would u bee willing to sell me ur turbo set up

[mikabrandl]

@sleeperblacking well i would since i have a 350 ready to drop in but the turbo seals are gone and the setup is really not that good, i just slapped it together to see what would happen. Next time i make one i will do it properly

[evilsadvocate]

so this is completely stock computer? that would be nuts if it ran that well and you diddnt modify the stock silly wiring harness. its a cool project and im suprized it runs as nice as it does, but theres SOOOOOO much room for improvement! i think its good the way it is though, to actually upgrade it, that would be new pistons, lots of other internals, bigger injectors, totally different wiring. these 2.8 mpfi's are NOT sequentially injected.

i was suprised also that it ran so well, i though she was dead last year cauz it was sputerring like crazy but i started her up last weekend after the winter and she still runs fine, i tihnk it was the ignition wires.. This was a reall low budget build and amteur as you can see since it is my first, i have a 350 with a holley 4 barrel and 3 speed that ill be working on this summer, should be fun!!!

ever dyno'd?

[mikabrandl]

nop, but needs serious tuning, the MAF sensor stopped working for some reasion so its running way lean.. also should put bigger injecotrs in since nothing has being done to the fuel system ahahha suprised it dindt blow up yet

[justyiskool]

that looks getto as hell

[peepeevagi]

Ahh cheap muscle.

Just goes to show how far one grand will really go.

[sleeperblacking]

@mikabrandl thats ok ill use it as a good starting point sorry its be some time geting up with hope we could still make it work

[bigbryjack75]

@xtreamedium2 the fuel is not vaporised its atomised

[sojer6mile]

[TitanTilton]

im gonna build my 2.8 too. all i have to say is fuck you for having the 5 speed >.< lol i wish i had it.

@trunkbangking Well RICE stands for race inspired cosmetic enhancement (aka no performance upgrade all looks), this has a turbo on it so its far from RICE because it has no bodykit or anything but it has a performance upgrade.

[icemane1]

hmm well it may be something ill look into as i know have an 88 RS with a 3.1 but i could do alot with a 3.1 alot more than a 2.8

[rcjg24]

@icemane1 u get get forged rods and pistons.

@rocker4u123 im in the process of building a 3.4 to go in mine but ima go the procharger route.
