Let's get this slant turbo project started. 71 Dart

From purely what I have read, a one barrel carbuerated 225 with a t3 turbo is so wasted that its pathetic. What I mean is, a stock one barrel isn't good for a performance n/a slant. Then, if you run 10 psi thru it, its going to lack so much you'll be lucky to rev it to 3500. In other words, you'll pretty much have a gasoline engine with all the unwanted characteristics of a diesel. Matt Cramer(I believe...) Bought the turbo system from the article that most people see (the $300 one?) Maybe he'll chime in and say what he thinks firsthand. Personally, I wouldn't go smaller than a 350cfm 2300 series, on a modified or adapted super six intake. And for turbo, I dont know exactly what turbo would work the best, but a lot of guys use a GN sized t4, or I think even a large t3/t4 hybrid would work.

I think that is all very good advice. The 2300 is available in 350 and 500cfm sizes, and either one would probably be fine for this application. Definitely avoid the one-barrel.

Tom Wolfe (SHAKER223 on FABO) once bolted a Buick GN turbo onto an almost stock 225 slant six (I think it had a 4bbl intake manifold and carb; otherwise, was bone stock) and boosted it up to 18 pounds of pressure and it ran 12.95 at 104 mph... That was an engine with over 100,000 miles on it which had never had the head removed. Tiny valves and all...

Of course, you won't want to run 18 pounds of boost, but with the water/alky injector, you should be able to get away with 10 pounds on pump gas with no problems, and still go pretty fast... like somewhere in the 13's, probably.

That's a fun ride! :)
