Ebay GT45 + 5.9 Magnum + E85 blow thru
I'm getting close to buttoning up my turbo conversion and thought I'd share some pics on my progress. Car is a 65 Valiant with a stock bottom end 5.9 Magnum and EQ heads. In it's current trim it runs the equivalent of low 12s, in the 1/8 mile. I'm hopping to make it more streetable and dip down into the 10s.
Build is an Ebay GT45, Ebay Wastegate and BOV.
I fabbed the hotside out of 2.5" mild steel. Downpipe will be a 4" necked down to 3" and then T'd into my existing dual 2.5" exhaust to the bumper. The downpipe is really all I have left as far as fab goes....and maybe a few other small pieces.
Carb is an older 4150 DP I converted to E85 blow-thru with the Quick Fuel metering blocks.
