[TATERNATOR]

actually my 118s are very streetable now and they are high impedence the days of needing driver boxes are gone



to be honest 60s work for majority of ppl, however if you can find 80s then id use those as those will be all youll need for awhile, now if you run the corn juice then youll need larger

where can I find these 118's?

[CHEVROLADE]

so heres a list so far
sound about right?
turbo-1500.00
injectors-900.00
tial Bov-300.00
fuel pumps?
intercooler/pipes etc and other things leave it to Np

i paid less then that for my injectors


to taternator, go to FIC injectors
hes a sponsor on ls1tech or just google his name and his site comes up

Very informative thread. I guess there is a lot to going turbo. Good luck Zach.

[CHEVROLADE]

yea appreciate the help and info everyone...another note when i do this im gonna request a manifold where i dont have to mess with the coils or plug wires

This thread is heating up.

yea appreciate the help and info everyone...another note when i do this im gonna request a manifold where i dont have to mess with the coils or plug wires

then you need a log type manifold

[CHEVROLADE]

then you need a log type manifold

Yea i seen Allen and Ray making 1,,one time.

some info i found,funny thing is i hated school ,that i dropped out Jr year...but now im researching this lol

What is good for a turbocharger?The turbocharger is designed such that it will usually last as long as the engine. It does not require any special maintenance; and inspection is limited to a few periodic checks.

To ensure that the turbocharger's lifetime corresponds to that of the engine, the following engine manufacturer's service instructions must be strictly observed:

Oil change intervals
Oil filter system maintenance
Oil pressure control
Air filter system maintenance
What is bad for a turbocharger?90 % of all turbocharger failures are due to the following causes:

Penetration of foreign bodies into the turbine or the compressor
Dirt in the oil
Inadequate oil supply (oil pressure/filter system)
High exhaust gas temperatures (ignition system/injection system)
These failures can be avoided by regular maintenance. When maintaining the air filter system, for example, care should be taken that no tramp material gets into the turbocharger.

Failure diagnosisIf the engine does not operate properly, one should not assume that the turbocharger is the cause of failure. It often happens that fully functioning turbochargers are replaced even though the failure does not lie here, but with the engine.

Before looking for faults in the turbocharger, the following points should be checked:

Power loss or black smoke:Is the air filter dirty?
Is the engine compression too low?
Is the injection system operating correctly?
Blue smoke:Is the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system operating correctly?
Are the compression ratios correct?
Are the spark plugs in good condition?
Is the oil drain free?
Only after all these points have been checked should one check the turbocharger for faults. Since the turbocharger components are manufactured on high-precision machines to close tolerances and the wheels rotate up to 300,000 rpm, turbochargers should be inspected by qualified specialists only.
