I catch bits and pieces on here about peoples turbo projects and was wondering who all has a turbo project running or in the works? I would like to hear about everybodys setups, such as what components you are running for exhaust, intake, fuel systems, ect. Post up some pics if ya got em too. :icon996:

I have a few different projects gong on at once. Some various pics can be seen here... http://www.shearermotorsport.com/gallery/index.htm

My winter highlights if they all follow through are going to be a single turbo mod motor radial mustang, a 500in TT dart, and an ls1 camaro to prototype a turbo kit on. Hopefully it will be enough work to keep my mind off of the cold.

I'm building two vehicles this year.

twin-turbo 408ci LSX iron block for my drag car (1998 Pontiac Formula)

twin-turbo 348ci LS6 for my '69 Camaro convertible.

The drag car should be a high 8-second car (twin GT-40 turbos), the '69 will just be a fast street cruiser.

In the works :

1965 Buick Skylark- 383 SBC with TV81 turbo from a Detroit Diesel
will be making 1 3/4 mild steel headers that get coated
will try to work out a air-water intercooler first, but have the core for a air-air if needed. Tial 50mm blowoff and 44mm wastegate. All blowin into a 800cfm Holley carb. Shooting for 1000hp.

Mine is a 68 Camaro with twin turbos and twin intercoolers, on a 96LT1.
All homebuilt with JY parts.. turbos off a GM diesel, Saab intercoolers, modified S-10 headers..

7 psi on the stock LT1 did 405 RWHP/513RWTQ, so it works fine. I am selling the 68 and putting the drivetrain in my 70, so that will be for the future.

Fuel system is Aeromotive A1000 and reg;, Accell DFI and MSD handle the ignition

"Hi". My car is a '68 Camaro with twin turbo MoTown block 6" rod, solid roller 406 stroker with twin PT-52 turbos, HKS Wastegates, CarbShop blow-through, HKS SSQV BOV, etc. Aeromotive A1000 and regulator. The headers are from Kooks, but were modded to fit, I designed all the rest while my cousin at LG Motorsports welded all the tubing together. 720rwhp at 6psi. Normal boost is 9.7 so go figure. Glad to meet you guys.

Looks like there is some pretty cool turbo setups out there. My twin turbo setup is the first experience I have had with forced induction and DAMN its pretty cool! O and by the way I am running a 486 bbc with twin rajay 301e's with .8 a/r exh housings, aeromotive a1000 pump with a 13204 reg, holley 750 carb, 38 mm tial wastegates and a tial 50 mm bov. To those of you that are still building, let me warn you that it will be hard to wipe the smile off your face the first time you go for a test drive. Thanks for the posts guys, its nice to see other's setups!

Hey Mike- I have the same fuel pump and regulator and am having an issue:

The fuel pressure is increasing almost proportionatley with engine rpm. All the electrical checks out, and the problem stops with the boost-reference disconnected. So under nomral load and acceleration the fuel pressure increases to the point of flooding over the needle/seats and thus the engine. It's like the regulator is increasing pressure even when the car is not in boost.

Have you (or any one else) encountered this?

shmoov69
11-14-2005, 08:01 PM
What return line are you running? I had a too small return and had an issue similar to this. Also remember, even though the boost gauge is not showing "boost", it still has positive pressure and may be opening the reg just a little and the return may not be big enough to send it back to the tank. I got a 1/2" aluminum return on mine and it actually is not big enough, but will do. I just need to get the good regulator, I got a small Mallory on it and it is NOT near big enough.

Y-TRY
11-14-2005, 08:18 PM
I'm running -10 feed and -8 return lines. I'm leaning toward blaming the reg. since the problem doesn't happen with the line removed. I just can't get on the throttle without the line hooked up.

Maybe the reg. sees any drop in vac. as boost? If I find anything out from Aeromotive I'll post here, too.

my72vette454
11-15-2005, 08:15 AM
I used 5/8 line on mine for both the supply and return, seems like I remember someone on another board with a similar problem bacause of a too small return line. Also I have my boost reference line coming off the intake pipe just before the carb hat so I dont have any vacuum going to the regulator. If your problem goes away with the line disconnected, you might try plumbing your boost reference line before the carb and see what happens. I have heard there is a pressure drop of a lb or 2 because of the carb and I thought it would be better to sense boost pressure before the carb than after to help insure the fuel pressure rises high enough to supply the carb properly. Going lean under boosts not a good thing. Hope this helps.

Hmm. Got me thinking: I have my boost refrence tied in at the hat. There is a "T" from the hat and the other side of the "T" goes to the line running from the baseplate, which I believe pulls vacuum much of the time. Makes me wonder if the vac. from this line is sending weird signals to the regulator. So the reg is almost actually reading from the baseplate instead. Hmmmmmm.

If it doesn't happen when the boost refrence line is not hooked up, then I can almost assure you that the return line is too small or the regulator spring cannot overcome the pressure from the pump once it starts to raise. With forced induction, it can still see small amounts of positive pressure and still not show as boost. Kinda like the boost has to overcome the vacum before it shows as boost.
Let us know!

I used 5/8 line on mine for both the supply and return, seems like I remember someone on another board with a similar problem bacause of a too small return line.

Not sure if this would help, but I was talking to Aeromotive last week about their Fuel Pump Speed Controller (http://216.242.145.16/products/product.phtml?p=31). They explained that you do not want a large volume of fuel circulating through the system since the fuel carries heat from the engine back to the tank. Not sure how true this is, but it liked the idea of controlling the fuel volume based on RPM's. This should also help fix any problems due to too small of a return line.

Let me know if anyone is using one of these since I'm planning on ordering one.

My car is a 69 Camaro Convertible, ZZ502, Whipple EFI Supercharger, and Aeromotive's pump/filters.

11-21-2005, 05:53 PM
Those controllers are cool.

I'd suspect the return line issue except that the problem stops when the boost-reference is bypassed. I'm convinced the regulator is increasing pressure based on faulty info. There is either something going on in the hat or that "T" with the baseplate is somehow screwing it all up. I'm going to stop Ninja-ing this thread and move this to another thread....

I've got the headers fabbed up, they're at a welder's getting TIGed right now. I can't tig for anything, much less something that has to withstand the stresses of a turbo motor.

Bingo!:yeah: Got it at Wal-Mart, used Innovative's dimensions, and about 3 hours of work with a pocket knife later I had a full scale innovative GT series turbo. It is even 360* clockable due to a pencil epoxied in as an axis! (I live in a dorm and I get bored sometimes...) I'd suggest anyone that is building a turbo setup use something of the like to mock everything up.

I built a twin turbo SBC 427 about 4 years ago that made 1200hp/1000tq on pump gas. It was installed in a 1982 Corvette but I sold the car a couple of years ago (regrettably).

I didnt read the whole thing but how many people are running non-intercooled set-ups and how much boost are you running? What is the limit to need an intercooler?

I didnt read the whole thing but how many people are running non-intercooled set-ups and how much boost are you running? What is the limit to need an intercooler?

There are a lot of factors that could change this including but not limited to compression, compressor map, back pressure, fuel octane and your tune.

We were able to make around 650 HP non intercooled with a 366" SBC with 8.4:1 compression, 2 60-1 turbos, and crappy California 91 octane with 7-8 psi. We put 100 octane VP in the same motor and turned the boost up to 11-12 psi and made a little over 800. The intake temps were nearing triple ambient so you would have to be very careful with the "tune" and run the knock sensor settings very sensitive.

ok
finally got the turbos mounted to the hotside, now i've got to try to mount the wastegates but dont seem to have any room left, other than cutting the inner fenders and mounting them through them ! (any suggestions?)
i've also got to fit the oilpan with bungs/fitting for oil drainback and fab the coldside, wire the fuel injection and replace the rearend and it should be fire up time

Thought I would bring this thread back from the dead.

I am in the research phase of my Twin Turbo 1971 Chevelle. It will be a big block motor, around 500cid. Looking for a modest 1000HP. More can be had, but this will be a street/strip car on a 10" wide tire. Using the power is for later. The car is undergoing a frame off resto and I'm doing all of the work. Hope to have it all done spring of next year. The car made 450HP and ~480TQ with a 414cid big block. So I figured I needed to double that. Which means I should be running ORSCA in 3 years, right? I try to race in a straight line, but this build will be more about corneing than sixty footing.

Spelling was never your strong suit Mike. Sounds like a lotta fun but if I was you I'd look into a lsx if you're planning on cornering.

BB_Mike
03-24-2008, 06:56 AM
Yeap, I will continue to suck at the spell check.

By cornering I don't mean a canyon carving road racing machine, I just mean it will be able to hold its own and be much better than stock. i.e. no ladder bars out back and toothpick front control arms.

I do like the way Scott did his plumbing on the hot side. But I want the turbo's facing out. He just dropped off of planet earth after he sold it.

I will keep my brake booster, and I would like hydroboost. But that probably can't happend unless I go single turbo. The hot side piping for that is utter nonsense!

I hear ya Mike. Are you planning on going efi? It'd be cool to do that with e85 if that's easily available in your neck of the woods. Living in a corn state makes that easier for me, but I'd like to stay n/a and just use a ton of compression.

I would like to go with a blow through carb for nastalgia and asthetics, but EFI affords me better tunability for different fuel grades (i.e. E85 or even 100+ octane). EFI will also allow me to get better MPG. I plan to to drive the car a lot. Big Stuff 3 is appealing, but not cheap. I also plan to go with an electronic boost controll. Heck, I'll have $3k in software alone! pfft. Maybe I should build my own boost controler? Hmm, there's an idea.

How big is the downpipe going to be and is it going to fit between the frame and engine?
CARB and turbo? I dont see an efi setup.

I see you have a 6 speed, same here. Isnt that the best thing since sliced bread :yum: !!!!

ZZ4Blazer
03-29-2008, 02:01 PM
Downpipe will be 4" till about halfway behind the bed, then split into dual 3" mufflers before the axle. Its mocked up somewhat decent, but I still need to make or get a 3.5-4" pipe to connect to the turbo.

Yes, it will be carbed. Will be running a 750 holley from CSU. Have heard nothing but great things about them, even great driveability. Thats my NA motor pictured still, I have a stock bottom end 350 that will be going in there in a few weeks. Waiting for my cam to come, and need to get my heads done. Hopefully the motor will hold for a bit, and if not, doesnt take out the cam, heads, new oil pan, etc.

I love my truck being stick. I love banging those gears. Love downshifting into a corner, blowing through at scary speed in a truck, powering through and banging the next one.

Im not fan of white, but Im digging your first gen. Very clean. I love them, but standard cab is just too small for me. Hows the body line filled? Welded or glassed?

edl406
03-29-2008, 10:41 PM
The line is glassed, I did it over 10 years ago and still holdin in there, no cracks.
Yeah, Im not so fond of white anymore, thinking about black But I know im in for some work getting it straight enough for that. I may go red , I dont know. After I get the twin turbo stuff done Ill worry about the color.
I like the reg cab, less weight.

I hope the carb thing goes well for you, several guys talked me out of it, thats why im running efi.
I did see a couple of dyno pulls on you tube with carbs, you might want to go on there and see who the company was that was building them.

ZZ4Blazer
03-30-2008, 12:14 AM
I've done some research off and on about using the carb. I've probably read for hours on theturboforum.com about carbed set ups. CSU guys seem to know what they're doing. Almost down to plug and play tuning over the phone. Lots of guys claim that even the jetting is almost dead on right out of the box.

Dont get me wrong, I'll eventually swap to an efi set up, primarily for better driveability, and better fuel control in hard corners. Im already having problems keeping it from dumping fuel during braking or a hard corner. And I dont push it to the point on the street, and Im still on street tires. Im sure it would be worse on a track with some decent rubber.

I sat down tonight, and I think I might have to wait till next year for the turbo. I just dont think I'll have the money for everything. I can either
A: put it back the way it was, work my nitrous out better and drive the balls off it this year.

B: let it sit till I have the cash for everything.

I think Im gonna spend 1/4 of the money I was gonna, on upgrading a few things and have it back running again as soon as the weather is decent enough. I wanted to upgrade the front wheels with wider rubber, add the matching C6 brakes to the rear, and add a ps and oil cooler to it.

This is my first post here, I have a 1974 Chevy Monte Carlo with a 67mm Garrett turbo and blo-thru carb set-up. I built the driveline last year and in process of body and paint now.
I have about 540 Horsepower and the car has only been test driven a few times. Mechanical racepump fuel pump and Aeromotive boost ref. reg. with -8 fuel lines too & from the tank. 575 cfm BG Mighty Demon Blo-Thru Stock HEI with weights pulled and welded, 22 degree's timing.
50mm Tial BOV and 38mm Tial Wastegate. Stock Exhaust manifolds with passenger side flipped. I bought the Turbo used from a Kid who had it on a Honda Del-Sol...The bearings were shot and the car could hardly make boost cause the turbo was too big for it.
I paid $400 for the $1300 Turbo and rebuilt it myself. I pulled the motor and put new bearings and Oil pump in it and a new double roller timing chain while putting a drain in the pan.
I run a -4 supply hose and a -10 drain to the pan. No Intercooler yet But I do plan to add water/meth injection soon.
I use a NGK Airdex wideband.

I also have a 69' Pontiac Firebird that someday I want to turbo...I bought a Precision 76mm for it and a set of H-beam rods..The motor is already built N/A for now with Edelbrock RPM Alum. heads and Comp Valvetrain and 775 CFM Annular DP Carb. MSD ignition and a handful of other goodies...It has a Supercase Muncie 4 speed and a built rearend too.

The Monte Carlo is going to be out prowling by the end of this summer and the Firebird is at least 1-2 years off from now.

Hey everyone,
First off I'd like to say great job on the turbo specs and pictures of your projects. They're all awesome!

I have a 69 camaro BB454/TH400 like my signature says. I have always wanted to build a twin turbo car and hopefully one day will be able to. I am on a budget with my whole build so I can never afford a dart block, expensive fuel injection setups and all the expensive parts to build one (even though I wish I could:doh:). But I have seen different companies selling TT kits for SBC on EBAY and other places for relatively cheap (some complete kits as low as $750.00). What do you guys think of these kits?

I was thinking of eventually buying one and making/buying some BBC turbo headers and just using most of the other stuff that comes with the small block kit to adapt it to my Big block. This is something I feel comfortable in doing fabrication wise and its something I could realistically afford. I realize of course I will need to build the motor I have to handle twin turbos and would do defiantely that. I'd just like some input from you all that have built TT motors and what you think of my idea.

I'm not looking for a race car just a unique TT big block car that I built myself. I know buying a supercharger and bolting in on is the easy alternative but thats not what I'm looking for. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS!

I have been planning on a 283 for my Monza. Was thinking of trying (2) T3 or T4 such as the ones like they used on Fords 2.3 Tbird engines.
The turbo match program I found matched these same specs, and even (2) IH tractor turbos.
Still out in limbo on turbo project.

I started this thread in nov of 05, sure are lots of fun projects posted on here now, keep em coming! My project has been pretty much unchanged since I posted my stuff in 05, the last 3 years have sucked financially and extra time wise but I am still tinkering with my project. The next thing I need to do is buy some wheels then I can start on my frame build, I cant do much to the exterior or interior till I get the chassis done.

I've been putting in as much overtime as possible to save up, and I'm committing myself to run twin turbo. I'm still reading, and learning, but I am determined. I'm currently running a 396/375 with factory aluminum heads. I will probably get flack for wanting to turbo, but I can't help it. I'm committed.

I want to run EFI; Accel DFI Super Ram looks really appealing. I want to make my own plenum.

I still am reading more about how to build my system, and would love your opinions. I gotta do it.

Matt,
I'm personally a big fan of that type of manifold. We are trying something a little off the wall with project "no-buck". I pulled the plenum box off and made plates to adapt 2 4bbl throttle bodies onto the top of the tunnel ram. It's almost done...look for updates in the power adders forum.

IMO, the bore size on the 396 really won't take the best advantage of your cylinder heads, but the turbos will make up for a lot of that.

-I got the motor with a standard bore stock spec bottom end, and swapped solid mechanical for comp hydraulic roller cam and rockers.

-I want to find the ideal rotating assembly for turbo, and would really appreciate your opinions.
-same goes for turbo's, injectors, fuel system, etc.

Working on my nova at the moment. Im only into it 850 bucks so far. Its a budget build. Its a single turbo (5.9 diesel turbo) I had it rebuilt. I have a custom manifold that's getting a little work done to it right now. I'm hopping to get to 450-500 HP. The turbo is a 60 trim with a 1.0 A/R. It should spool real quick, my motor tops out at 5500 RPM so it should run pretty well with the flow of the turbo. I'm running a qjet carb but will prob be replacing it with a blow through set up. I'm only going to run 8lbs of boost.

I finally collected the last pieces I needed to start on a new frame for my 72 vette. I bought an extra frame and am doing a c4 suspension conversion on it which will give me a better rear end, better tires, lighter suspension components, better brakes and better steering.

Here is my current turbo toy:
This was just after I got it running a little over two years ago.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Since that picture I have changed the location of the air filter, added an intercooler (ran it for about 2 years without an IC, though I had the tubing routed out to where the FMIC was to be installed. lol), I have changed to DIS as well. I really need to get some updated pictures.
It was carburated and N/A when I got it, I used some stock Nissan parts and some custom parts to get it all together and working. It is running of a Delco (GM) ECM that would be found in the Turbo Sunbird and Syclone/Typhoon, with custom code and tuned by me. I can't wait for spring, the FMIC REALLY changed the way it pulled, way more than I was expecting. I should have built it much sooner. lol
I'm using a BW turbo pirated from a 6.5L Diesel, Ford 3.8L SC injectors (which will be replaced with larger ones this spring), Gm 3100 V6 TB with a custom adapter plate, and a bunch of other misc. parts. The exhaust is a 3" exhaust that I TIG welded and fits tight under the car, ended with a Moroso Spiro-flow muffler.

It is in this (also and old outdated picture):
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Here is an old video of it running a couple years ago, just after converting it to DIS.

http://vimeo.com/14016010

And old turbo project I built about 9 years ago, which has long since been pulled apart:
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

It was a 3.2L 60 degree V6, I started with a 1986 2.8L block, used a FWD 1992 3.1L crank, FM pistons, Ford 19 lbs/hr injectors (which were way too small), 1995 Buick Skylark 3100 heads and intake, home made headers, Ford Turbo Coupe T3 turbo, Mitsubishi Strarion FMIC, and many other misc bits and pieces.

i will be holding off on the LQ4 swap for a year or so, have another frame i will be modifying and will convert with the frame swap. i had a few issues with Holley bad intake casting, would not seal to heads properly causing vacume leaks, drove me crazy. After many tech calls and sending them gaskets and the intake base pointing out the defect holley sent me a new manifold. next problem defective injector.
i now have it running pretty good but the throttle response just does not seem real crisp, i also have some issue with WOT looks like i am runnign out of fuel pressure, have about 38psi idle under boost it will rise to about 42 and then start to drop. i am running a the Holley fuel pump and fuel reg, holley said the pump is good for 700 hp and the fuel reg will work in boosted applications. i bought a new ajustable regulator i havent swapped it since i think the issue is the pump.
i plan on driving this setup one more summer, if you have any tips ideas that would be great.
i am running 55lbs injectors and 10lbs of boost.

Thanks
Joe
what type of setup did you go with injector size, pump and regulator.

64duece
02-15-2011, 01:09 PM
Joe,

First thing you need to sort out is the fuel pressure issue. It needs to rise 1:1 with boost to keep fuel flowing.

Throttle response is in tuning and your combination. The Cmdr950 can be cumbersome with respect to the AE/TPS and AE MAP as there's no indication of movement. I usually recommend changing the entire row up/down as it's difficult to know which cell your using. AE vs TPS has the larger impact for what your describing. Next, check the timing...ensure it matches ECU vs balancer. Once you've verified that, you can check your curve to ensure you have optimum values.

700hp is a relative term. Relative to voltage and fuel pressure. I usually recommend upgrading after 650hp on moderate boost (-12psi and above). We use these pumps all the time as primary pumps and add a 2nd or an A1000/Eliminator/Pro Series pump in parallel for additional volume. They're super quiet and last awhile.

I know Holley had some issues with regulators on the Stealthram units. We had one or two calls about it. The adjustable regulator should get you sorted out. We've used those along with various injector sizes in a few blower/turbo cars. Six or seven years ago I ran a single turbo SBC with 160lb injectors and a Cmdr950 in the mid 7.60's @ 180+mph. We turned the boost back and ran consistent 8.50's all day. There are other options out there today but....they still can do the basics pretty well.

Thanks Dennis, i will get the fuel pressure issue addressed first. Good to know the 950 has the capabilities.

Running well at cruise, no detonation at modest 6-8 lbs boost on pump gas 93.Goals were appx 400HP and 10-12 # boost. Still issues with the EFI, some over- compensating dashpot function, I think, on deceleration at low gears , which is kind of a nuisance.https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2011/02/IMAG0171-1.jpg

Doing my research now to do a single turbo setup on a 68 Camaro with LT1/T56 setup. Hoping to find a very budget minded way of doing it. Looking for 450rwhp. Currently with mild ported heads/intake and cc306 cam and full bolt-ons looking at 350rwhp. So nothing crazy. I think a 100rwhp increase shouldnt be hard with 6 or 7psi on a stock rebuilt bottom end. Then down the road I can forge the bottom end and put a bigger turbo to look for much higher numbers.

Okay first off how the heck did you do a motor swap and all of the fab without hurting the engine bay.

Thx Marty

Turbo installs are always lots of creativity, patience & staring at it with a beer in hand for many hours! Many times asking "Where do I run this, how do I get that in there, What if I move that"

It did require new motor mounts and repaint of the front clip. Engine is 1" further forward due to longer input shaft and 1.5" taller then the SB Ford. Dry sump system help too. No crossmember issues to deal with.

lol - I remember doing that with Dave over at Comp Fab when we were working on my truck. However I was drinking Ice Tea had a small problem with the Liquor. Once we cut out the firewall it was so much easier to do.

You need to post some more pictures

Hey Larry. I spoke with you a few times about your build. I finally finished it. Here's my 15 pounds in a 5 pound sack...LOL43848438494385043851

How are things going on your ride? MotiV8r is going through a change. It's at JCG and a Holley Stealth Ram is going in.

This is a great thread. Ill try posting a few pictures of my hoop-ty. It's a 1970 chevelle, world products block/383ci, AFR's and a MPGT45 turbo, Tremec TKO and a 9 inch. My original goals were a 10 sec. quarter mile time so thats the direction I started heading with it. Well after I was introduced to this site a few months back I really want to build something that handles. I'll be adding some things here and there to my current build to help with handling but I need to stick to one path and just finish the damn thing. anyways- hoping for 600rwhp which I don't think should be a problem. Hope you people like it:

another, 3.5" down pipe to full 4" exhaust.

as you can see this picture is different than my first. I changed the routing of the down pipe for clearance issues.

LQ4, T56 and a Precision 7675. It's 99% done.

Can you give some more details and/or pictures on the air filter and inlet duct. Your turbo placement is very similar to my twins in '69 Nova, and I want to pull fresh air from somewhere behind the headlights.

I am going to hold off posting any pictures of my home built junk until it is a little more presentable. It's a pretty high bar set in this thread...

It's nothing fancy, just a 4" 90 degree silicone bend into a 4" piece of stainless pipe aprox 4" in length, going into a generic K&N cone style filter. If you look at the turbo from the top, it's clocked about 10 degrees clockwise. This was done so the elbow would clear the radiator. My tuner wasn't thrilled with the silicone elbow - he thinks a thicker rubber piece is better because the thin silicone style can suck themselves shut if the filter doesn't flow well enough. I didn't have that problem at 12psi.

Haven't been here for a while. It's been 2 seasons and it's running perfect with no problems just want more. Right now I have a stock 350 290hp GM crate pushing 5lbs. I built the system around this engine mainly as a mock up for a new motor. With this setup I'm around 400hp.Next summer a new engine is going in. I'm going with a fully forged Dart SHP block, Diamond pistons and AFR heads. All said and done I'll be running 15-20lbs of boost Hopeing for close to 1000hp. I will keep everyone updated.....
