HAHA the turbo project is back in full swing!
Well after getting some things squared away with the car, the build, and just life in general I've decided to resurect the turbo project. Here's where I'm at. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The engine in question is a 455 .030 over the the 455 "N" crank, forged rods and pistons (flat top at 0 deck). I will be acquiring a set of 4x casting heads with the 114cc chambers. This should put compression on a 462 at just over 8:1.
I will be utilizing the currendt edelbrock P4b intake that is on the engine. A set of custom built manifolds will hold a 40mm wastegate and either a T04b Vtrim or 60-1 on each manifold. an air.air intercooler will be utilized to cool the air charge.
An 850cfm holley dp modified for blow through will supply the fuel. I would like to remain using a mechanical pump in this setup but dependant on fuel requirements I may jump to an a1000 pump and a fuel cell.
As far as pressurizing the carb this is where I need some help. From my understanding carb tuning becomes much easier when there is no pressure difference from the inside to the outside of the car. This would mean building a carb box that enclosues the entire unit. However would feeding fuel from outside the carb box to with in cause problems? Should I just be looking at a normal carb hat?
Exhaust will be custom bent 3.5" downpipes into stock location 3" magnaflow exhuast with x pipe.
I'm shooting for 600-650rwhp on pump gas with this setup.
anything that I'm missing here? suggestions would be great. thanks.
