Turbo Project- Posting throughout the entire build

**Loftus1995** · 02-01-2015

I have more photos yet can't add them any ideas? Ive seen threads with more than two photos haha.

I am putting a Turbo into my 2000 Grand Prix, it was my first car and is in pretty rough shape. I hope to get it to an 11 second car if possible, watch the pictures as I attempt to get there.

~~Mods going into the car~~
Stattama T67 Turbo kit
E85 Fuel Pump
65# Fuel Injectors
15# Bottle of Nitrous, proton plus shots going from 35-250hp. (possible)

Still deciding on other modifications and best way to do them which are mostly the heads, springs, timing chain etc.

hope you got some bucks for a trans if you want to go 11s on turbo e85 and bottle........

**Loftus1995** · 02-01-2015

Yes I plan to get a trans built as well. This isn't going to be a cheap hobby found that out even after buying a pillar and gauges haha.

I always use a photo sharing website to link the "direct" link of the picture to here.

**Loftus1995** · 02-01-2015

Just put links up instead? I used the "Insert Image" Button but only allowed me to have two photos. Ill just do the direct button.

Like from photobucket, paste the URL.

I've never linked photo's from the computer itself.

Ru gunna run a wet kit or dry ? and I would go bigger than 65lb injectors

**Loftus1995** · 02-04-2015

Its a wet kit, I got the injectors with a kit I bought with the turbo so it wasn't to bad, if they dont perform high enough I will upgrade to the 80#s

If it's wet the injector size should be adequate, your biggest obstacle is f the pressure drop while using the nitrous off the fuel rail. Upgrade your pump to something adequate for boost and nitrous

**Loftus1995** · 02-04-2015

The aem e85 fuel pump you think wont be big enough? ??

**91parkave** · 02-04-2015

That's 320lph i would test it out on boost, install a fuel pressure gauge and check for drop off at wot. start off on n20 with a small 50 shot. And go up till you see your fuel pressure drops

I run a 450 walbro in stock canister. Maybe that's something you can look into

**Loftus1995** · 02-04-2015

Thanks ill look into it! Hopefully I can get most of this done soon. The track opens in May and I would like to have it fully tuned before that, I highly doubt it but the chances are there.

**1999black3800** · 02-05-2015

There's actually a thread on how to make a 450lph pump work In stock canister that snowflake made. That's what I'm running and its a stout setup.

Ok I have gotten a little ways just haven't gotten far enough for an actual update. I do have a few questions for you guys though
I went with the ST5 cam and it says on the ZZP website with recommended things, one is the lifters. Should I go with the OER lifters or LS7? If you could please kind of back it up. With the lifters being upgraded should i upgrade the rockers as well? They say stock or 1.6 would be the best, if I can get the same performance on stock I won't spend the extra money.
Also on their website they recommend titanium retainers yet they only sell steel, does SummitRacing sell the retainers, are they specific to the engine or just piston size?
