I bet that thing is pretty quick I saw something like that on the road a couple days ago, though I think it had a VW air cooled setup in the back from what I could tell.

What i want to know is, did you use a commercially available turbo kit or did you fabricate your own?


b) How did you handle the fuel pump situation?

[Second Skin Rep]

The shop that does the work is Poor Boys Sand Cars of Phoenix AZ.
They Fabrictaed it all. Not a bolt on package or anything.

Not sure about the fuel pump. What exactly is the fuel pump Situation?

1) How much HP? How much total cost?


2) RE: fuel pump situation:

The 3.4 has no mechanical fuel pump provision?

According to the shop I am somewhere between 250 and 300 hp on 110 octane. pretty big gap though. I'll have to get it dyno'd to find out for sure.
It only weighs about 1200 lbs with the engine so she is very fast.

As far as I know they used and electic fuel pump but thats as far as it goes. I don;t know anything else about it. I will be dropping it off tomorrow to get tuned up a bit.

For some reason any time I turn to the right while on the gas she starts to sputter out. Second gear too. When I am gunning it from first to second the higher RPMs in 2nd start to sputter out. like I am losing gas, or like the gas line has air bubbles evenly spaced out.

they can't figure it out...

Total cost?

[Second Skin Rep]

Total cost?

Total engine package with custom turbo, upgraded suspension with new motor mount bracing and paint.
$6500

[Stewart G. Griffin]

Not bad.

Who is the vendor?

[Second Skin Rep]

Poor boys sand cars in Phoenix AZ
They built the engine.
ONly problem now is that it sputtins in the high RMPS or when I throttle to the right...

they are trying to fix that one now.

How much total HP? Torque?



The sputtering means you're running lean at those RPM's and while turning right. I will read up more on this and get back 2 U if i get a chance. But i don't got no time.

They are telling me it is around 250 hp. maybe more but at least 250. Not sure onthe torque.

They tried to adjust the jets. To richen them up. they messed with the float level.

Can't seem to figure it out no matter waht jets of float level they set it at..

Sounds like you need fuel injection!
