hey whats up guys, well i decided to put a v-8 into my car and since it was turboed prior to the removal of the old engine i decided to make it a turbocharged 8 and since i am still new to the ls style motor any advice that you can send my way will be appreciated but anyways here is what my setup will look like
5.3 liter with ls1 intake and auto tranny
t72 turbo with 60mm hks wastegate
55lb injectors high impedence for now
front mount intercooler with 3" piping
and all this will go into a 77 datsun 280z so what do you guys think

Hmmmmmm....... Light car.....V8....... Turbo..........

No, really, sounds like a cool project. What trans are you running? A PG would work great in such a light car.
