 80k mile 420a. i have some questions, and yes i did use the search, but after looking through about 5 pages i gave up, so could someone please answer my questions without saying "use the search". thanks. ok now for my questions.

1. my motor has 80k on it, and compression is 200/200/195/200. i should be good to run about 5-6 psi for some time before upgrading internals, right?

2. from USING THE SEARCH ive found that the 16g is good for quick spool up and all around performance, while the t3/t4 isa turd at low rpm but a rocket past like 3500. is this correct?

3. what is a good downpipe to use (good=QUALITY)

4. i want to go IC, so what is a good FMIC to use?

5. What supporting mods will i need if i plan on running 8 psi max, but realisticly 5-6 psi. any fuel mods, etc etc???

Thnaks in advance, this is really gonna help me out. Later

Yes, if you can tune decently

vortech sfmu fuel regulator or 8-injector setup(search for it). Youll need an upgraded fuelpump (Walbro 255 at www.exileracing.com). possibly slightly larger injectors, stay below 30lb injectors for 5-8psi.

theres various other things like blow off valve, wastegate(depends if you are going internal or external wastegate. your clutch will not last forever, so keep the beatings to a minimal, other than that, read everything you can, and youll be fine.
