RE: Going turbo-

Yeah, the mpfi setup w/ a carb'd intake sounds like it would be the best setup. Then you can run the injectors you want as well (plus get them flow matched - crucial to any forced induction motor at high rpm).

How do you know that the intake can handle 14psi? I'm not trying to question your knowledge, just trying to help so that no one ends up blowing their intake plenum.

RE: Going turbo-

its been done more than once before. couple guys have run 14+psi on procharger set-up and such. we will see. the upper intake is like $30 i may buy an extra one just incase.

or with the sy/ty lower intake manifold i could send it to raceprovenmotors.com and get it converted to fit vortec heads- only $450 so maybe........ hmmmmm....

RE: Going turbo-

w00t some progress- just sent out my checks for the cartech adjustable FMU, and machperformance inline fuel pump- as soon as it stop raining im gonna go put a second coat of engine paint on the cold side

- fuel system should be here bye next tuesday and it will be installed as soon as i get it done.

my digital camera stoped working so its a no-go on the pictures, sorry guys im gonna try and borrow a friends- also gonna go ahead and wire the oil pump-

QUESITON-

would it be okay to wire the oil pump and inline fuel pump to the same relay- they are bost supposed to come on @ the same time so it should be okay correct?

RE: Going turbo-

I would run two separate relays using the same trigger for both, but running separate fused links to the battery.

RE: Going turbo-

just have one more pipe 2 fabricate but other then that just waiting on the fuel system and it will be a done deal- a buddu around here has tunercats for all vehicles hes had it for a long while so he do any amount of vehicles he wants so we are gonna go rent a dyno for 1hour and do some dyno tuning on 9 or 10psi- sorry pics are from a camera phone

RE: Going turbo-

well spent the last 3 days making everything fit- and tonight got it 2 boost- only ran 4psi cause i dont have the fmu installed but thats gonna be in 2 moro.

truck feels so strong and omg the turbo sound is amazing with the rearmount. try and get some videos and pictures. not to pretty gotta figure outa how to get intake on there- prolly use some flex tube. otherwise well worth it.
