Thanks for all the positive and negative and ridiculassss comments(20psi?????) But the car in question is rooted let alone getting it fixed for roadworthy..... both floor pans will be replaced and the whole arse end above the fuel tank including the tail light area and the sides and doors and......etc so it really is just a fix up and race and hope it doesn't blow up to soon, but got a spare auto motor and auto plus another spare engine so I'm just trying to get info on how the set up of the turbo should be and I have a few ideas now....keep them coming

EFI turbo L series thread from OZDAT

i know it's got to do with L series, but it will give you a basis on how to start.

if you want to do a carby turbo system then i recommend running it on LPG after having a chat with a few people of late on this.

if you run the water line from the heater line, to the convertor and then onto the turbo, the convertor doesn't freeze by using engine temp water AND you get cold water for your turbo after it's been thru the convertor

add to that the 106 RON and ability to run more boost / more aggresive timing means power all the way.

and forget dual fuel...

Hey guys i am the other guy in the project, we are not going to run the ass out of the motor as yes we want a little reliability and there is no way we will get that with 14psi for sure , as it is the fuel has been sorted with a 4-6psi pump, the head is going to be decomp with a A14 head and thick gasket, L20 valves i am tryin to find out if they will fit or we will just get double's for it, and there is no way we are converting it to lpg no matter what the gains may be, as for the comment of the waste of a good datto , we dont think so as it will be a race car so if thats a waste to you but a gain for us sorry... if we blow it up as stated there are A14 flattop pistons to go in it so the cost is cheap as they dont have to be made oversized just take the block out to suit...already checked that out, as for the diff it will be welded with torsion bars and a brace put in for good measure which is all going to be made by ourselves, if it blows there will be a bluebird diff for replace, by our calcs as we have both owned datto's there will be a good chance the car will survive the batterin it is going to get as it wont be strangled throttle open gettin off the line at the drags , launch is going to be a key to keeping the car in one piece and not detonating either the motor or the rest of the drive line....... feel free to reply with info but don't try burst our bubble with no you cant do it , thats no help to us try recommending something a little better that we have planned already.... CHEEERS
