another turbo slant build thread
Hi guys that first video you posted (10.74 66 Val.) is the inspiration for this and there is only one other built slant in MN and it's Procharged (supposedly 500hp and runs 11's) that and I wanna race a couple friends with V8 turbo cars and be able to beat them (331 stroker in a tubbed 64 falcon wagon, 350SB in a 71 Chevelle)
Where I live is mostly highway driving so it will be a mix of both more street than race car (although it will have the look of a race car)
I was planning on starting out at 10PSI and work up to 30MAX would a stock rotating assembly handle that? (stock CR and all) I really don't wanna get a new crank or rods as I plan to have the cylinders honed and the typical machine work done(cam bearings, frost plugs, magging, check line bore(s), hardened seats, 3-5 angle valve job, polish/turn crank, and myself doing some bowl blending before hand)
I already own the car and have owned it for the better part of 20 years it's a west coast car with 90K original miles I will not sell it (only one left- had 68 Charger 440 4 speed, numbers matching 70 Swinger340 Dart and this Demon)
plans for the chassis are:
Mopar Performance (MP) 3" leaf spring relocation kit
MP super stock leafs
possibly Cal-Tracs
adjustable Competition Engineering shocks and at all 4 corners
XV motorsports SFC's
6-10 point cage if higher point it will be custom made at a local shop (TNT race shop)- my dad is also handicapped so it will have swing out door bars
roller rear outer fender lips (after body work is done)
pound inner fenders in (or mini tub if necessary)
275 or 325 MT drag radials (325 if they fit- fingers crossed ahha)
fiberglass race weight hood(gutted hinges), front bumper, lower valance, bumper mounts, possibly front fenders
Summit plastic buckets and harnesses
no rear seat
looking at Holset HX40 turbo's- found a couple cheap on the bay...
I'll be making the turbo manifold what would be the best material? mild steel or?
what's a good Turbo safe cam mechanical or hyd.. REALLY don't matter to me I just like the simple- ness of hydraulic tappets- I like the Comp kits but will likely just sell the kit springs to my uncle and go with custom one's with a higher seat tension (however you measure the #(LB rating of valve springs)
what size intercooler should I look for?
will also likely be doing hardened valve seats
also likely go to -2"-2.5" I/C piping
basically a 10 second "grocery gitter-doner" (would like to long haul to the Mopar nat's and the Hotrod power tour with it)
Thanks Zac
