zero to huron speed in a day! Well it's that time for FI!
Talked to Jon at Huron and got set up with a killer deal on the kit! So i pulled the trigger. The car is my DD and only vehicle, so I always plan installs and mods in a maximum of 24hrs down time. On to the set up.
Right now as it sits, I have PRC 2.5 heads 5.3 castings, futral f-13 cam on a 114, SS4000, fast 90/90, 3.73 gears....not exactly optimal for a turbo right? lol. The plan is, I have a motor in my garage im building for boost, for now, just getting the kit on, working out any bugs, amd maybe run 5 or 6 lbs of boost MAX because im right at 11:1 compression. Once i get the time to finish the boost shortblock i'll turn the wick up to 15+ psi. I'm going to be adding a scavenge pump on the return line for oil drain, the turbo sits very low, but all in all it's a very nice kit!!
Here are the pics of the install, enjoy!

Thanks!!
Yeah it took about 10 total hours by myself. In no way is it a bolt on kit lol, but most everything is there needed to get it going! I saw your build thread, looks like it's gonna be a fun car for sure! Are you worried how low the turbo sits? I have been driving mine for a week now, every once in a while i'll get a puff of oil smoke while cruising and coming to a light. Getting a scavenge pump to put on the return side just in case.
