Single Turbo Blow through Small Block Kits???
Hi Everybody! Im new here on A-Bodies, I have noticed That although everyone seems interested in turbo's for our cars, Kits and parts are hit and miss to do so. Im talking with some local turbo shops and Whole salers about Putting something together that I can afford that would appeal to everyone. This is in the very early stages, But at the very least Will happen for my 72 340 Duster . MY QUESTION IS... What would you guys like to see for installaition? E.G. Manifold material, Turbo locaition, Some cutting ok? NO cutting at all etc. I am all ears, If I can make this happen I would like everyone to be able to do this as well.
If this sounds good to anyone let me know!
I will also add pictures and info as it comes...
Joe,
You may, or may not be interested in my Vortech supercharged 360 Magunm build that runs approximately 116mph in 11.50s in a '72 Valiant 4-door sedan, at sea level. I wish I had turbocharged it instead, but I have no welding skills, and this was a do-it-yourself project, so I needed something I could bolt together. The engine is bone stock, including head gaskets, except for some very minimal bowl porting (no gasket matching, even, except for the valve train which includes a very mild Hughesperformance cam, stock roller lifters, and some heavy duty pushrods, springs and Crane aluminum roller rockers.)
The intake is a Power Products Air-Gap copy; the carb is a Carb Shop modified blow-thru 750 Holley d.p.
TTI headers and exhaust (2.5") H-pipe.
445 rwhp and commensurate torque.
Like I sed, stock everything else.
Snowperformance Boost Cooler meth injection; MSD BoostMaster ignition (analog.)
Here are some pictures.
Here are some pix....
The engine went from 260 rwhp to 445 rwhp with ten pounds of boost and changing from early 340 ex. manifolds to TTI headers (oh, and the P-Products intake which replaced an M-P dual plane.)
I really does feel like a big block through the mid rpm's. LOL!
