Hey yall so my pulling season is over and i would like to build a Turboed 408 strocker. Anyone seen one? likes dislikes? Im only going to run about 5-7lbs of boost.

 

i know a guy on dakota forum is building a turbo for a 5.2 , im not really sure man

 

Well, a guy did just get his 408 Dakota up and running with a remote turbo setup, at 10PSI he's putting down 537hp and 606fl/lbs, that's with a manual transmission though.

Go for it!

 

heyy lastrights ya think you could set me up with that link to the turbo 5.2 in that dakota?

 

Hahns5.2 has a set up that he is working on been following it on another forum I think. He used a cummins diesel turbo and made like the sts system.

 

Indeed! https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...rbo-build.html

 

Thanks guys. Yeah im going to be doing a remote set up but have not decided on size of turbo yet. Now what pound injectors you running and will my factory fuel pump keep up?

 

Currently stock (24lb) injectors, I obviously run out of fuel in high RPMs with boost, 4-5PSI at 3000RPM is like 80% duty cycle lol. I will be going to 42lb injectors when funds allow. If you run some kind of FMU setup that boosts fuel pressure, the stock injectors will support a lot.

I really don't know about the stock fuel pump, a lot of guys use a Walbro 255, not an option for my truck though. I'm thinking it'll be fine for my modest 300rwhp goal.

Here's a link to the 408 remote turbo build.

Pump size & injector size will be based on final rwhp.
408na (low compression) vary, 280-400rw roughly
Factor in the boost as well & that will give 35-50% gain ontop so roughly 380-600rw
Factory pump, will barely keep up with to the bare bones built 408 & boost, stronger built 408 though will be well beyond it.
Walboro 250lph would be the minimum pump needed, some will go to A1000 Aeromotive pump or similar.
Injectors could range from 30-60lbs depending on final rwhp.

 

i wana do a remote turbo on my truck sooo bad but i heard its bad on the magnum motors bottom end?
