Update on my build first fire up of the turbo setup I ran going to take it to a buddy's to hook it up to wide band to see were we need to go with the fuel but she runs
Its oil from turbo dont have the rite drain line or the tank built yet the rite drain line should be here Tuesday
I still have to find a 1to1 ratio right angle gear box if anyone has one laying around let me know a buddy just gave ma a clutch for 40 chain that's good for 32hp so ones I get the rest of the parts I'll post a test drive
The motor will be linked with 2 chains one chain off the cluch on motor runing to a right angle gear box and 2nd chain running from gear box to rear axel
Well I'm going to cap off the hole some so I can still see my head lights but u should still be able to see the turbo hose thew the headlight lens when I put it back in

Nice turbo setup on that oppy! Looks like you're using an electric fuel pump to feed oil to the turbo bearings? That's a good idea!
EFI would be interesting for sure, rather complicated but I think it has been done before. Some sort of throttle-body injection setup would be the easiest I would think, but I'm not sure how well they perform with forced-induction as opposed to direct injection.
Either way, keep up the good work!

CarsandCameras rigged it up to a Predator 420 once, seemed pretty plug and play. Not sure about the ejection itself though. I think BuildBreakRepeat is currently doing the same thing though, they had to tune it on a computer and everything.
Best way to take an oppy to the next level seems to me.
What I meant before was is the turbo after the carb in the intake line up, because otherwise usually under pressure they'll spray fuel out every seal. Just curious.

I'm not sure, but to be honest, I think you should just leave it. It looks downright mean like that. Put some nice LED's in it and the cover back on and I'd call that good to go!
