Pretty sweet fab work. Flatblack ftw! ;D

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

im not going to drive my truck if it isnt running right, i will get it setup. you people act like someone doesn't know ---- about cars, just because they had a question. guess what, everybody has questions. and im more familiar with carbed engines with little electrical and computers

PS: ive been looking around and was wondering if a could get by with a 10:1 mechanical fmu and the stock injectors. if they need to be bigger then how do you go about drilling them out correctly, i don't know if theres a special technique or if you just do it. also is there a specific reason the turbo manifold was stepped up like that

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

Drilling them out was a joke. And a 10:1 with stock injectors wont give you enough fuel . Been there, done that.

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

see i know more about carbs than EFI. ;D
so i would be good with a 10 or 12:1 fmu, 440 or 450 dsm's and like a summit inline pump?

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

No dont run "dsm" injectors.

Ford injectors 24# is what you want.

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

ford 24# are same size as stock honda injectors, if not smaller. 10.1cc = 1#(lb) or the other way around or something.

ford #24 aren't cheap, beacuse they think their ---- is special yet MOST top feed injectors used are bosch (oem ford are bosch)

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

drilling out was not a joke, you can get 800cc+ out of stock injectors driling them out.

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

Im talking 4 hole Ford motor sports injectors. Which I got for 100 bucks for 8 of them with a few hundred miles of use. You wont even have to worry about injectors for 6#'s of boost. the stock ones will do fine just feed it enough fuel pressure.

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

4-hole, 2-hole, 1-hole, its the same amount of fuel, and any obd2 ford has 4-hole.

POST SOME PORN, I KNOW I'M A NUUB, BUT I POSTED MY SHARE

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

I use FMS injectors because they are flow matched and have a much better spray pattern than any of the stock injectors Ive seen.

And I still never heard of drilling out your injectors. Seems like a ghetto ass way to save a hundred bucks and good luck getting them to match flow. :S

Plus im trying to help this guy boosting the same engine that I have. Ive been boosting it for about 2 years now and have went through numerous setups. Hands down the fms 24#. 12:1 FMU, and booster pump has giving me the greatest. So why not use what already is proven to work?

And 450cc is way to large. 24#s=255

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

That's nice man. I worked with a guy that had one of the 5.9(360ci) R/T models. I tried to get him to boost it but he was a puss. Cool to see something different. Get it to the track and see how it does...I'm curious.

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

so any specific junkyard cars to look for the injectors if i go to pick 'n pull i also think my truck is obd1, will that affect them?

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

wow, 13.2@106 with only a 2.2 60ft??? i wouldn't be proud of that 60ft if i were even in the 15s, oh wait, my old set up, 265K on basically stock 350 with 2.29 cogs out back, 2.19 60ft...15.0s@97

try yanking a 2.03 with 1wd & 3.08s out back on JY tires, with a mild n/a 305, 14.3s@95 :6

i like to see the #s after you run it again with the turbo

nice project...but that IC....just looks not right

my buddy has a '89 3.9 auto as a beater, he always wants to turbo it, but the damn thing goes thru rears so damn much as it is, ( 4 rears last year alone)

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

I wasnt proud of the 60 at all. It was actually better when the truck was stock. I could do much better with a stall and slicks.

Why dont you think the IC looks right?

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

it just doesn't "fit" or "look right" the truck...then you got the pipes peaking out the bottom


don't be offended, hell i'm function over form all day everyday...its just i dunno, lol

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

Mah nigga ;D

I remember seeing someone who retrofitted a Viper rear end multilink into their truck. I don't think it would be worth the money, but if you find an old wrecked one, why not. ::)

It's a stock LSD fo sho.

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

one bad ass looking truck. post vids!

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
 

Yeah, Im not a big fan of the pipes sticking out of the bottom. But its the only way I could route them. I didnt want to cut through the radiator support, Its not some thin sheet metal. And the area around that is the headlights.

But I do actually like the look...I think its just because its a dakota, and you shouldnt see that in a dakota..you should expect to see a 60 year old man hauling his grand sons new bike in the back.

Re: One off Single turbo Dakota.
