Am I thinking right?

driven to build · 12-18-2005, 11:37 AM

Looking for help on if I am upgrading properly for the PTS turbo kit. So far I have in mind for this...

75# injectors
dual 255 fuel pumps
SCT BA 2800
PI 2600 stall converter
Patriot stage II ported heads with comp turbo cams
SCT XcalII
Built block
C&L intake plenum
Phenolic spacer
7QT Moroso oil pan with ford svt high volume oil pump
Snow meth kit

Some questions are...

Do I need to upgrade fuel rails?
How about fuel lines?
What type of spark plugs?
Anything else I should be thinking about?

Dan, I dont know how reliable the stock lines and stuff will be at the amount of power you can be at. I did run them on mine on the dyno to 738rwhp but when I got ready to go bigger, I decided to replace all that stuff. In fact, I am fairly certain if I had 'more' injector then, I could have made more power. Rails, lines, etc become suspect.

I'm planning on running TR6s with my new build up. Its not going to see pump gas though.

I was just under a Gen 2 helping install a new converter. I can't believe you guys make that kind of power on those tiny lines!!

Yeah I'd like to upgrade those lines... but WOW... the price of the JDM fuel upgrade is quite insane. I wonder if I could build my own cheaper.

I foget what JDM wanted wasn't it like $1000.00 for just the lines and fittings?

I'm gonna build my own. Instead of running two -6 lines to the filter and 1!!! -6 to the rails, I'm gonna run a pair of -6 lines all the way.

Im staying with the stock fuel lines now on my truck. But Im not going to have a built motor. Im also staying with the tried and true TR6s

I would guess youll need to upgrade the trans depending on how much power your planning to go up to.

driven to build · 12-19-2005, 03:00 PM

Yep figured I would too but trying to finish the engine parts first then handle the trans with a local shop.

colder plugs are better as far as turbos are concerned... my altima sees about 20 psi of boost, and I run 4 step colder plugs. stock is 5's I run 9's (NGK's of course).

FMOS Racing · 12-20-2005, 05:37 AM

I run (heat range) 7s in my SB, 8s or 10s in my BB.

I now have 6s in mine. Would it be a good idea for me to go to 7s?

I run 100 octane in the front tank and 94 octane in the rear, with the dual pump trick.
