Here's some basic info:
Draw through turbo system, no intercooler
Garrett 2560 turbo with carbon seal kit
5 lb boost spring
Weber 32/36 carb
Donaldson fender mounted air filter and intake piping (not shown)
Homemade exhaust manifold (factory manifold cracked)
Homemade intake and exhaust flanges and pipes using commercially available J-bend pipes
O2 sensor to help adjust carb (we may install a Sniper throttle body injection system)
Homemade oil and coolant lines
Brass tube is coolant line for carb heat
Vacuum advance on 24v military distributor
Pertronix 24v electronic ignition
Factory PCV system
Aftermarket EGT and boost gauges
2-1/2" exhaust pipe and muffler. It's very quiet.
We estimate we are getting about 170hp and 300ft/lb out of the engine at 5500ft elevation. It has been extremely reliable and a joy to drive with 4.89 gears. We run it on 85 octane gas with no detonation issues, and no water injection. We should talk if you want more info, there's a lot going on here.
