I have done the best I could with the car, i got it in 09 and put a hood on it wheels etc, then the hood came up and the insurance company totaled it out.. I then decided to build it andvi have a pretty vast knowledge in DIY turbocharging lol being as I have built quite a few kits. I also have a few other obstacles (kids and 3 to be exact lol) and it was a slow build 3 years and ongoing today lol.. I bought a diesel turbo, ordered mandrel piping off eBay, external waste gate , tial 50 mm bov, walbro 255, 60 lb injectors, megasquirt standalone, 14 psi now,built the aode in my garage, jmodded the valvebody, 2800 stall from edge racing,ported the heads, upper and lower intakes, milled the heads .0010, bbk subframe connectors, you know the suspension minus the tubular control arms, stock long block other than that, I really want to see how fast I can go with the stock block, I have a total of about 10k including buying the car..
Waste gate placement..
I maxed out my 42 lb injectors before and had to step to 60 lb to compensate, the 42's are maxed out between the 450. -500 horsepower area so I'm hoping the see 500 through the auto at the next dyno,
Took it down the street with my iPhone dynolicious app(which is amazing!! If you havecthexweight entered correct it's always been within 3 horsepower for me, hit up a weigh station for sure.) lol. Last year at 12 psi and it read 461 horsepower at the wheels @ 23% drivetrain loss.. So that's all I have to go off of right now..lol Now I'm at 14 psi and a little more aggressive timing.. So well see, it's a variable vane turbo and i have it locked down to where I star seeing boost at about 2800- full spool by 3300 rpm hits very fast that's why I asked about the traction issue lol..
