I'm back, and with turbo.

I was ok till I got to 8 lbs on the E-30 and started to run out of fuel afr would go from 11.5 and start leaning off at wot another thing is to get a reusable inline fuel filter as well the stock ones dont seem to last I change it out 2 times to one oil change Aeromotive 13105 - Aeromotive Compact EFI Fuel Regulators - summitracing.com Aeromotive 12304 - Aeromotive Fuel Filters - summitracing.com

way to much!!!!!!!! lol I think I had $6000.00 into it this is not including any labor, this took me about a month to install and the little things that you never would think of add up quick, engine cost me about $7000.00 all in all its priceless when you are trying to wipe the perma grin off your face

Thanks for the info I will look into re pluming it .

What type of fuel injector to these trucks have. I noticed that they are thinner and longer than what I'm used to seeing. Are they EV-1?

[Heavy_Metal]

Actually, I found out. They are EV6 injectors. You can use old EV1 injectors with an adapter harness.

Looks like a fun project.
I wouldn't go over about 4 to 450RWHP on your stock block,,,or you'll be rebuilding it.

And why is that? The stock 5.4s can handle it, why couldn't this? The block is more less the same as a 5.4 with 2 more cylinders.

V10s also have "6-bolt" mains, which I'm sure you already know. I'm pretty confident 600hp wouldn't be a problem if your A/Rs are right and you get no spark knock I'm shooting for the 450 mark as you said though.

[phil6608]

Are you talking flywheel HP or rear wheel HP?
The week point is the crappy rods in these motors. They snap and put nice windows in your block.
Back when I was making a little over 450 RWHP ( closer to 500) I was running a 255 fuel pump and a KB boost-a-pump with 42# injectors. Plus a SCT 2600 MAF meter.
When I started to bump up the power I went with an all custom fuel system!

Two Walbro 255 in tank fuel pumps,larger pickup,,larger braided lines all the way to the motor. Aeromotive fuel regulator and fuel rails. And added a Mafia in the mix.

As long as you have a good fuel supply, tuning and a big enough MAF meter. You should be good on your stock block for 450 RWHP,,,but for how long is the question...lol

[Heavy_Metal]

I'm sure it will be fine with under 8psi boost.

[Heavy_Metal]

Well, here's what I got. It's going to work.

T-61 P-trim with T-4 rear.
MSD Pump Booster.
Shur-flo pump.
Large air-to-liquid intercooler w/ factory F-350 trans cooler as heat exchanger.
Lots-o-3" pipe.
Lots-o-braided steel oil line.
Lots-o-silicone joints and clamps.
50lb EV-6 injectors. ($65 a piece...yikes)
Oil pressure switch for return pump.
Adjustable 4-8lb waste gate
Adjustable 6-10lb blow off valve
Diablo tuner
Headers
and much, much more.

Those are just the tip of the iceberg.
I still have to figure out the fuel press. regulator. Everything is almost ready and I have mapped the turbo and started data logging the truck with N/A tune to model from. I figure I can keep it at a A/F ratio of 12:1 and push about 6psi. On my desktop dyno it claims 497 hp and 604 ft.lbs. We'll see about that. It was pretty close when I built my last 408 CI '87 mustang so I'm guessing it to be close.

[Skoda]

sounds like a great setup though your getting bigger injectors and can control the A/F with your programer so I don't see a need for the boost a pump, or am I missing something?

[Heavy_Metal]

ECM controls fuel pressure through the fuel pump up to 12v. To supply additional pressure under boost, the boost-a-pump will increase voltage to the pump resulting in a bit more pressure. I may need it, I may not. If not, I'll just return it.

[meanv10]

Dose the Msd boost a pump work through a vacuum switch like the kenne bell?

[Heavy_Metal]

Yes, it works the same.

UPDATE Part two: I traded my turbo for a T70 last night. Neighbor had a brand new one that was too big for his application.

The V10 does use a return style fuel system so using an AFPR would not be senseless because you could limit the amount of return thus increasing pressure at the rail. I've thrown the idea around myself and thought about rigging one up on my truck but haven't gotten around to it yet. You're right though, there is no "direct replacement" AFPR available.
