Everybody with turbo projects stop in and say hi

[edl406]

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]

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.

Here's my turbo project.. 1969 GTO clone with stroked 400 engine and T88 single turbo all stainless piping..

The pics are old... It will be finished next month!

[BB_Mike]

I'd love to see those pics Kiddi. Your engine bay isn't too different than my 71 chevelle.

496, twin master power 70mm, 60mm wastegates, not as nice as some but gets the job done. i will eventually make some stainless headers of it when time and funds allow. under the stock hood for the win.

Any of you running a hyd roller lifter with your turbo motors? I am trying to decide on a cam. I am running Trick Flow heads and an old school 70's 350 block with a stroker crank to make it a 383

Well very new to this forum building a 57 chevy 2dr post car with a Art Morrison chassis witha Steve Morris Racing Engines 572 bbc with twin F1 mdframe Turbonetics ball bearing turbos. Hoping for around 1600hp on pump gas. Also doing a 62 Bubbletop with a 572 620hp crate motor. Bubbletop is almost done and the 57 should ce done late in the year or first of next year

Nice!! Good to have you! Buuuut......

Lot's of sweet setups. My Wagon will be getting twin T61's to feed the 355 through an HSR intake. This will hopefully commence soon after the rack and pinion is setup, and the 3-link rear is complete.

Some info:

.030 over "010" 350 block (355ci)
Forged pistons, rods, and crank.
~9.0:1 Compression ratio
224/224 .488/.488 114lsa cam
Holley Stealth Ram
Syclone ECM
40ish# injectors
Innovate WB02
Twin T61 turbos, w/ antisurge housings, .96 A/R
3" DPs into oval exhaust, dumped Super 44's

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.

Here's my wagon so far... Hopin' to get around 700hp to the ground. We'll see.

that looks great, very good job!

I'm working the chassis right now ....... 4 link FAB9 coil-over rear & tube A-arm coils up front on my 46 ford coupe and the power will come from a SBC with a single intercooled 68mm turbo. A 5 speed will shift this ride into funsville.

Alston/Chassis Works is providing the chassis parts & hopefully I'll have it off the jig late summer & the intercooler mounting & headers can be built.

Time & money.

I wish I could afford the twin set up.

Way to own the page T.J.

Very nice.

[Chewy72ss]

It feels like I'm taking over this thread, but I gotta have an up-to-date picture!!!

[protour_chevelle]

Nothing nearly as fancy as the above, but done in my garage -25 celcius, no heater,... lots of fun.

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). 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!
