Something like this would work nicely, IMO. The turbine housing is a little big for what you're doing but it should still spool up nicely. Very common turbo for 4-6 cylinder turbo builds. It comes with both water and oil cooler ports, but only oil is needed. You can plumb it for water if you...

I've got Maximum Boost. There is some good information on how turbocharging works, but a lot of the info is outdated. Seriously, imo the best knowledge base for turbocharging is http://www.theturboforums.com. ESPECIALLY when it come to blow thru setups.

You've done your homework. I like the vent extensions, they made a big difference in my last build when I was struggling to get it rich enough. What was the timing set to before starting the turbo build? How much boost are you planning to run? Looks great btw!!

Yup. I can't see the price on my phone but much of that stuff you don't need.

How much timing are we talking here? If your timing is currently 35 and you need to take out 5 degrees for boost, why not just curve the distributor for 30 degrees? It's not ideal but if cheap is the main priority then it would work. Better than just running with the distributor locked all...

I've been saving my pennies for one of those programmable 6al boxes and will be ordering one before the end of the month. My car has needed another degree or two of initial timing for 2 years and I just haven't wanted to mess with it. I can't wait to not have to mess with mechanical springs...

I can't watch that video on my ipad, and I couldn't find any specifics on the car online. Do you know them? I don't consider this a fair comparrison though, it's not quite the same thing as either a hard working deisel engine or a turbo'd stock engine street car.

The water cooled center section is not needed. Even if you get a turbo with a cooled center section you don't have to hook it up. The only thing the cooled center section does is help keep oil from cooking inside the turbo and gumming it up. On the surface that sounds like a great thing, and...

This turbo would work for what you want, but there's no need to jump on this particular one and sit on it. That's about the right price for a good used one.

Properly set up, water/meth can cool better than an air-to-air, so yeah, no problem. Personally, my only problem with using water/meth in a blow thru setup is that the methanol can affect the air/fuel mixture, and if the system is tuned to utilize that extra fuel and it's suddenly lost (like...

The reason deisel trucks have such huge intercoolers is because a) they run much higher boost pressures (25+ psi) and b) the turbo stays in some sort of boost more of the time, especially when hauling, both of which generate quite a bit of heat. For a low boost application, 5psi would be ok...

That turbo (hx35) would be a good fit for a /6, up to ~450-500 bhp while still being somewhat efficient. Still a little too small for a 318, definitely too small for a 360. You can't compare diesel turbos based on displacement. It's an apples to oranges comparison.

http://www.superchargerusa.com/chrysler_bk_street_strip.htm Edit: I read "471" as "671", and this company only lists 671 blowers for sb mopars. I wonder if they could help you fit a smaller unit with one of their manifolds. It would be worth a shot.

Magnum truck manifolds.

That's what I'm talkin about. Looking great! I bet you're starting to get excited.

You're killin' me, Smalls.

If you're looking for a junkyard type of build, the Holset HX35 would work well with a /6. The Cummins guys are always upgrading their stock turbos so you should be able to find a good one pretty cheap. The compressor is rated at 60 lbs/min so it should be fine in the 400-450 hp range while...

Wastegate can't be too big, if you find a 44mm you like, go for it. You could run a 60mm if you wanted no problem. The only thing you want to avoid is one that is too small. That shouldn't be a problem if you pick up a 44mm. Plus it'll cover you if you decide to upgrade your turbo later. I...

No way, if anything it's too small, even for what you're planning.

This is a popular option. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RS-SERIES-60mm-V-BAND-TURBO-WASTEGATE-5-5-TALL-12-14-19-31-PSI-garrett-kkk-borg-/380445472261?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5894513605&vxp=mtr

Apples to oranges. That turbo is too small for a single setup, but would be perfect for twins though. If you want a cheap single then this is what you need. Perfect for up to ~600 hp and your 318 will spool it no problem...

If you like the Flowmaster sound, just install a couple small mufflers or resonators before the Flowmasters. Something like a Magnaflow or Dynomax bullet would work.

It looks like they haven't updated the site since 2007. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

In the collector is fine.

You could always throw it on a dyno and make some pulls. Most places charge a reasonable amount for 3 pulls with wideband, just no tuning.

I've been running an AEM wideband for a year and it's worked like a champ. Here is a great deal on one for $166, that's almost $100 less than I paid for mine last year. AEM 30-4100 UEGO Controller Gauge:Amazon:Automotive Edit: For some reason the link isn't working, but just search Amazon...

I was just planning on running off the gate at first(5 psi), then maybe a boost controller. Baby steps, lol.

Treed! Haha, looks like I've made a good choice then!

The gt45 is hard to beat for sure. You don't have to go through the trouble of finding the early exhaust manifolds, any will do. The slightly larger exit of the early units won't be any better than the later ones. Speaking of exhaust size, don't build your crossover pipes (hotside going...
