Scones, do you have all of your piping done? If not, whos doing your bending? I'm going to need some intercooler piping bent sooner or later and was wondering who does that around here and won't rape you in price...

[Scones]

Steve (Schlodes knows a guy) that does it. I'm just gonna use PVC piping for now lol

What the hell... UPDATES MAN!

You're slacking.

No worries. I dont take offense to anyone on message boards. Keep us updated with how the install goes.

You should make your own cold side. Its much easier than the hot side. This is the second setup I have made on my car. I wish I had a better welder other then the POS ebay 90A unit I have.

Hot side was a pain but the cold side was pretty easy. Here's a picture of the car last week. You can see how I routed mine. I know a twin setup is very different from a single.

What T3's are you planning on using?

Flynnt - I found the cheapest mendrel bends are from Dynomax. I think i paid 16-18 bucks for a u-bend. If you can find someone with a mendrel bender that local let me know

I picked up one of my .63/.60 turbos, all my oil lines and fittings, and the 24lb injectors on sunday. i'll try and get some pics up for you guys ASAP. the turbo was in amazing condition, even has a nicely polished compressor housing...bling bling lol

24's seem on the small side? Are you planning on running an FMU? 36's would be a more approperiate size for a mild setup. You can also use #28's from a grand national or #30's from the ford thunderbirds. The GN injectors have a nice bonus of going "fat" on the top end offering more fuel.

24's are good to about 350 WHP NA. You car at 6-8 PSI should make that no problem but you might be playing with fire wich such a small injector. Blow HG's are a PITA. I would try 19's with an FMU or #36 lb/hr straight up IMO.

24s are a little on the small side but they're also the biggest i can go with the factory speed density eec. i'll be using a 12:1 kenne bell FMU to spike the pressure under boost. kind of an archaic set up but i've seen it work (MM&FF made it work using 19s on a 10:1 compression stang lol).

You should have lots of fuel with 24's and a FMU. We all have cars on a budget. Just do the best with what you have.

Exactly, that's why I said I had an FMU and posted a pic of it on the first page of this thread :

LOL my deepest appolgies. I managed to pick up new #43 lb injectors for 150.00 for my car so it all worked out well. My buddy made me fuel rails from aluminum bar. The fuel lines from the rails to the regularo are off a TTC Bus. I still have a pile into my car and I still need paint and exhaust.

Keep my updated on the turbo project.
