What are you going to use to modify your ignition system?

 

sounds like quite the project you have going on. also sounds like you've got your work cut out for yourself. have fun and good luck, you'll have to post some results and keep us informed.

 

Were going to add an MSD " Universal Boost Timing Master " for ignition control

It gives us the ability to remove timing in 1, 2, or 3 degrees increments per pound of boost

It works with the stock ignition system by intercepting the signal to the coil and delaying it in reference to boost via the use of a built in MAP sensor

We've decided to hang the Turbo right off the front at the " Y " pipe and retain the OEM air box

The concern we had in locating in front was " Thermal Shock " if it suddenly became submerged in water , but plan to have the Turbo housing " Ceramic Coated " to provide a thermal barrier for protection

great idea with mounting it at the Y pipe, theres still plenty of protection behind that radiator and stuff. be sure to put in a K&N air filter!

another thing that you could do for that engine is to put a 40mm carb on, and putting the sportsman 800 header on, but that would interfere with the turbo mounting location, i dont know if that would even help since the back pressure is what makes the turbo work.

 

Yes , I already have a 40mm carb and the 800 pipe , we would have used the 800 pipe if we were going to mount the turbo where the air box was , but instead were going to use the original 700 merge and ex pipe because of the front turbo location
