Finally went and picked up my kit from Rick@ Trick.
Turbo is a t-6 Borg Warner s480 w/ a 1.10 AR. 5 inch downpipe, A/W intercooler, all tig welded. 50 mm wastegate IIRC and a 60mm blowoff. -4 feed and a -12 return. Who needs intercooler piping....


Rick did absolutely everything I asked him to do in the kit to a T.

After I poped the 4.8, I ended up with Wilde forged 370, specs are

370 Long block

*Callies Rods
*Wiseco -3.2cc 2618 Pistons
*Plasma top ring
*Tapperd wall wrised pins (300 dollar upgrade alone)

*Patriot dual gold springs with ti retainers
*Clevite "H" main and rod bearings

Im also on a stock 80 with a PI 3500 triple disc


I hope to install it soon, I really just Need to figure out what to do with a fuel pump, I would like to stay returnless if possible. But I have no clue whatsover on what pump would work correctly. I really need input for the fuel pump. Perhaps I need to drill the stock tank and make it return? Im quite lost, I have 60 lb injectors and a 220 psi meth pump for fuel.

My hopes are for 800+ RWHP on 15+ psi, at least once lol.

 

What material is that manifold? I would do a search on the fuel pump issue. I lurk a lot around here and it seems everyone in that power range converts to a return system and runs dual walbro pumps.

 

damn, that looks like its gonna be a killer setup. take lots of pics along the way lol

 

stock up on tires sounds like it'll be a lot of fun.

 

manifold is 40 gauge steel, bumps up to 3 inch.


Yeah not many high horse return guys, unless ive just missed well documented swaps.

And pics will be scarce until i get a camera, its a PITA to get them off the dam blackberry

 

atleast get a good vid when ur done, good luck with the build

 

nice!!!

 

SuperSub hit his HP mark (above 600) using a flex fuel pump. If you are dropping the tank to add a pump then you can address the return line...

 

Looks Nice Thats a good turbo Should make some nice #'s As for the pics, your PB account as an email address you can email the pics from your Blackberry to and it will put them directly into you PB account. That's what I do with my iPhone. Check it out.
