I read at the end you were having fuel delivery issues, whatever happened after that?

Don't get me wrong you can make some stupid big power from a draw-thru. My buddy Rip has ludicrous in his 2332cc holley carb'd rail, but he isn't happy with the drivability. I already am aware that I am pissing off peeps by just talking about EFI, but it is one of those things that will give you the best of all worlds, and with boost, spark and fuel control is key to running reliable power.

I said my piece and I'm going to leave it be. BTW I sold my turbo kit to buy the notch, the tranny wasn't holding up.

thats cool as far as drivablity its was good in the bug .my fuel problem was solved by a holley blue and a boost refrence fuel regulater i also had to get the weber opened up and rebuilt by aj simms to support the boost it runs alot better at 14 pounds of boost, than at 6 or 7 pds but then the problem is octane if i run it at 6 to8 pds its fine on 97 oc but if i do more than that i have to run 116 sunco,its cool...........

Thanks for the intrest,i do like your set up ............

I'm in buying mode right now for my turbo build. I will be adding a GM flex fuel sensor and doing a ethanol tune, it will be a true flex fuel car, and turbo's love love love e85. My last build spooled 1000 rpms quicker on E and I gained about 40whp and over 15 tq. I just sourced some US made ceramic lifters...giggity!

Do you know what the actual pn is? a lot of turbos are "t3/t4" but they are not all the same.
