turbo talk
i have some questions if anyone can help. i am thinking about some low mount twins and have done this type of set up on a g8.
Is there an easy place to get pressurized oil on this engine?
an alternative to oil is the comp oil less turbos which need water but not oil. i have never used one of these turbos but it looks like water would be easier to get and then no return oil pump would be required. does anyone have any experience with these turbos. i have always used precision turbos and was thinking about a pair of 6266's and have no idea what a similar comp turbo would be or what it would cost. is it just coolant that runs to the heat exchanger on the side of the oil pan? any reason why you couldn't splice into this line for some water flow to the turbos?
i will be running 100% on e85 and hope to push it over 1000hp some day. this will likely mean a 2nd set of port injectors and a drop in compression will likely happen before it is cranked up. do people still run intercoolers? a few years back it was all the rage to not put them on or even remove them. we ran cars with them and without them and had success either way. if anyone has any links to some before and after type of testing i would love to read up on it.
agp posted in another thread they hope to have a kit in a few months. it is my experience most companys do not come close to meeting their own stated timeline. does anyone know about agp? is it likely they will really have a kit in a few months? i have very little patience but if someone is going to have a kit out this winter i would rather wait and buy that than make my own set up.
