SIngle turbo install on vx ss

[OFF T4P]

hi. i just got my self a single turbo kit for my ride. every think is included in the kit apart from fuel system. i was just wondering how hard these are to fit as i don't know a great deal about turbos but i m pretty handy on the tools and what not with everything else on cars. is there any diy write ups that any one knows about or diagrams or some think just so i can get a bit more of a idea. i think i will be able to handle it i just want to be sure . any help would be great . thanks

[crew chief]

can use 42lbers but just go straight to 60's

[OFF T4P]

yea what brand are the best

[OFF T4P]

also what size surge tank should i use

[HRT 666]

^^ 5ltr with pump mounted directly under it.
Something like this.

[OFF T4P]

cheers mate . what other fuel components should i get what size regulator and what size pump. w hat brands.

[HRT 666]

Some 60lb injectors and billet fuel rails. I have a set of Wilson fuel rails here s/hand in like new condition only took them off as they wouldnt fit my Harrop 8-t/body manifold.
They for sale at $200. Will add a pic in a sec.

[OFF T4P]

i got billet rail that i bought the other day.

[HRT 666]

Haha what else dont you have then pumps etc?

[OFF T4P]

yea pumps. should i run twin pumps or single and what size and what regulator. the kit is only running a gt35 turbo so its not real big but might up grade later on so i want the fuel system to be able to cop a bit more if need be. where did u get your surge tank from

[HRT 666]

Go with twin 044 pumps mounted like my single.
Got mine done through Enhanced automotive here in Adelaide they also do the twin set-up.

[OFF T4P]

cheers for that mate

[HRT 666]

Anytime..Bloke.

044 pumps are not the ideal way to go, they are a noisy over rated pain in the ass and few ppl use them now days. Use twin Walbro external pumps which is what most ppl have realised is the way to go. They are whisper quiet and flow nearly the same as an 044. They are half the price and draw half the current. GSL 392 is the pump you want. Run a Turbosmart FPR1200 and some billet rails. Its a bit tricky setting up extra fuel lines and fittings but well worth the effort.

[OFF T4P]

yea thanks for that mate i just got a 4lt surge tank with 044 brackets hopefully the walbro ones will fit. Yea i think i might get my tuner to set up the fuel system i might mount it all but he can hook it up.

[OFF T4P]

do i have to take the motor out or can i leave it in to fit this kit. also i was thinking about feeding the oil back in through the timing cover some one said some think about a bung the that can be taken out and used for the oil feed is this true.

[Solid8]

I thought your kit would have come with instructions? My kits come with full installation instructions with photos and detailed descriptions. Took me a while to put the document together but it is much easier for those who want to do the install themselves.

[OFF T4P]

yea it probably did when old mate first got it but he might have lost it. i got it off him brand new never installed with a couple little things missing so yea did you take your donk out.

[nate-vy]

walbro pumps can also be noisy mate ive ran two of them and they both whine ... first one more than the second

[OFF T4P]

yea i dont care to much about the nosie of pumps turbo whine should cancel them out lol

[OFF T4P]

twin 3" or single 3.5" exhaust what do use think would sound best and flow best for this set up for this set up

[OFF T4P]

under car or boot mounted fuel system? which is better
