Pricing Together Parts for my 87 N/A single turbo setup
Want to keep stock engine internals, do I have to upgrade injectors or is that the only way to get above a certain HP
I'm planning on dropping a new fuel filter on my clogged sock but I figure I'll put a whole new pump in altogether to support turbo work later on, Do I need dual fuel pumps or regulators or one simple pump.

So far I have this

Turbo (t-78 looking for about 400whp and this sounds like the clear choice + i think i'll like turbo lag surprise =) )
Intercooler - I need to know differences among them and who makes the best, I would assume a front mount.
Do I need ignition, spark plugs, ( i just put new ones in 2 weeks ago for 68k mile tune-up), injectors?
Also will I have to upgrade my cooling system like my radiator or just flush it and I use 10w-30 mobil1, is redline better than mobil1 that anybody can vouch for? And would running 20w-50 slow my engine down or just make it not start in winters it will never run in?

Also I'm looking for the top manufacturers in all these markets, I am very big on quality, this is my fun car and my project-spare little/no expense.

 

anybody?

 

I'm sure you can find blogs and mod lists on tons of cars on this board. ANYONE with a bigger turbo has at least the following: Bigger injectors, a stand alone ECU, upgraded fuel pump, some sort of large inter-cooler, upgraded oil lines, an exhaust system, intake, and some sort of ignition booster.

But with a turbo like the T-78 mentioned above, you'll need to start looking into tires, suspention, water/alcohol injection, a LARGE wastegate

Search the boards a little more, try to see how others have upgraded in stages. That may help.

I run 20-50 with no problem, but i live in the desert!

 

With that compression and turbo you're going to want to atleast goto a bur9 heat range if not colder depending on boost levels.

As long as you're not autoX, or track I'd would go with a front mount. You're going to want a bigger radiator, more power; more heat; bigger tax on the cooling system.

You will need bigger injectors for anything over 4psi I would imagine, to run any amount of boost you're going to need larger injectors hands down.

You're only going to need 1 pump, if you get a large unit, like an aermotive unit, or bosch unit etc.

If you're going to run a smaller pump, like a walbro, I'd use two.

Ron Davis makes really nice Intercooler cores, one of the best IMO.

 

are ur upgrading the drivetrain at all...thats an awfully big turbo and hp number to be running on the stock half/drive shafts on an N/A at least...better not launch very hard...

 

probably won't launch hard very often.

Whats better, two small pumps or one big one? Do I need to upgrade fuel lines?

Will changing injectors before I get the turbo make any difference in performance or even harm fuel guzzling
