Hi there , I have the nice BBS turbo kit comeing soon and I am researchnig stuff before it actually goes on .

1. I read that someone was considering the swap to a header setup instead of useing manifolds . Why would someone want to change from one to another ?

2.Oil pump high volume standard flo ...is this what I want? I seen it in a turbo post , figured I'd ask . Will a stock one do ?

3. What are the injectors best suited for this? I am guessing at useing the SVO 30lb ones .

4. I don't mind overkill when it coems to adding longevity to these new expensive parts so as far as oiling goes I am seeing a 3/8 ID tubeing of sorts would be overkill for a return ....what about the one that feeds it ?

5 . oil pressure what is considered to high /low . So if I do start it up and , find out the stock pump can;t keep up .... what is the value I am looknig NOT to see ( just bought my autometer C2 guages )

6 As far as guages I think I need a boost guage but there are two kinds ....noe with just straight boost and one with boost AND vacuum . which should I get and any other guages I Need

7. books ....anyone feal like tossing me the ISBN #'s of some good starter books ?
BBS turbo kit I have


Thats the kit I appreciate all the input you can give me
BTW I will be runnnig the setup bellow in my sig other stuff is on my www. If I missed anything of note

 

Here is a brake down of the kit to make it a bit easier

The turbos shouldn't need much more oil, as they have very small orifice holes for their sleeve bearings. They do add a bit of heat to the oil, though. Old rule of thumb has been 10 psi per 1000 rpm, but modern engines can get away with much less than that, especially if you have larger clearance, run syth oil, and have internal parts coated (wrist pins, bearings, pistons).

Books are listed in the sticking - Hugh MacInnes and Corky bell are the starters.

Return oil line from the turbos should be large. I'm using a -10AN, as the oil is very foamed at this point, after passing through the bushing/bearing where the shaft is spinning ato 100,000 rpm. A restriction (smaller ID) may cause you to blow oil past the turbo seals. YMMV.

Boost/vac gauge is personal choice, but I find knowing vacuum at idle and part throttle helpful.

I hope this helps.

 

Thanx for the tips . I have seen the titles before . But I was told I need the ISBN numbers to have my local book store order them


thanx again

 

forget it I seen the amazon links in one of the other threads



again thanx
