turbo 6 bangers post here
Not too much to post yet, but will get some pics very soon. The plan is a pretty simple setup that I'm taking most of the ideas from Pishta. I have a Ct-26 Turbo off of a 89 Supra. I am going back and forth on a 4 or 2 barrel but I think I am going to end up with a 2 barrel 350 holley, since a four barrel will require mechanical secondaries and to do so I will have to overcarb too much in my opinion as well as ease of tuning. 4 Barrel intake manifold, modified stock exhaust manifold. Also plan on making the car a driver that is as light as possible so my weight to HP should be pretty good. Right now I am just getting the head cleaned up to get the valve seats hardened and am mocking up a setup to get started on bending pipe.
Ill keep you guys updated.
By the way Bill where did you get the decal made and would it offend you if I got one for myself, I love it.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so how could I be offended by anyone who wants to copy my deal?
No, I am not offended; quite the opposite; I appreciate A LOT, that you like the decal and want one like it. I'd like to see it on ALL turbocharged slant six cars so those V8 guys would know what just blew by them...:cheers:
!'ll have to look up the guy's name who made them for me; he's a FABO member, or was... I haven't heard anything from him in a long time, but he knew what he was doiing and had fair prices! Nice guy, too...
But, it was a computer-generated image and he saved it, so duplicating it should be easy. He has all the equipment and knows how to use it.
He also made me a
"lookalike" hood callout decal in the same syle and size (and, color) as the "
340 WEDGE" decal that was featured on the hood of the 340 Dusters in 1971 and '72. It goes on a flat black hood and at about a 30-degree angle (maybe 45; I don't know.) Except, it says, "
234 turbo" instead of
340 WEDGE."
I'll send you his name in a P-M when I find it.... I was hoping somebody else might want some of those.
I think PISHTA is a really sharp individual and I like his turbo setup a lot!
I do think a Super Six intake (2bbl) would work well for you, along with a 350 or 500cfm Holley 2bbl.
PISHTA fabricated a really neato turbo mount out of a U-Bend and two flanges. If you can duplicate what he did, I think you'll be in good shape! I'd like to put together one like he did, myself! Cheap and effective!:cheers:
I'll get back to you on the decal!
Thanks for you interest.
