The injectors are way too small and the clutch is definitely overkill. Looks good otherwise.

 

[boosted240]

yea i want bigger injectors but i had these already so im puttin them in. Ill get some bigger ones wen i get some money. And i got a good deal on the clutch so thats why i have it.

 

[boosted240]

I just ordered a cometic HG. So ill be able to put some more boost to it. And ima try to find some 750 injectors.

 

[boosted240]

Just ordered some PTE 880s. So i think my problems are solved now.

 

[boosted240]

Yea i will. Ill probably start puttin the motor back together tomorrow. All prob have it back in the car tomorrow. But i still have to tow it to my buddys shop so he can do the ic pipin. So it'll prob be on the rd sometime next week. Ill keep you updated.

 

[boosted240]

It runs. I started it today. i did a few things a little different. I welded the internal WG closed and got a HKS 4Omm external WG, turbo XS MBC, cometic mls HG, im not runnin the kyb's nemore because FEDEX lost em, haha, and i forgot to list the gm mas air and translator in the first list. Probably going to the dyno and track sometime this week or early next week. Ill post results.

Any updates?

 

[boosted240]

A couple things happened. It jumped timing and broke a couple valves. So had to fix that. Thats fixed now so i just need to go to the dyno. And i got a new DD so ima be turning the boost up some and maybe doing a 110 octane tune. And i also now have a garrett 35r at my house incase i dont get what i want out of the 20g. Once i go to the dyno and the track ill for sure post the video.

 

[boosted240]

And I got a tial 50mm bov and fic 1000cc injectors.

 

[boosted240]

Well we tuned the car the other day. It didnt make near as much power as it should have. it made 268 on a mustang dyno which tend to read a little low. We took it to 20lbs and thats what it did. Im not happy at all. So i have a gt35r on the way along with race gas. Ima be using 110 octane. So ima be turning the boost up to probably around 26-28 lbs. It should make in the mid to upper 400 range with the new setup. Ill keep you guys posted.

If your car only made 268 at 20psi with a 20g, you have some issues to address beside a turbo upgrade. I would get it sorted out with the current setup before upgrading.

I run a 20G and have made 348awhp at ~21psi

 

[boosted240]

Thats the thing. Everything is fine. Timing is good, Plugs are good. Engine is good, no vacuum leaks, fuel is fine. It has us all confused.

 

[Boosted6]

Wow,hmm can you borrow a different 20g and see what that one does?

 

[boosted240]

Nobody has a 20g. We have turbos at the shop that are about the same thing. But i already have a 35r from a past build, so ima just throw that on there. Im really good friends with all the guys at central florida turbo and they helped me build it so i know nothin is wrong. It might just be one of the weird cases where the motor just wont make power. Iv heard about guys with VERY nasty set ups and hardly make any power. So ima just do the 35r and 110 octane and see what happens.
