71 Duster 360 turbo build
Manifold, injector wiring, and fuel lines are finished. Installed a second fuel pump, and waiting on a fuse block to finish wiring them. Then I can test for leaks and injector function. Once that’s complete I just need to bolt the manifold down and fire it up(I hope!). Oh, also need to figure out a throttle cable solution.
I did need to buy the $100 Speedmaster TPS sensor. The GM sensor just wasn’t going to cut it.
Engine is back from the machine shop. Forgot to have them install cam bearings so I’ll be doing that for the first time(using the rustyratrod’s write up). ARP head bolts are “supposed” to ship this week. If they don’t I’m going to cancel and buy the Speedmaster studs. Not my first choice, but the LS guys have had luck with them.
Decided to stay with the GT45 for the time being. With our last drag strip closing at the end of the year I need to look beyond drag racing, and this turbo will already provide more power than is usable on the street…for now.
