First test run with the turbocharger installed. It's a Garrett turbocharger off a 7.3 PowerStroke Ford Van.
Engine is a bone stock '96 EFI 460 Big Block.
Turbocharger is remote mounted just under the stacks. 3" exhaust engine back to the turbo, 3" "up pipe" from the turbo into the stacks. 2" pipe to supply boost to the front mount intercooler, from which it goes into 3" for the MAF.
Stainless steel oil lines to and from the turbo. Oil return is done by a 12v gear pump, and is pumped right into the passenger side side valve cover. Oil is supplied by port on filter housing.
Stock EFI system was converted to MAF and sequential injection with a '95 F-150 California 5.0 V8 computer. It will be tuned with a moates quarterhorse. 36 lb/hr injectors were installed as well.
Power is being sent through a stock E4OD automatic with a TransGo Shift-Kit.
