hat1324 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Im putting a 302/TKO(or built T5) into the Z. The motor itself I havent all decided the setup(as it changes constantly). Im thinking AFR's or somthing similar. either stock forged or new bottom end stock or turbo cam( i hear stock is pretty good anyway) im wanting 500hp wheels on pump gas. Maybe more on alch/RF anyway, my questions.. 1. Carb or Efi? Carb is easy to swap, but I have no Idea how to set it up with FPR(although I could figure it out). And EFI would be a bitch to install.(especially with the block I have being carb allready), but super easy to tune. 2. What turbo(s)? Twins looks cool but I want it to clear the steering column(thinking crosover tube). I know it seams vauge, but this is really all im stuck on..

GrayZee Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I don't know anything about turbo'ing a V8 but I think everyone is gonna tell you that for a turbo application, fuel injection is the way to go. If you want a carb, go with a supercharger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsCoupe Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Well, there are many ways to boost. Some cars make it easier than others. Such as honda's. Their windows come right out of the door jam making it very easy to get inside. Then all there is left to do is to pop the ignition and get going...lol j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman47 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Im going carb`d single turbo, Efi cost to much to buil past 400 hp. You need 565 hp at the crank to get 500 at the wheels. Im using a paxton style box that encloses the carb and using an 850 double pumper, with annular boosters. I would say if you went efi You would need to rebuild whole engine to forged steel to have a reliable 500 rwhp car=1900$. Then a tfs or edelbrock upper and lowr intake=5-600$. Then change thottle bodie and sensors and fuel rail and injectors about another 800$. A good data logger and tuner or chip 600$. Turbo-plenum 500$ Then afr heads another 1600$. And there You have it the parts only total of your ride. Then you need to get it dyno tuned by a shop 5-800$ for computer mapping and dyno whips. Installation of all this unless you really know efi[i mean really know it] 400-1000$. A grand total of about=6560 And i was being generous EFI once its setup is cool if your good with engine curves and laptops and usb cables, And a great chip mapping place. All stock sensors will not except 500 hp no matter what and unless mapping is perfect you will never get that much power out of an efi. Also beware if you lean it out on a turbo engine you will not might burn a hole in your piston,So usually you want the shop to install or bring on tow truck to where ever youinstall because stock chip mapping will kill your engine right away. My setup Full forged bottom End 383ci woindsor stroker 1900$. New block and machine work 500$. 850 double pumper and victor jr intake650$. Carbwork and turbo housing 450. carb tuning 200$ pro aluminum heads [2.05/1.60 210cc] 780$= 4030 but im getting a dyno`d 740 hp to the flywheel. and I was adding every cent i could here. Carb is good if you know a good carb shop once its dialed in thats it. But hey thats just me. Im sure someone will prove me wrong with a personal story of some sort but im just telling you through the "What can go wrong will" method of which i learned through tough breaks that in the high hp world always happens. Runnin a 300 hp turbo engine lean and a 560 hp motor lean are two differant animals. One is a daily driver the other is the hotest car around a 150 square mile radius.

hat1324 Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 my pricing is a bit different, as mine is a 302. Im going to use a blowthrough 750 with a FPR of sorts. Afr 165 - 195. What size turbo are you ging with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman47 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I pulled the a brand new 7.3 liter powerstrokes turbo and going to use it they boost 30 psi stock. Also the efi 302 compared to carbed is the same ratio price as the 351 efi vs carb. How are you going to setup the blow through on the carb.
