So i just bought some parts for my motor and decided to sell my TC78 turbo and step it up. If im doing it im doing it how i want it done the first time. So all of this is going into my 87 Notch Fox. This will be a truck manifold setup.

My orginal setup was supposed to be a lq4 with 243 ported head and ls2 intake with custom turbo cam, tc78 turbo, 72# injectors, aeromotive a1000 fuel pump.

So things are changing, now i have my lq4, stock crank, eagle rods, pistons, 317 heads, 1.7 rockers, still have the 72# injectors and fuel pump. Going to get a METH system aswell to help.

SOOO i am curious what your thoughts are on my fuel pump and what size injectors to hit 1000. Also turbo... still up in the air, im trying to be on as much a budget i can be on to hit 1000 hp. This is a street / strip car. Thoughts .. 76gts do it?? Let me know what you think.

 

IMO the 72's will be too small to hit 1XXX unless you plan on running crazy base pressure. my 80's were already at 85%DC with just 9psi on the gate with a base pressure of 60psi...


budget and a good turbo setup dont go in the same sentence together.

 

1k wheel or 1k flywheel

 

1k wheel was my goal but if it did 800+ wheel id be happy knowing im about 1000 flywheel.. I understand budget and good dont go well together but im not going out buying a 3000 dollar turbo... id like to find 1 around 1500 range or less.

 

what trans?

 

turbo 400

 

Id hit up Forced inductions, for 1500 bucks, they can def get you into a turbo that will get your goals. They are a sponsor on the right>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And i agree, the injectors will hold you back, especially if you are going to use E85. Looks like your off to a good start.

Glide Ftw

 

I already have the turbo 400 with reverse valve body soo myswell use it

 

and yes i understand the 72# INJ will hold me back thats why i want to sell them and get what i need. a1000 fuel pump be ok?

 

Cant blame ya their

 

i have a magnafuel 4301. im about to upgrage it to a 4303. and i have injectors that for 103lbs at 43.5 psi. -10 feed. -8 return.
i have a single turbo and a th400. 1k wheel threw a th400 is about 1200 to the flywheel.

1k wheel and 800 wheel is a big price differance in parts

 

What did you put down with that fuel setup?

 

well the 4301 pump -8 feed, rc750cc injectors 60psi base pressure with a boost ref regulator (with meth injection 10 and a 15 nozzle) with a degree or two low on timing at 14psi i was mid 600 wheel. 102%dc.

now with my 103lbs im at 80ish % at 20psi w/o meth -10feed 50psi base with boost ref.

 

if you didnt know you can send in your 4301 straight to magnafuel and they'll rebuild it and upgrade to a 4303.... all for the low low price.... (drum roll)... $88!!! plus shipping.


ask me how i know this?!? and turn around time is 1 day right now

 

yes sir

 

when i called and found this out it was like i won the lotto (was getting ready to rebuild and sell my 4301 and buy retail a 4303)

 

lmao. thats the exact thing i did

 

What is your hp now with the 20psi?

 

A gt88 will get you there plus some. They can be found for around $1100

 

never got it on a dyno again but im guessing another 150hp
