I’ve been working toward a turbo swap for quite a while now and I think I’m finally getting close to the install so I thought I would start a thread to share some info and throw some photos out there for you guys.
My current setup is in my signature, but since I update my signature as I go, here is the engine/fuel related stuff:
The turbo I’ll be trying is an S300 with a 1.10 A/R, T4 turbine housing. The compressor wheel measures about 64.5/91.4mm.The turbine measures about 76.2/67.6mm.In its original application it supported 285 HP with 30 psi of boost.I’ve smoothed out both the compressor and the turbine housing to make them look nice and I’m planning to ceramic coat the turbine housing and duracoat the compressor housing.
Progress on this thread will be a little slow since I have quite a few projects going on right now.

My current setup is in my signature, but since I update my signature as I go, here is the engine/fuel related stuff:
- 4” Custom stainless exhaust with large magnaflow muffler.
- 2.5” Custom stainless crossover with external wastegate bypassing passenger side manifold – controlled by factory boost control system.
- K47 air box/filter
- #9 resistor
- Quadstar87 tune – I’ll leave it up to Quadstar87 if he wants to comment/share details on the current tune
- GM8
- Fuel prefilter, DRP02 fuel pump, modified FFM (FTB mods), modified fuel inlet fitting in injection pump, and a fuel pressure sensor verifying about 18 psi into the injection pump
- FACTORY DOWNPIPE – I never updated this since I have been planning this turbo upgrade with a custom 3.5” stainless downpipe.
