more prep for the turbo

[morgan-tec]

Well i am running a Stinger high power dry cell battery so i am not woried. WE have done a bunch of electric fan conversions at Redline with no problems. My sensor does not go in the hose either somple rediator install. I have a lot more experiance and success with turbos and they really are not that big of a plumbing nightmare for the extra gains.

I'm a big fan of turbos too, but only when spun at considerable (at least double digit) boost levels. Anything less than that you may as well go with a centrifugal superchager and some sort of I/C.

Can the 3.5 handle 10+ psi?
My turbo experience is limited to the SR20det, RB25dett, KA24-t, 4G63, B16, EJ20t, EJ22t and the VG30dett. The VG30 was a holy nightmare because of the limited room in the engine compartment. I don't see how the VX is going to be easy to plumb, but then again, I don't have half of your fab skills.
What kind of manifolds are you thinking of?

ka24....wats the max boost on tat with the stock block?

The KA's a tough motor -iron block, forged crank, etc. Chris May pulled 26-27 psi on his KA. Most bolt on kits for the KA will leave you around 10 psi.

Well since this post was started i have changed plans a little. I am working on a powerdyne S/C instead of the turbo, basically i got lazy and also wanted to make it easy to remove for warrenty reasons. The 3.5 should handle 10-11psi if i can figure out the fuel. I am planning on about 8-9psi with the current puttey i have on it. It is still in the design and fab stage but i hope to get it done this summer.
