Another budget turbo build.

So 30lb injectors and a war chip would put me on the right path? I want to play with a war chip anyway, so that's already on the list. Is there no fuel line solution that would safely handle increased pressure? I like to go overkill whenever possible.

30Lbs will support 8-10psi depending on what size of turbo you end up with...The war chip or Ostrich 2 is the perfect solution for the DIY tuner... I would say never go over 75psi on the stock lines to be safe...Also invest in 42LB injectors in case you want to run more boost later and keep the injectors at a safe duty cycle %

Good lucK!

I was talking to todd (tglaze) about buying his manifold, and running a setup very similar to his. I don't think I want to monkey with ms, as it seems like a lot of work for a dd. When I retire her from daily duty, I'd like to consider running e85 and more boost though, so big big injectors (~42% bigger) and matching fuel delivery. Is there any way to run AN braided fuel lines? I haven't seen anyone running those, and when I was a little tyke in the garage, I was taught this was the only way to go.

Here is a pic of the back of a spare block. There is a bolt (removed) on the back of the block that plugs a possible oil feed line. I removed the bolt and took it to a local hose a fitting guy and told him what I wanted.


I am still running on stock ecu and fuel pump with no problems. Timing is also stock. Thats why I can't exceed 8psi.

What about pistons, head gasket and vlaves are they also stock?
