well I'd help but I'm real busy and live very fare away...but it depends on your setup and turbo of choice...a 14b at 9-10 psi with a decent intercooled setup tuned on afc tuned very well with a slick and lsd you might kiss 13's...btu 12's will be pretty much impossibel on a stock bottom without a nice big 20G or t3/t4 with a nice big a/r on it and some sweet tuning and some broken axles...lol

check homemadeturbo.com for oil line runing..you need to tap for a oil adn coolant feed...then weld a port on the oil pan for the oil return line...I'd suggest getting a beater d16 oil pan to plug first for practice or jsut for zero down time

the kit im buying already has the oil pan for my car, with all the lines done and it tapped into the oil pan....right now my motors built also btw, itsnot a stock zc that this is going on and iv got an lsd tranny already and ill prolly b running a drag radial tire on the front..... since ill b using a home made kit do u think that an fmu is good enough for management?

no i wouldnt do that, i know with one of the Greddy kit... you can custom mount it.... i think its for the lude.

off your existing oil......

basically its gotta be like a L type shape... if u can imagine this with me...

here is a pic... hope it works

there is a kit that uses it, so why tap into your oil pan???

fmu is garbage dotn'e ven bother...all it does it bump fuel pressure threw the roof so yoru stock 240cc injecotrs flow abit more...very crappy and unprecise and fuel milage will be crap....get a afc and some dsm injectors and a msd BTM (boost timing master > kills timing as boost comes on) and that should let you run some decent psi and get soem good numbers in

go with dingus' advice

I've been reading up on turbo stuffs for the past few months wanting to do a homemade turbo setup.

DSM 450cc injectors with a resistor box, walboro 255lph fuel pump and either the vafc hack or run uberdata with a wideband for datalogging. (free fuel management software).

As for tapping the oil pan for the oil lines, JB Weld! lol

Homemadeturbo.com is your best source of info.

Personally for the price of a greddy kit, you could make a kickass home made setup. BMC makes some nice log style manifolds, or if you got the money, lovefab tubular manis are amazing. Toss in a 14b or one of those 16gs
