Well I started my build on the truck , all that has been done so far is the prep work for the engine removal. I am bringing the engine to school and rebuilding the entire thing, having 2 jobs I can easily fund this now and well I have something nasty up my sleeve but don't know to much about the subject.

I am going to be building the engine to have a low CR because when it goes back into the truck it will be a twin turbo 360, I have already made phone calls as to where I can get some fab work done for reverse headers, tubing and all that good stuff.

The part I need help on is what sized turbos should I get, I want something that will spool fast in the beginning so I can get off the line better , I am guessing I would want to keep it smaller for that reason.

Any suggestions would be awesome.

Also I know how to rebuild an engine, I know what parts to buy for the engine, but I know nothing of forced induction (well I know the basics but thats it).

 

Ok, now besides the Turbos, piping, wastegates ect, you need something that will control timing and fuel. A lot of people run an MSD-6AL with the add on BTM to retard timing, and an FMU to control fuel to larger injectors.

I run a FTC-1E from Split Second (www.splitsec.com) It is laptop programmable and allows you to control timing, AND fuel via map tables setup on the laptop. It's an awesome unit. It also has an available option called ESC that, when in boost, interupts the signal from the factory o2 sensors and sends a signal to the factory computer to make it think it is running 14.7:1 A/F. By doing this, the computer is happy and has no idea you're adding extra fuel, so it won't try to trim it out.

You'll also need a larger fuel pump, or aux pump and a fuel pressure regulator, preferably a rising rate type regulator. You'll also need larger injectors. A lot of people switch the 19#'ers out for 24# injectors from a late model mustang. But depending on how much boost you're planning on running with determine what size injectors to run.

On my setup, I'm running the 8 factory 19# injectors, and then 2 additional 50# injectors right into the intake manifold. In your case I would probably stick with swapping out all 8 factory injectors though.

 

Why don't you just do a big single turbo. One question is this going to be a DD after you'r done?

 

sorry I review an such an old post but I got to this page for a doubt on reverse headers I have... since I just got here excuse me if there is any protocol I am jumpin, I've got no problem if there is any...
ok, doubt is as follows...

What could be the advantage on using long-tube reverse headers on an engine if the engine ain't a turbo? any clue?
