auto_x5.0 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 What compression would be good to use with e85 and pump gas, it will be a turbo 357w that I have.Also will a turbo from a 2001 Ford 7.3 PS be worth anything for a cheap junkyard build or should I get a holset from a Cummins. If you guys need any other answers let me know. I know everything about the motor, I just don't want to clutter up a post with a bunch of nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsblown93 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 i know a guy that is running a boosted 96 cobra at like 11:1 on E85 it may even be a little more i cant remember. but its at like 15psi also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01yellercobra Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 If there's a chance you'll be running pump gas I would keep it around 9:1. Make up the power with timing and boost when you're running E85. For the turbo you'd have to find out the specs and see if it'll work for your set up.

auto_x5.0 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 On low boost you think some 42#'ers and a good tune would cover it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01yellercobra Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 No. Go with at least 80's since you're planning on E85. You might need more depending on your power goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis@OrtizPerformance Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 42s will barely be enough for the turbo let alone e85. You need 80s at the bare minimum. As for the turbo goes, just get a 100 dollar T70 GT35 turbo from ebay. They are alright and makes good power. I had 2 of them in 2 different set ups and they were great but you will want to upgrade later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Actually go for the gt45.. Contact vsracing .. 325 shipped if I remember correctly, and they are good for about 600+.. Perfect for a small block, that's what I will be basing my future kits off of..Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auto_x5.0 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Would a gt45 be to big though, I really don't care about instant boost a little lag is fine. But I would like to have boost before 3500rpm or at least close to full boost by then. Should I just do 60# injectors and call it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01yellercobra Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Do the 80's and be done. More room then the 60's and just as easy to tune as 39's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musturd Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yea do 80's you'll max out 60's easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auto_x5.0 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Any specific brand to look for? Used, new, reman'ed, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01yellercobra Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 FRPP and Seimens Deka are the same. Mine are labeled SD. I had an easier time tuning these at part throttle then I did the 39's I was running. I think another company worth looking into is R/C Dynamics. Or something like that. Their injectors are good from what I've heard, but they're $$$.Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
