The time has come for my 03 to make the step towards a turbo. Just placed my order with CG fabrications for their T4 race kit for AC cars. I ordered it as Stainless with a 44mm gate. Cannot wait to get that!
The motor is out of the car currently after a failure prematurely ended my season early last August after a valvespring shattered and dropped a valve. The new setup is as follows;
-Teksid
-stock crank
-Molnar Power Adder Plus Rods
-Diamond Mod 2K, should be 10:1
-Todd Warren cams cut for turbo
-Wonder Racing timing components and HD chains
-FID1300s (e85 of course)
I’ve had my eye on that FI 76/92 Borg, so as of now that’s the route I’m planning to go.
The car has an AODE, so I will be needed to change converters now with the turbo. The car is going to majority a hot street/track car. What are you guys running for a converter?
As for the cold side of things, J2Fab’s turbo inlet adapter really caught my eye, as I would like to try and keep my brand new PNR ice tank in use..I like the the idea of utilizing the factory A2W system with the turbo. Anyone out there running that setup with good results?
I also have a brand new IW balancer with the integrated hub to run a lower pulley...I don’t see what the issue would be to just utilize that balancer without the lower ring on, thoughts?
I wanted to just get a thread going on here that I can gather information from some of you, and post some progress pictures and updates!
Here is how the car sits currently!

. The holley was super easy to wire in on a ls platform. Only thing was the 4 inputs/outputs on the HP. They filled up quick, wish I had went with the DOM. But the $
