My real goal is to run low 10's in 1/4, I keep teasing my wife that I might run the car on "PINKS". Since this is my project car and not my daily driver, I wouldn't be to to upset if I lost....

Re: Changed my turbo setup (pic)
T70..... Yes it's intercooled. I just had to upgrade to 65lb injectors because my 42lb's were going static at 14psi and 5500 rpm. I'm gonna try for 16 - 17 psi on pump gas.

Re: Changed my turbo setup (pic)
I have so many questions for you!!! Where in south Florida are you???!!! Is the turbo actually a garret? Where did you get the injectors? Did you build the kit yourself?

Re: Changed my turbo setup (pic)
Hey Ray,
I was curious if you felt that using the stock intake was being a restriction on your boost?
Have you had the car dynoed yet ?
I was thinking about going holley stealth just for ease of switching out injectors..

Rob,

With a boosted least of your worries should be a intake,heads,etc. Depends on your HP goals and how much $$ you want to spend. Id say stick with the stock intake for now. Invest in a GOOD fuel system and tuning stuff 1st.

Some verry good reading for you.

Re: Changed my turbo setup (pic)
What are you going to do with the air intake to the turbo? I also have the Commander 950, how much timing are you going to run under boost? What is your compression and are the dart heads iron or aluminum?

Re: Changed my turbo setup (pic)
Brandon, PM sent about alternator and bracket......

D's89IROC, As far as the intercooler, I removed the AC condenser and measured to see the biggest intercooler I could find..... It fit perfect, but had to do alittle trimming to get the the inlet / outlet pipes to connect. Check ebay there is tons...


Imthebriman, I'm in Pembroke Pines. I got my new 65 lb Bosch injectors from Musclemotors.com, after I got these I found a place that sells 62lb injectors for much cheaper (Oh Well). As far as the Turbo kit, I did eveything myself expect the Turbo header (BDDS or BBDS) the Turbo is a Master Power T70 with a .96 exhaust housing.

Lotek, I got the turbo from "MikeTurboinc.com" , the compression if I remember right is around 8.7-1.

Calebzman, the heads are the Dart Iron Eagle Plat. cast iron w/200cc runners.
