Hey, i was pondering today, since its taking awhile to get stuff done on turboswap motor....why not put in the la3 ,vam, injectors! I figure maybe get some of the wiring outa the way, and have my fuel system ready to swap over (since the only thing changing out is block/head , intake staying) any thing i should watch out for while running a n/a la3 setup? I espect it to run a little rich (*cough*) due to the 35's but anything else? thinking of pulling a bhuff

It works fine. I will find out how rich it really is in a couple more weeks with stingers wbo2, but it doesn't seem that bad.
You may have to retard the timing a little. The turbo computer has a lot more advance at low rpms because the turbo engine has low compression.

that is definatly the extra timing making it ping.
If you were to install a wilder cam, that would decrease the cylinder pressures at low rpms, and make it less likely to ping. I found this to be a nice combination actaully.
As for the fuel pressure, it should be ~39psi with the vacume hose off.
