about turbocharging a K8

[BATTOSAI]

Hello guys. I´d like to turbocharge my K8 engine ( Yes, I know that a Kl-ze is cheaper, BUT I LIVE IN SPAIN! and importing it is a real waste of money!!) and I need to know how I can adress a Kl fuel system (bigger injectors, Vaf,O2 sensors and ECU) to not spread too much fuel when the turbo isn´t blowing enough (Low to mid range) Is there any device that allows to set a program to a fuel pressure regulator? I think that this could do things more easy. What air/fuel ratio meter should I need to prevent falling in a too rich/lean condition? The Kl system is capable of holding a boosted K8? it should ,won´t it?<BR>How are intercoolers sized? I don´t want it to restrict the airflow or either slow it down! (I´m planning a tt design). Will a pair of T3 produce too much boost?<p>[ October 09, 2002: Message edited by: BATTOSAI ]

I would recommend getting the book "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. It's a great overview of basic turbocharger system designs.

I was planning to buy it, but it will help me about metering and control devices for the fuel management? If not, can somebody throw me a hand about it? It´s my first inducted project!
