DaveFromColorado Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 ... keep the boost low, and intercool it, and it should last for a long time... --Dave. Quote

DaveFromColorado Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 I'd try to keep it down, unless you're upgrading everything, computer, injectors and all. I'd run the wastegate directly to a vacuum source on the manifold so it'll stay wide open come 6ish lbs of boost. I know stock boost is somewhere between 7.5lbs and 8.5lbs, I can't remember which. --Dave. Quote

DaveFromColorado Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 Yes, injectors too - I believe they are higher flowing then the stock 3.1 - also the fuel pressure regulator is different (lookin' at part numbers) --Dave. Quote

gp90se Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 TGP injectors at 22#, stock 3.1 are 19# what vehical is this going into, I know the turbo mount on the tranny wont clear in older N bodys Quote

DaveFromColorado Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 humm.. I wonder if that'd all fit in the J-body - if there's trouble because of the mounting in the N body's it may be dificult. I think the two share the same trans mount towards the top. I know the J-bodies have that crappy mount there tho. --Dave Quote
Vegeta Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 stock 3.1 injectors are 16.6# Quote
R Dubya Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 you're going to need the fuel pump too.. those injectors won't do any good if they can't get enough fuel Quote
LarryMartin830 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Report Posted September 14, 2004 it will fit theres alot of people that have done it Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 don't forget to take pic's of the whole process - it'd be cool to watch/follow along with. --Dave. Quote
