Gathered some bits and had the shop to myself for a long weekend with one goal...turbo time Downpipe ingredients Schedule 40 stainless elbow...stout chunk of metal Tacked in with flange Angle looks good...it was tough holding all this and turbo while trying to mark it to get alginment right Turbo mounted...getting spicy Turbo manifold with crossover modified from original layout Hotside wrapped and coming together
Big ol cooler... gonna need some brackets and alot of cutting to fit Was able to male the bumper beam fot with some slight modificating All mounted and bumpered Painted the bits
With the turbo setup the Ram clutch I had in there couldn't hold. It was rated for 500hp but would just lose grip under boost above 60mph.
Picked up a twin disk setup from mcleod. Hopefully all will hold. Little more break in and we will hive her all the beans my fuel system can give her.
I was running out of fuel above 5krpm. I swapped the 340 pump with a 450 but still running lean up top. Need to verify fuel pressure but its gonna need more pump or injectors unless i limit boost at 10psi Slapped my gauge on the windsheild and took it for a spin... definitely dropping pressure
Pulled drive train to separate engine and trans Mcleod twin disk rated for 800hp so hopefully should be enough Ram clutch was not having a good time Got a little spicy Walbro 450 crammed in the stock basket
