>BorgWarner S256 .48 A/R
Very interesting turbo choice, not to say it won't perform well down low. BW has always had some of the best journal bearing turbos IMO, even if that S256 is an extremely antiquated design at this point.

Parts list looks good to me. Fuel pump?

 

I agree on the borg. I tuned a car a while back with a borg and it spooled better than i expected for its size. I wonder if the top mount is going to hurt that spool response...

The car will be fun, they are light and dont need much power. Next step save for a diff!

 

Not at all enough for it to be consequential versus a bottom mount.

 

fuel pump is 535 i got in tank, wired and on 40 amp relay. -6 crimped teflon stainless braided lines all the way up ( I work in hydraulics) hunter tuned rail
thanks on the turbo choice. any guesses when it will light ???? im thinking 4-4500 ish ???? really hoping to get head CNC work .. get flow up , im thinking this is the best way to get good power on moderate boost. 20-25 daily

 

am i losing out by using the top mount manifold ???? i thought i was doing good with it? better choice ????

 

Top mount is fine.

Fuel pump choice sounds great.

 

Make me some lines for my surge tank. Pls thanks

 

I had a .48 hot side on a t3/t04e back in the day on a stock b18a. It was very, very fun. Seemed really well-sized for the motor, had full boost by like 2600ish, IIRC. Pulled great all the way to stock redline.

 

Yeah that sounds ideal for just a fun little street car, or even for small autocross courses.
