should i go all the way with my turbo engine i'm building? it's going to be built right with full stud kit and everything else to make it strong. i'm just not sure of puting bigger injectors and haltech ecu in it. reason being that the few grand it will cost for them i could get a tough 351 built to go in an xd falcon. now don't start flaming me, i like the 351 and xd's. a guy i work with said he could build me one for $3000 with 302 rods, levelled block with about 12:1 compression pushing out 400-500hp with OVER 800ft/lbs of torque that will absolutely eat an SS.
Its your money, you do what ever you want with it.
Just remember that the V8 will be a pain to drive with that compression.
as airstrike's sig says... "I'D RATHER ROAR THAN WISTLE" couldnt have said it better!!
Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!
Id be thinking about a big intercooler, remembering that there needs to be a low pressure area behind it to attract air to flow thru it
Well then I say go for it!
thats what i'm thinking. how much power can you get with standard turbo injectors and ecu?
It's something up towards 200 as far as I know??
Maybe not with that turbo though.
Edit: Thats a stock t03, what turbo will you be running?
Because I'm fairly sure stock injectors max out around 200?
i'm thinking of a T04. if i run bigger injectors i have to run an aftermarket ecu don't i?
In short, yes you do.
