fitting turbo +inj
Im going to have a go at fitting some phase 2 440's with adapters and a vf 35 turbo in my classic soon, has any one got any useful advice, never fitted a turbo before will i need new gaskets or can i reuse the old ones? do you have to clamp off the oil and water lines? are the inj adapters easy to fit as i didnt get any instructions with them? how long should it take?
cheers

Most people will say this is unnecessary but when i do it next i will just drain the coolant first.
You will want plenty of rags to catch fluids. Get a new set of studs and nuts as the old ones will be rusted and use new gaskets. Don't be tempted to buy the cheap hatched pattern ones as they fall apart. Get the proper subaru ones or ones of the same design. You may get away with using the old ones but if you are fitting a new turbo and injectors why not splash out for new gaskets too. If the old ones are ok keep them as spares.
As for injectors. They are fairly easy to be honest. Make sure there is no fuel pressure left in the system before you start. Use new o rings and be careful not to pinch the o rings when you seat the injectors. I have never used adaptors...

It's not so much the revs its the boost. For example in normal conditions below 2500rpm you get no boost so its fine. But going up hill in a higher gear for example if you put your foot down you get a lot of boost lower down before you get to 3000rpm. Lot's of boost means lots of fuel and that will be when the mixture is wrong. I wouldn't run a car with unmapped injectors any more then to get it to the remap location and on the journey I would drive it very steadily.
