Default RE: Help with TURBO's

I havea NIB 750 DP but it needs to be retrofit for boost (myself or send it off, where?). Will a MSD 6 AL do the engine or do I need something else? I want rev limiting for sure. Also, on a boosted engine is it better to cut the fuel at the limit or loose the spark? Does someone make the tank? The last one I sumped myself but would just as soon buy one already done. Thanks

I bought a new tank beacuse nobody would weld a tank with fumes, so i bought a new tank and Competition Engineering sump(that now leaks at their bung).The top has the bypass(from pump) a vent and a extra in case i needed to run a return line.

I can sump one for you if you want a stock one. I do like the look of it, because you can see everything. But making if you can install a fuel cell yourself, it'll be cheaper.
This is how we do it, so you really don't need foam.

Ours isn't centered on the tank, but it is centered on the car from behind

Not normally how we mount the system. But he figured if he was spending this much, spend the extra to get the polished A1000, and hang it low enough for everyone to see.

There may be other fuel pumps. I tried an EFI holley pump by flow ratings should have been good to 632hp, it wasn't good for even 500hp. So rather than throw away more money trying to find a different pump, I went with tried and true.

Oh, drop spark on the rev limiter.

I would think that if you use a strut style(RRS or similar) front suspension that you could notch the shock towers enough to run custom headers, plumbing, and two turbos. btw arent the roush 200 heads the cast iron pieces made by world products? if you arent going for a stocker look, if you are the rear mounted turbos are a good idea too, but if not why not some bigger pieces for the forced induction like afr's or vic jrs. also if your going to go this route maybe an efi system like accel dfi or similar. anyways just some thoughts good luck on the project.

aw man.. now you guys got me on the idea of turbos again.. but i was thinking of pulling a couple off of an old diesel, rebuilding and adding a fuel cell, i think would be cheaper than the 2500 that you guys have said before.. maybe im just a dumb white boy[8D]

Hey Iskwezm, I just noticed something, are those tires on backwards? Better traction? I haven't set the limit on the "E" (supercharged) because I didn't know which one to cut. I will lookinto the program tomorrow. On the turbos, I will begin the hunt.I see the turbo coupe type listed new, with a buy it now option, but I am notsure these are not china junk knockoffs.

nope, they are correct.[&:]

the only that will help traction is a set of slicks[8D]

This is the only knock off turob you can get worth a damn. At least proven anyways. Some come apart at or over 100k rpm. For a remote mount, the AR is a little big for what you want, but would certainly work.
