Howard Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 He is yet another picture from the Automobile Quarterly issue. This is a front wheel drive Turbo. This one could have been built without too much trouble. Again, not to be. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Thanks Howard! It doesn't look too different than my project, although I am going to try blowing through the MAF, but it may end up being relocated. I see where they relocated a couple of things I will need to move also. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trofeo73 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Hmmmm..... That looks just like how I was going to do it, except the exhuaut will go under the engine via past the front subframe. I found that the adjustable fuel regulator on Relentlessracing.com is Exactly like the one on the 88-90 fuel rail. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> This unit IS adjustable for $115 or so. I would say it would run pressure up to 85 psi or so. I attached a stock turbo lebaron regulator in place of mine,......no problems, runs like usual. I guess chrysler and gm had a similar contract with Bosch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 It might be a good idea to check your fuel pressure with that Chrysler calibrated regulator. In the fuel injector website I have been using, many of the Chrysler's list fuel pressure @ 55 psi. That's a good thing to a certain extent, if you need more fuel for the turbo for example, it will make the 18.8# injectors we have, act like they are a little over 21#, or enough fuel for approx. 250hp @ 100% duty cycle. http://users.erols.com/srweiss/tableifc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trofeo73 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 250 hp is what I am looking for. A high flow inline pump and/or an extra injector may be required. I am going to keep an eye on my o2 sensor reading so as not to lean out to much. When it gets bad, I will stop and add more fuel. If I can afford it I would love to have an Electromotive fuel/spark management syestem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trofeo73 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 BTW, I believe 55psi is what it is! You were right on the money! Thanks for the link, great site. I am going to start on all this in a couple weeks. The turbo was free, so why let it collect dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 You should be able to replace your stock in tank fuel pump with one from a modern S/C car. I bought a high flow Walbro in tank pump and adjustable pressure regulator for mine but haven't installed them yet. Either one has more capability than the transaxle will probably handle. I thought about a seventh injector also, the Grand National boys did that years ago before they figured out how to make large injectors run well with control in the chip. One other possibility is the free set of injectors I have from a Ford 351. They are rated @ 22# at our stock fuel pressure. I don't know if the stock computer will run them succesfully or not but they may be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trofeo73 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 BTW with some enthusiasm from my roomates I am probubly going to start on this this weekend(gulp!) That is if the T3 flange gets here by Friday.....I may need the injectors if my o2 senser spells danger! If this goes well I am going to have the trans rebuilt/beefed up by my roomate (he works at a transmission shop) I will email you in a couple of days Hal.

Guest trofeo73 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 How much was the walboro pump and where did you get it. I can get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator from LRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2seater Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I bought the pump and billet aluminum regulator at the GS Nationals in Bowling Green last year. If I remember right they were $95-$100 each. You can probably find the same or similar stuff from vendors that link with the Grand National forum, http://www.gnttype.org/ or Thrasher. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
