Turbo planning and questions

Ok, i've been searching the forums for ideas and hints before I posted. Still coming up
with some questions. 2000 GT stock just a HV3 at the moment. I do have a spare trans
from my GTP that I recently scrapped. Planning a rebuild on it for the spring.

I have the turbo, 42# injectors, 1.8 RR's, 38mm wastegate so far. The crossover I'm
having custom made from and should be wrapped up tomorrow. Looking at the wastegate
perch from ZZP as well as the Oiling kit unless I can grab one from ebay and not need TOO
many additional pieces. Intercooler/bov/ manual boost controller as well from ebay within the
month. DP I'll figure some out pending how this crossover comes out.

Anyway.. so my questions are with the oil feed, if no ZZP kit from where do I run it from.
Does some need to be drilled and tapped? Or is there an in-line fitting that I could grab
in order to work. In the event that the turbo is too close or touching the TB could I utilize
a L26 intake to avoid this from happening. Also, is there a write up somewhere that
explains the F-intake conversation, because on first search I have not found it.

Just looking to put something together that can keep up when my buddies and I meet up.
Maybe in the 400 hp range. If it managed to pull 12's I wouldnt be upset. Nothing insane
, tell me if I'm crazy or not. Thanks in advance.
 


The oil pressure switch in these cars is more like a dummy switch and when that comes on, the engine is already toast.

So with that said you could use that port on the oil filter housing for the feed line on the turbo.
 
Ok, so the best line kit to purchase is the zzp?
How bout the UIM, i believe that the crossover doesnt leave much
room to mount the turbo up. So i may have to go with the f-body
intake. How does that conversion go, or is there a write-up?

Get going on the downpipe too, thats going to be custom. And get 60# injectors the 42's are worthless for turbo. Keep the na mani the f body aint worth it.

I agree, its gonna be a pita. Weather depending I'll bolt it up tomorrow just to
get an idea.

Far as the 42's, I just got my ECU back from Intense, so I'll try it out and hopfully
it's runs when everything is back together. Also, bought the replacement
pushrods for the 1.8RR's, so i have plenty of work ahead of me.
 


Goodluck on your super tight custom downpipe! Fbody intake wont fix that, 3800 turbos its a straight shot back then down, they go under the master cylinder.
 
Yea that downpipe is gonna be a pain, but i'll run an open dump under the damn
thing. My daily is my Optima, so she'll only come out for occasional runs maybe the
track once i swap the trans out.
 


Ended up going with the f-body alternator bracket and picked up
the icm rail, but from what i see the egr may gotta go. Hopefully
the wiring can stretch that far over..thoughts?
