    You guys rent a dyno for the day? Nice #s for what's probably stupid low boost on a mini motor.

    Love your stuff! I'm doing a 4.8 ebay twin setup in a jeep. What are you doing for crankcase ventilation? Vacuum for brakes?
    Thanks

    Do you get oily smell from the valve cover vents? Just trying to avoid the oil smell. I thought running my valve cover vent tubes to the inlet of the turbos might keep the smell down and create a little crankcase vacuum.

    Let me know what you think.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Been watching sloppy mechs for years. Keep it up:bow:

    With him running an open downpipe out in front of the front tire I can't imagine an oily smell is high on the list of complaints lol.

    If your engine if healthy you won't get any oil smell. Mine only gave me a problem when I hurt two pistons and started getting blow by. IMHO, if I didn't have my valve cover vents open I wouldn't have know when my motor was hurt. The thing still ran fine and just barely had a miss. Anybody else not familiar with car would have never known.

    Denmah,

    Have you had any issues running the stock fpr in the fuel rail? I'm gonna be running a stealth 340 in tank pump, deka 80 lb injectors, and assume I will be good with the factory regulator.

    no problems, we have run some wild fuel pumps into the stock regulator no problem

    i ran twin 400lph pumps into the stock lines, regulator, rails on my truck without issue for 4000 hard miles
