nicolaswaldron Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hey i am planning on buying a awd silverado ss. I want to add a rear mount turbo to it. I also want to:cold air intake, air cooler, oil lines, upgraded fuel pump, 75lbs injectors, trans cooler upgrade, oil return pump, wastegate, turbo, bov, shift kit, corvette servo,a/f ratio guage, boost guage, boost controllerand a full tune. does anyone have a blueprint, diy, or any info on the materials or plans i would need to do this? What parts info, what parts should i get, how to add them, and any other motor or trans upgrades i may need. Also, i want to upgrade to a max of maybe 500 hp. now i understand how awd works, thats not a problem. I also want to be able to pull some weight, like a small 4cyl car or some 4 wheelers. How will this rear mount turbo upgrade affect that. If anyone can, please help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRT10KLLR Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 lol 75 lb injectors . you will need 60's at the most.He meant 75lbs at 4 bar(58 PSI) which is about what 60lb injector are in our trucks since we run 58-60 of fuel pressure.

nicolaswaldron Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 what do yall mean by 3 bar or 4 bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Ford rates their injectors at 39.15 PSI. This quote is from the 2008 Ford Racing Catalog "All injector flow rates are quoted at a delta pressure of 39.15 psi. To convert to a delta pressure of 43.5 psi, multiply flow rate by 1.054." Here is the link showing some Ford Cobra injectors that people call 39lb injectors but they actually flow more at 43.5 PSI: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_...rtKeyField=5941 Also, Dodge rates their injectors at 4 bar(58 PSI) because their fuel systems run at that pressure. You are right though "most" "aftermarket" companies rate their injectors at 3 bar(43.5 PSI). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBlueSS Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 what do yall mean by 3 bar or 4 bar?It's the metric measurement of pressure. 1 bar=14.5 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocoop Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I think you should slow down and start doing a lot of research before you get going any further. OR just buy an STS kit and take your truck to a shop- tell em you want 500hp and let them rip you a new one... If you REALLY want a turbo kit now just buy the STS kit and either put it on yourself or get it put on my professionals, do the regular tranny mods (-search before you ask), and have fun- cause that alone will be fast enough for any normal person. Start slow and plan everything out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
