so...this is one of those kits that makes your car run off of water, right?
How much did it cost, and how hard was it to install?

no it don't make your car run off water.. right now its a 40/60% mix of alcohol/water

the water helps cool the intake charge/motor where as the alcohol helps boost the octane

my mix + 93oct should be close to 113oct

its tuned to come in at 10psi.. this is like a good version of NOS but for a turboed/supercharged car.. runs cooler and produces a lot more power

with the spray im running and mixture.. its good for about 40/50WHP

doesn't effect my fuel mileage since it itself is fuel

basically boost octane/lowers intake and motor temp/allows higher boost

Post Number: 5443

you can make more power out of that diesel.. itll cost you more since youll have to mess with ECU tuning and turbo parts

351s are easy to build and cheaper.. won't have turbo lag but if you know how to brake boost that would not be an issue anyway

but why use a 351 if you want a gas motor? start off with a bigger block, 455 and build that

if this is going to be a daily driver i would probably go the diesel route.. just a car to drive and race i'd build a big block or buy a crate motor

I'd get the 351 cause they are easy to build according to what I've read (besides what you just told me, lol) and there are parts easily available. a 455 would be a bit too much a waste of gas, which is why I asked about the diesel, and yeah it would be a daily driver

once you start modding a motor gas should not be an issue.. even the highly modded hondas don't get great mileage lol

the diesel setup has a bigger potential .. how about a motorswap out of a newer f350.. do some banks turbo equipment and propane injection :-)

if your not too knowledgable and will be doing the work yourself.. stick to a non-boosted car.. in your case the 351.. or better yet a 391 if you can find one and want to stick to a smallblock

chad, thats ok haha :-)

well what I wanted to eventually do is modify the diesel to bio diesel and then turbo charge it. (go green with power). I don't really intend to "build" the actual engine, just add on performance parts to it. if I went with the 351 I would prob leave it uncharged.

doing a diesel swap might be more of a hassle than its worth.. ever consider selling the truck and getting one thats already a diesel?

otherwise i'd stick with your 351 idea

kev after reading and researching, i think SC is the way to go for me. if i had the 4cyl accord then i can get good turbo kits but for v6 its hard. most everyone with a v6 accord is running the comptech SC. i think its the safest way to go. it won't provid alot of boost but i can still get close to 300 at the wheels.

started to put money aside for it. i should have something by christmas. its a big commitment so i have to take my time.

i don't know though kev. i know the turbo will give me better results but i have to get it custom for my car. lots of tuning on the dyno to get it right. but with the SC it basically bolts right on and give me instant power. lol. ok its not that easy but you know what i mean. comptech has superchargers made for my car and comes complete with a kit. so its alot less work.

oh and i can still get a blow off valve for the supercharger.

Damn I didn't even pay $900 for my exhaust..

$100 for my Invidia up-pipe .. $200 COBB 4" downpipe .. $165 3" exhaust all the way back .. $100 for the magnaflow tips

$565 total.. and I've got a lot more to my exhaust :P ... I just snag deals

so a GT35R? You do know that turbo is rated at 640hp right?

if thats what you want go for it.. but on the lighter note of just 300whp.. downsize and you won't need axels/motor build.. unless you plan on running more than 8psi your bottom end should be fine

the radiator and oil cooler is not needed but extra cooling is always a plus

thats if you want to go BIG

that turbo on a legacy pulled 480whp on pump gas and meth.. 540-550whp on race gas.. this is a 2.5L motor

you should see similar gain but to do a GT35R on a n/a car.. its a complete rebuild of the block

it would be worth it but add in your cost of labor and the smaller turbo will be a better option especially since your only seeking 300whp

Chad, that's basically a full engine build on the bottom end. That's going to cost you a lot of money FYI. Oh and it's Pauter rods not "Paulter".

^^ thats what I was saying.. hence the suggestion of a smaller size turbo and running max 8psi

i couldn't run 8psi.. just love the effect of hitting 10psi then meth kicks in and jumps to 23psi.. until i get a bigger intake i can't run any more boost :-(

a full engine build and that turbo would be a dangerous car to mess with for sure.. just lots of monies :-)
