Vallo!.. thanks mate. im hanging to just drive the thing. 10's with the 318 is the goal before the program is stepped up. This thing is a streeter so dont wanna go too overboard lol Thanks!.. im not overly familiar with the ms3x. From what i have read it is very similar with only a few less...

Hi guys, havnt been on here for ages! My current project is 95% complete hoping to hit the key around Christmas. It's a 1969 VF valiant regal station wagon. Factory v8, so it's actually quite rare. 320" small block, standard bottom end for now, 1008 gaskets, studs. Ported j's with...

Haha Yeh it'll make alot more sense once your actually looking at it. I was confused when I first started too.. Just leave the top fitting open if you don't plan to use it.. Did you get any lighter springs with the wastegate? I always like to start low (in boost and timing) and slowly creep up...

Sounds awesome mate, keen to hear the results! Wastegates work best when you have the closest Possible springs to your desired boost level fitted. But remember you can't run less boost then what springs are in there. Your boost reference gets fitted to the barb on the side, so when the boost...

Great work on the headers mate!.. they turned out great. What issues are you having with the msd, bov and wastegate? Id just trigger the launch control with a separate switch mounted somewhere running through a relay, only problem I can see running it along side the roll control is the...

I'd leave it and see where it takes you, after all, it's already fitted and ready to go.. Your setup shouldn't have much trouble pushing you into 130-140mph territory.

Yeh you could do that also, but can still run the risk of the 2nd pump failing and starving under boost. Not a big chance of it happening.. But it can. Your rear gear is fine, I wouldn't change it. I'm running 275/60 et streets, glide, and 3.0:1 rear gear 9" to start. I have a few gear sets...

Ah cool well your pretty much sorted.. But yeh definately go with the 1/2" return. I reckon you would max out a 044 with what you are building. I'm also a fan of single pump setups.. Rather then have one pump fail and run the engine lean. I like the a1000 pumps for the performance and value...

Basically with a blow through turbo setup you need to run a high pressure efi pump, and an appropriate regulator and return to get the pressure low enough. I usually run 4psi pressure at idle Your reg should be boost referenced and will increase fuel pressure at a 1:1 ratio with boost. Because...

Haha yep, it's changed a fair bit. Now packing a powerglide too

So you ended up going the s475? What flange and a/r? It'll really make it get up and go.. Regarding fuel return, if going blow through you will need 1/2" minimum or you won't be able to get the pressure low enough, speaking from experience. I've had some experience with the 6530.. Shoot me...

Yeh it will see plenty of track time. Prob 90/10 race/streetcar. Wether it will get close to 1500 I don't know, but at least it'll be strong enough. I'm only planning to run in the 9's this year sometime, if it goes faster then I'll be stoked

On a side note I really like your ute.. Nice work! The s475 is a 75mm turbo from memory? (Compressor inducer size) In my opinion anything over 360ci can really benefit from at least a 80mm turbo, T6 in the 1.00 range. Of course the s475 will work and make plenty of power, and will definately...

For a 400+ ci engine id definately run a T6 rear housing of some sort. Something around the .96+AR range would work well. The engine will flow a **** tonne of exhaust gas, and remember you are trying to shove it all through a single cast housing (running twins you could get away with smaller T4...

So all gasses need to find their way into #3 and #5 to exit the turbo? I still can't grasp it haha. I'm looking forward to the updates though

I'm confused as to how all cylinders besides #3 and #5 can get their gasses to the turbo? Am I overlooking something here? From what it looks like you will only be feeding the turbo from 2 cylinders and the rest will be fighting each other

Correct, but in a conventional turbo setup each bank merges into a common point and into the turbo.. The way this is setup gas from cylinders 1 and 7 need to make their way into ports 2,4,6 and 8. Which are also trying to get their gas out. All the power to the people doing the work and I...

I agree with this.

So all cylinder from the right bank blow exhaust gas into the front and rear exhaust ports on the left bank.... Where exhaust gas is also trying to get out?? And the turbo is only driven off the 2 centre cylinders on the left bank? Won't that just choke the engine to death like blocking the...

These exact turbos are making around the 550hp at the tyres on LS based engines in the 5-5.3L range.. Would be perfect for a 318
