So I've been trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together of what fuel pump, fuel, & fuel injector size to run with this ported 68hta. Older 68 that they claimed (47lb/min).
Soooo.
A. Still no compressor map after all these years for the 68
B. Every thread seems to be a e85 injector size conversion. which I'd have to run 1200+ with the 47lb/min it produces. However, I only "plan" to run premium.
C. I've seen this turbo pushed to 36psi on e85. obviously, I have zero plans of that much boost.
Mods:
FP ported 68hta internal wastegated
Fp manifold
Walboro 255 hp
Fic750cc
1g Stock fuel pressure
Greedy type s bov
Ets 7" fmic
Megan o2housing
3" Megan down&test pipe
3" thermal r&d cat back
Ecmlink w/ speed density
(That's the mods that I can think of that will have an effect)
So my question is, with no known compressor info., on premium fuel, with my set up either
A. With the current fuel setup, what is a safe reasonable psi to run at?
B. What would be my optimal fuel system setup on premium to get the full potential out of the turbo.
C. Is my injector size & fuel system sufficient enough to safely run this turbo at all?
From what I've gathered, the turbo flows 47lbs/min on the compresskr. However, many have stated they left the hot side too small and isn't efficient enough. Which one member complained of surge at 29psi due to this efficiency issue.
Starting to regret buying this turbo as getting info on it is worse than pulling teeth.
I'm still trying to learn how to choose parts and put all the systems together efficiently and safely.
