So ive decided to retire my SC from its daily pizza delivering in favor of a nice
gas saver. This will give me the downtime i need to do what i really want with
my ride. A 5spd swap and twin turbos in favor of the M90. I have a few
questions number wise that searching was a bit hard for. Maybe some of you
vets will know them right off the top of your head.
1. How much boost can the stock bottom end take? This is for future
reference.
2. What intake manifold and throttle body should i be looking for? Consider the fact that i am going to mount the turbos in place of the AC and
Alternator in similar fashion to the roush 3.8 TT build.
3. Im planning to run only 10-12 psi, for any reason would i need to upgrade
injectors and or fuel pump?
4. Since im going to be running similar boost numbers for any reason would i be wanting to upgrade my MAF and or Throttle Body?
5. Are there any known front facing headers for the 3.8?
My real goal in this build is to make simply around 275 HP and 375 LB of
Torque. Some would ask why such little power increase for such a massive
project but the idea is to make much more power with the same stresses
on the internals and less rotational stress on the motor with an increase in MPG.
