YES!! Turbo Update!

T61 being shipped Monday.

Any ideas of how much more power this will make on the 3.1, vs the tiny 16g?

Zeitronix Wideband Oxygen sensor should be on the way next week, too!

Visions of 300rwhp @ 12psi dancing through my head. :hail:

Makes me want to stop trying to sell my '87 and just hold on to it and turbo it.

I kept my V6 to play with it in the same way.
The V6 could take 12psi if there is no leaning out or detonation.

8.5:1 CR? Yes. I would consider 12psi the upper 'safe' pressure, as long as you were in a very efficient portion of the compressor's flow map (78 freakin' percent on the T61!!) Yeah, I'll be smack dab in the center of the inner island on the T61's flow map.

I'm actually more worried if the 24lbs injectors I have will keep up.

The T61 will go on, as soon as I have a Wideband O2 in my possession
