Update on the oil cooler adapter. Looks like I'm going to go with this piece:

It's going to be easier and cleaner to adapt the whole setup.

Nope, I believe it's a 16cc dish. I'm going to be running a hair over 8:1 compression.

So he can throw ungodly amounts of boost at it and not worry about venting the engine. Error on the safe side is always a good idea

just out of curiosity, whats the expected lag time or rpm range with a lower compression and motor combo like this? will it be a torquer or a higher rpm motor?

Low Compression = More boost on pump gas. The lag will be almost non-existant with the twin setup, and the turbos are being custom built at Precision for my application.

My HP goal when I 1st started this was 650RWHP at low boost and 800RWHP on a race tune. I've since heard from a few people that at 20psi I could easily make over 1000RWHP with this setup, but I won't even go there. 800RWHP is the most I plan on doing, but I don't know that the 60lb injectors will support it. If they do they may be running 100% duty cycle.

Here's an update. I picked up my Short Block from Keith Craft Racing today, and proceeded to bolt on the heads.







I'm waiting on my oil pump so I can get the pump, pickup, and chains back together.

Damn.. you are really gettin with it. Everythings looks real nice.
And you are right on about the injectors. This turbo 4V thing is going to demand a lot from the fuel system

Actually their main shop is about an hour from me in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. They have a great reputation, have top notch equipment in their shop, and have built a LOT of nice race and street engines.

What sort of RPM redline do you expect from this engine?
