Default Help with school/turbo project

ok, hears the deal. at my school we have this Sr project deal and for mine im building a turbo 91 si hatch and tuning it. all i have now is the turbo a bov the dp and some know how. i need all the help i can get rounding up parts and info to write my paper so if ANYONE would be willing to help me i would appriciate it. i need to find a few books on turbos, magazine articles and websites(this and PGMFI will be two of them). i also need the rest of the parts for the kit. im not begging for free parts but if anyone has anything sitting around they would like to donate that would be awesome. i will post pictures of my build as well as my project board and my grade to let yall know how it went. thanks again, later

just started reading it and it will help you greatly

Also, go to barns$noble and go to the automotive section, they have a very wide selection, from tuning EFI to learning how to select a cam to how to build a motor. Forced induction is included. Be prepared to spend a few hundred on literature alone though.

cool deal. i dont have to buy the books i really just need some sources to say i used. i know more than enough to complete the whole project and get a 100 with no problem. this will be the 5th turbo car ive built but the 1st ive personaly owned. ive finaly got enough efi know how to tackle it for my own low budget build up. i plan on going with:

93 LS
powerstroke turbo (big yes. but free? yes! )
custom top mount manifold
big enough cheap intercooler (prob a cut down powerstroke)
450's or 550's
custom oil lines for the turbo
LC-1 wideband
chrome or uberdata
possibly the ostrich
external waste gate of some sort
aftermarket audi style bov (hoses clamp on each side)

if anyone has any other info to share, websites, book titles, anything id appriciate it.


I NEED SOME INJECTORS!!!

depending on the size of your library... you should find some good books there. There is a library by my house with ALOT of automotive books. I think they even had the Corky Bell book.
