CRP Stage 5 Turbos and Nostrum Stage 1 install?

[singingwhodat]

Looking for some expert opinions. I’m looking to order the CRP Stage 5 Turbos and Nostrum Stage 1 Fuel System upgrade. For those that have installed these upgrades, did you tackle the installation yourself or went through a shop. I know I’m capable but as the ST is my fault driver I want to minimize downtime. Install time? What are your thoughts or opinions? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

This thread is useful. OP's shop did it in 5hrs, Ford book time is 7hrs apparently. If you upgrade the turbos, I'd definitely do the downpipes while you're in there. Don't forget to take into account the need for a tune afterwards.

For the high pressure fuel pump. It doesn't look hard, just a PITA being in such a tight spot.

Thanks for the share! I have the SPD Downpipes and Lethal Midpipes ready to be installed, just have to order the turbos and fuel system. I may go with my local Ford Dealership as they have always taken good care of me with installs and warranties.

I have been chatting with Adam about updating my current 93 tune so I think I have that part covered. I won’t be able to run anything other than 93 because the nearest fuel station with E85 is like 30 miles away. I don’t want to go for max power with the new setup but would like to break it to the 11’s and bring the 0-60 times down.

I tried messaging [mention]Kruppa [/mention]on here a few weeks ago but never got a reply. I’m going to try to contact him again for some tips.

Why would you buy the fuel system if you're going to use 93? I'm asking because you will not need it even with the larger turbos if you're not using higher percentage ethanol mixes.

Adam recommended it. I will double check with him.

Check this out:

At that time, Kevin did NOT have any fuel mods done. IMHO those Pure 700 turbos will not max out the fuel system on 93 unless you have some other significant modifications.

Here is the dyno to match:

To make that kind of wheel horsepower (563) requires more mass airflow and therefore more fuel flow- whether it's 104 octane or not. That would definitely argue against requiring any type of fuel mods for 93 octane.
