Default 1930 Model A Twin Turbo 5.3 Build

Well its been 3 years, I've gained a ton of knowledge on these forums and others. Just wanted to post about my build. Please ask questions I would love to give feedback on my Oil Setup / Turbo Setup / Wiring / Megasquirt 3 Sequential Injection Setup.

I'm located in Indianapolis right now but I'm moving to Kansas City in May.

What its got
- Stock 5.3 LM7 (80k miles out of wrecked car)
- Twin 60-1 Turbos
- Tial Knockoff Wastegates
- HKS Knockoff BOV
- TH350 Tranny with Adpater Flex Plate
- Megasquirt 3 Full Standalone with MS3X for sequential fuel injection.
- 9in Ford Rear End
- Edelbrock Pro Flo Intake
- Edlelbrock Pro Flo Rails
- 60LB Injectors
- Aeromotive A1000 Pump.
- Waterpump with AN welded bungs.
- List could go forever

Pics are a million words.





I will post more updates soon as we get closer to firing it up. Along with a video.

Not HAMB friendly but it would kick as at the HAMB drags. Very cool. Hope you can bring it to Pete & Jakes in May.
