wes' haggard hatch build

Well I've been tinkering with my car for a while... Figured I should make a build thread now. Goal is a reliable and quick street machine. Money is hard to come by for me, but whatever I have will go to this build. So this will be a sluggish build. You know the ol pick two, fast, reliable, and cheap...

Re: Need help with more detailed info for basic KA-T

The most important gauges are going to be your oil pressure, boost, and wideband AFR. Water temp from cluster is fine. save some money. you can get a good wideband for a decent price.. 165 ish is what the innovate wideband is going for right about now. The turbo timer is not really needed. Its a wat...

So, I have come to the conclusion that if I am doing a bottom mount t28, 7-10psi, 8.8 pistons, and E85. I don't really have a power goal, well whatever I get with 10psi and E85. I'd be happy with 250-300hp. But I've tried to figure this out, my guess is 550cc injectors. But what size injectors do th...
