Cheers guys.
Got the holley floatbowl set up & tested. No leaks! pic shows it holding a steady 4psi. Rigged up a clear tube off the feed manifold to see fuel level, looks like its just about perfect. Thought I'd see how much pressure the Holley float would take; turned on the pump and kept adjusting the regulator up to an unbelievable 12psi; level rose by 5-6mm but still held it steady. Impressed!

Dyno session at Krazy Horse went well. Made 57HP and 72 ft-lbs torque. Only revved it to 5K, being gentle on the motor. Peaking early; turbo seems to run out of puff. Was making 12 psi of boost at 3500 rpm.
Gonna try a bigger turbo.
Only problem we had was way too much oil pressure going into the turbo.

No; too busy trying to monitor everything!
Bought a Garrett GT15 turbo on ebay for £15! The one we have on there is a GT12. The GT15 is more or less a bolt-in. We need more top-end power; the torque curve we have now would be ideal for the street.
I now have the turbo oilpump in bits revising the pressure relief valve.
Heres the dyno readout:

Hey man, great project! I was referred over here from DOTHETON. I've got a lot of catching up to do and probably questions to ask.

Former A10 LSR guy myself  (MVG-650) :)

G'day BTF Boyal,  *welcome*.
We'd love to hear a few tales over in Pictures Stories and Intro's.
What's been happening Briz?
Cheers
