I'm interested in anyones experiences but I do agree the biggest bunch should come from the slant guys. I think charlie s has been doing it since the 70s I believe. Dunno how much trouble he had out of it over the years though. Mine has less than a grand in it so far. 500 to 600 I think. The...

Hey all been a while since i posted but had an interesting question. Forgive me if it'sbeen aasked already. How many of you have turboed your cars on the cheap DIY idea and have had great results and lasted a while to boot?

Or you could do an adjustable wastegate mod to the wastegate rod. Should be fairly common knowledge on how to do it. I have this done to my grand national turbo. Unless the cummins turbos use a bent rod that i have seen on other turbos.

I was going to suggest lookin in the junkyards for factory turbo cars. For your 318 the tb348 turbo from a GN or T type buick or TTA transam. Also some Rivieras from the 80s had the same turbo engine. Twin tb348s should make your job of 14s a piece of cake as just 1 could get the buicks into...

Yes you can get away with no intercooler however it can limit how much boost you can run assuming your talking about no cooling of any kind (alky injection, air to water etc..) I've heard some people say 5 to 6 psi is the limit without some sort or cooling addition and some say you can run...

Actually most of us are using the super six manifold with a large 2 barrel to small 2 barrel adapter you can find about anywhere. Jegs, summit, even your local parts store or speed shop may have it sitting on the shelf. Its about 13 bucks so its real cheap. The usual holley everyone goes for is...

I believe in the turbo article on slantsix.org the guy is using a bbd. Been a while but should work with the 2280 holley too and all he did was increase the jets 14 sizes. I've heard that any carb can be modded for blow through infact I think I've read on this site that someone as a turbo single...

Np let us know what you find out.

Ill give this a shot. Im not familiar with jeeps but the basics should still apply. First off the stock map sensor is for the ambient sea level pressure of 14.7 (1 bar) that in theory an N/A engine take in out of open air. For forced induction you need at least a 2 bar map sensor. Depending on...

Well the pistons aren't anything special just stock replacement. Still not sure who makes the rings but whatever is standard in a rebuild kit which is just federal mogul I think. I'm only gonna be running 8-10 psi regularly and maybe go to 12 someday once I get a hang on the tuning aspect. So is...

The rings are from a rebuild kit they are just standard rings probably federal mogul. They are for 40 overbore but other than that I don't believe them to be anything special. So do I need to worry about gapping them or not?

OK guys I'm getting ready to put the pistons in and I read something about needing a different piston ring gap? How do I know how much the gap should be?

Can someone tell me difference between and side hung and a center hung 2300? Which one do I want for blow through or does or matter?

Holley 2300 is really hard to get a hold of I'm tempted to run a 4 barrel. I would be using an adapter for my 2 barrel intake and I'm plannin to wire the secondaries shut. I'm wonfering if this will cause any issues. I seem to recall some one on the. Org maybe that said it caused problems for...

Well if I thought I could get away with it or if I had a strip only car but this is a street car so it needs to pass inspection so muffler is a must. I have a cherry bomb 2 muffler on it but its not a straight though muffler and I'm guessing will have the same back pressure problems as the...

What is muffler(s) is everyone using for their turbo setups? I've heard not to use flowmaster because they make back pressure which is what you don't want in a turbo setup. So what are you guys using?

Shaker im very interested to hear about this 12.95 run you did. So you were completely stock except for a 2 barrel and a turbo? What carb did you use? How much boost did it take?

Well kid do you think ill have to make any mods at all? I can't imagine having to do any of that with only. 440 lift n stock compression. Also can you elaborate more on having to change the exhaust seats for boost? Do you mean that just new seats need to be put in? if that's the case then...

Actually guys im not talking about changing to hardened seats. Im talking about having to have the seats modified to run a bigger cam than stock. Not about modifying the seats to run modern gasoline. Misunderstanding I think. Kid I think you were on the right track at the end of your post. I...

Has anyone had to modify their valve seats to use a larger cam? The machine shop I had clean up my head said to use a bigger than stock cam I had to have the valve seats or some such ridiculous thing done before I could use it. I've built several engines with larger than stock cams and I've...

So then the more lsa you have the more boost you'll keep in the cylinders which would make more power so then maybe I should go higher in lsa than 112?

So then the lsa doesn't affect performance? Y do people say with forced induction you need a wider lsa? Surely it can't be just to quiet the sound down?

Shaker do you think the compcams cam on 112 lsa would perform better than the stock cam? I personally wouldn't mind having the slant sound good at idle so goin to a lower lsa would help that according to a previous poster but would it affect the performance?

Ok here's what im trying to do here. I want a fun lil street car. Weirdly enough its hard to get advice on it because most people running turbo slants are drag cars basically running lots of boost and lots of money spent. I don't plan to run anymore than what this wastegate runs which is about...

Well anyone else want to chime in? :)

Hmm so should I maybe have it ground higher than 112? Its for a slant 6 so its not gonna sound like a muscle car anyway. Would a higher lsa make more power?

Hi all I had a question on what lsa a turbo cam should be on. I recently had compcams recommend using the 244 I believe cam but have it custom ground on 112 lsa. Is this right? I was thinking it needed to be lower like 108 or 110? I don't know alot about forced induction cams. Anyone have a...

Hi all, Im turboing my slant 6 and am having a few issues with the blow through 2 barrels. The holley 2300 is the carb everyone goes after for blow through 2 barrels since its supposedly easy to mod. Problem is that it only came on fords n chevys and six pack mopars. So the linkage will not...
