hey man, would you mind sharing all the details of your build? as in what you have into it money wise and parts wise? I have been debating whether to throw spray or a turbo/blower on to my low compression 360 j/y motor



Parts wise, minus the headers,(use magnum manifolds, trust me), I've got about $800 in the hard parts. Almost everything in the build was from ebay lol so I saved alot of cash there. Some will tell you not to waste your time with ebay "junk" but all of my parts worked fine right out of the box. I can't say how long all of it will last but for the money you can just buy better stuff IF the ebay stuff fails IMO. I did have to upgrade my fuel system though and that added some to the final cost. I had a 3/8 line and an old single outlet fuel cell with a holley pump. I upgraded to a new cell, mallory 4309 reg.,a walbro 190lph pump, and a return line back to the tank. If you don't want to cut up your car, definitely go with meth. injection. A front mount intercooler takes up alot of room and all the piping and stuff adds weight. The $350 for a meth. system is better in the long run. The carb was easy to do...just a basic rebuild on a 650 holley. I did drill out my PCVR holes to 3/32 and it's alittle too much but has saved me from going lean. My 02 reads a steady .930-.950 milivolts until the secondaries open. I'm waiting on my jet kit to get here so I can up my secondaries to keep my full throttle from going lean. The cost and the installation cost all comes down to how well you can fabricate. I was somewhat out of my league on that part of it but learned alot and after messing up a few times I got it right. O yeah, definitely build a bracket to hold the turbo. My GT45 is heavy and would have probably already broke some of my questionable welds lol



wow, only 800 bucks? and that includes the fuel system stuff? Im definitely liking that! lol...I do have fabrication ability, and my dad and two friends have both done custom fab procharger setups a couple of times, so that will definitely help...If i could do it all for under 1300 bucks, that would be gravy! but usually stuff costs more than planned...im still just thinking about this. With those magnum manifolds, do they have to run flipped still?

You may be recieving a pm from me in the future to bug you some more, but a few questions for ya. That intercooler fits okay behind the stock grill? does it interfere with the hood latch, or do you have a glass lift off hood? Also, how did you go about choosing the proper sized turbo for your application? and what ebay seller did you buy from?
