PISHTAS turbo build
lol. yup. myself included. i have no idea how that guy on allpar got his to run with 16psi of boost. mine gave up at 8. save yourself the trouble and headache of trying to make it work and just run an electric pump and regulator.
I think there's been lots of really good advice here RE: fuel pumps and regulators on blow-thru systems.
One thing that I have not seen mentioned in this particular thread is the importance of the acquisition of a good wide-band A/F ratio meter. That should be the very first purchase, because it will ultimately become evident that it is
absolutely necessary to the build, and you might as well bite the bullet and get it over with
I CANNOT IMAGINE DOING THIS WITHOUT ONE!!!
They will cost anywhere from $200-up. There are several manufacturers who make good ones, so shop around.
I think I paid about $335.00 for mine, but I am pretty bad at finding bargains.
Also, be advised that ALL of the O-2 sensors these meters use, are terminally-allergic to lead in the gas...
it will kill their ability to function, in short order, so be sure you only expose those meters to unleaded fuel. Alcohol doesn't seem to hurt them, but the replacement sensors cost around $100-apiece. A word to the wise...
Good luck!!! :cheers:
