    360 LA 6psi timing map single turbo

    Anyone have a timing map for an LA with a single turbo runing 6psi on 93 pump? I have meth injection to keep the intake charge down and to add some fuel. Have a good timing map rite now, just wondering if anyone has one I can compare with and see if I'm way under advance.

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    Its definitely a different kind of power while off roading. Have yet to have it on any sort of trails...just the sand dunes. But it had more power than my previous hopped up NA 360 before that blew with the turbo lol. Plus now its actually quite enough to where you can talk to the passenger and...

    Throttle body sizing for turbocharged LA

    Fire away! Mine is not perfect..... but I did not blow it up last weekend at the sand dunes...so must be doing something correct! Definitely wire it up to control timing.

    Throttle body sizing for turbocharged LA

    Nice build!!! I went to the junkyard and yanked one off of a Ford 5.0L...think it came from an explorer. Tore it apart, cleaned it, and powder coated it. Works great in my single turbo 360 with MS2

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    Been beating the hell out of it on the roads near my house for a while. Day before I was to leave to Silver Lake sand dunes here in Michigan, on a 1 - 2 shift, it started to make horrible noise.... thought I blew it up. Pulled to the side and got out...no oil, no holes...but god awful mechanical...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    I did not open he gaps. I thought that was the issue....but a pro builder told me it was detonation. Makes sense since I was on 87 and way to advance with high compression Oh I have a waste hate to control the pressure. I was more saying “if” the ease gate were to stick closed. Love the...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    Yeah it was a nice surprise! Was hoping I could re use the block....that sucked when I found it was cracked :( That's exactly what I plan to do...1 PSI pull 1*. Not sure how much I'll run total...maybe 18 to be safe for now. I don't need to make the most power. I have a 74 360 block as well...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    Updates: So I tore the engine down.... Number 2 piston was completely trashed. Skirt was cracked and so was the entire pistone. Definitely from detonation like suggested above. Number 6, 7, 8 had cracks in the ring lands as well. The cylinder wall on number 2 is cracked in 2 spots...block is...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    anything is certainly possible. Guess I will find out once I pull the heads. This engine was probably a 9.5:1 NA engine. I had no detonation (that could be heard). I had it running around 10:1 under full load.... was actually going to tune it out in the sand and slowly pull fuel out. I just...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    I do have meth injection. I was just spraying water though. Not sure what the IAT was. I know as soon as I roll into it, it comes way down with the water. I don’t really have room for intercooler.... May have to make room though. I did end up just running another breather.

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    Looked down intake runners.... found bits of metal balls. Pulled #2 plug, the gap I had is no longer lol. My guess is piston ring land let go. I have a good running 360 from a friend I’ll be picking up. I’ll pull heads and re gap rings, throw in an lms head gasket, arp head studs and arp main...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    I am running a megasquirt ms2 with 3.0 board. Just fuel control for now. Bought the Edelbrock Efi intake with their rails. Runs amazing and I run a wide and O2. Injectors are I believe 24 lbs. from 07 era f150 with the 5.4. I know this will need to be changed. Made a dash for the Jeep that...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    Thanks dusted. I spent a long time figuring how I wanted to do the merge. I am very happy with how it turned out. 67dart, it will not be as hot. I can guarantee that. The turbo will most likely get a blanket. Those block huggers headers were a huge heat source. In time I will see if I can...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    I greatly appreciate everyone's help. Here is what I put together: The factory manifolds fit PERFECTLY! I cut out some exhaust flanges that mate to the manifolds. There is no room for an intercooler.....so I installed a meth injection system. I do not look to use it for more power, just to...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    I just decided on stock manifolds. I have a t4 flange turbo. It will be low boost till I can build another engine for more boost...or till this one blows up HAHA! I spend a lot of time in the throttle while offroading.

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    A rear mounted turbo system would not work. My jeep gets used and abused in mud, rock, sand and water crossings. The headers I have are block huggers by Summitracing. They just bake the underhood stuff. I can't even touch the hood or brake booster. I think i'll just order a set of these...

    360 LA turbo exhaust question

    Morning, I'm currently putting a turbo on my 360 LA that is in my 88 Jeep Wrangler. The engine always had block huggers that I hated! They cause high under hood temps while out in the sand and on the trails. Plus, they always leak and crack. So, I would like to keep it simple and run stock...
