    Turbo and fueling recommendations

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have the ringer racing clutch and flywheel combo. I am going to get new rods and do the 2.8 heads with upgraded valvetrain. My only thing is idk what to do for turbos or fueling.

    K04 is to small, f21s seem to be to small also. Rs6 might be able to get there but it's looking like I'll need one of the gt options. I do want to go to e85 but everything I have found on the forums are old and outdated with people saying that switching to it would be stupid and there's not enough places that sell it. Where I'm at there are plenty of places that sell it and this is not a daily car.

    So what turbos would you suggest to reach the upper power limit of the ringer racing (Stage 4 - 840 ft lbs) clutch? Also what do I need for an e85 conversion other than compatible fuel lines?

    K04 is perfect for daily driving, producing around 23 psi of boost on premium gas. Anything larger than K04, is not optimal for daily driving. C5 is not a racing platform. Rethink what you trying to achieve, more is not always better. Your clutch would live long happy life in a balanced setup with K04 and proper fueling and tune. If you looking where to spend money, spend them on brakes, suspension, differentials, to have balanced setup.

    This is NOT a daily it's gutted with minimal interior. I will not go with something small. This will be a drag car that will see the streets very rarely. Your info did not answer my questions and that's the same type of answer I see on almost every post here. That's the whole reason the whole platform is limited cause everyone says that.

    Answers or suggestions only. No need for opinions on what I should do with my car to keep it a daily.

    Lol I thought about going single turbo and that may be a good option for the future but I want to do minimal fab work until I move. Where I live now the garage is to small to do much of anything. I'm still trying to figure out how I'll pull the engine and trans with the room I have. But I want to go with something I can mostly "bolt in".

    Probably like V1nny, I did not read anything in your first post about being a gutted drag car...I though that his response was wholly appropriate for what most people are going for based on your opening post. Oh, sorry...I didn't answer your question either...good luck with your project.
    Now...'94 Land Cruiser, '18 Mini CooperS Clubman 2.0t, '13 Ford Explorer Sport 3.5t...Then...'03 RS6 6spd, '03 A6 2.7t 6spd sedan,
    '83 Rabbit GTI Callaway, '91 Golf GTI 2.0 16v, '99 Golf GTI 2.0, '69 Austin America, '52 Pontiac Chieftain, and many more....

    Not much "fab" besides relocating wires and stuff. Gives you the flexibility to use whatever turbo you want, as well as the ability to R&R your turbo easily in the future.
