I don't see any heat wrap or blanket. Are you not concerned with the heat from turbo and hot side?
Do you have a max boost psi expectation or just HP numbers?
I'm curious how much boost and HP your factory pump will be able to support.
I have a blanket for the turbo and some heat shield for the a/c line just have not got that far yet. I only looking for 450 to 500 hp I think probably around 7 psi. I am really worried about my transmission so not going to push things to hard. Its a flex fuel pump so I am hoping it will be enough to reach my goals.
It'll be interesting what your tuner comes up with. I guess those flex pumps can support more than the non-flex pumps and E85 would give you some more hp.
Yeah, probably start looking/saving for a 80 swap or a really good build on your current trans.
Everyone says once you get a feel for a little boost you'll be doubling your original boost :-).
Haha....no luck. It's priced pretty good, but nothing. As soon as I buy a truck I'll get the rest of the parts and order a kit from Trick or Spike or KB. A lot of great feedback on all kits. I don't like the WG mounted underneath the truck in the crossover pipe and Mario from Spike said he could make the kit with a top mounted WG.
You thought about splicing water lines and extended them to run under the coolant res out of the way and out of sight.
I also put a breather on the passenger side head vac line and put a one way check valve on the drivers side one going from intake to back of the head to keep the boost out of their not sure if you intend on doing that?
I would not waste my time with a 60e. Get a god 80e or th400 works to but not recommended for a daily driver no overdrive.
Nice job man. Keep on it. I think you'll need more that 7psi for 450. Mines at 12 psi and I made just under 500 wheel. I think 8 psi made like 420ish on my truck.
The a/c lines kicked my butt. so here is what I did hope it helps the next guy. they actually move a considerable amount.
first pic they are in factory location. The high and low side are at the same height above the battery tray.
next is a picture of the line next to the accumulator it needs to be moved toward the pass fender and down. also need to move the small (high side I think) up there is a small clip holding to the body. this will alow the large line to go under the battery tray.
you also need to move the line down at the compressor toward the firewall and down this will give you slack in the line to get away from the wastegate recirculation pipe. The only thing I need to change is the line is resting on the body I will need to tweek a little more to get some clearance there.
I have a solid 2" between the turbo and the a/c line and at least an inch between the piping and the a/c line.
