wanna see my turtle?

[BARRACUDA340S]

I had a turtle installed by Andy Dittmer. His Dad I guess invented them. Brodix uses them. It's supposed to really increase TQ and give some HP. I'm hoping it will help out on the bottom end. He said I would need to jet down 2 sizes front and rear.

:shock: never seen one before :shock:
I want to know if that works :!:
Nice work :!:

Looks cool. When are you going to install it?

 

[BARRACUDA340S]

I'm gonna start polishing the intake and it will be spring before I get it back on. I've got a ton of work to do to the car before I get it back on the road. I'm going back to the chasis dyno this spring to see the results.

 

[onehellofadart]

Would love to hear the results!! :thumrigh:

Hey..i've seen them in the M1 intake manifolds for the magnum motors.

 

[mikesduster]

what do they cost and how do you install them??

 

[BARRACUDA340S]

about $65 and the can either be epoxied in or screwed in from underneath.

After what your car did to you're new Dana 60, how much more bottom end do you need :shock: I know.....Too much is never enough

 

[Cuda66]

Did I miss something? Did you trash the Dana already?

 

[AdamR]

The rear lives. It was just the wheel studs and caltracs that got hurt.

 

[BARRACUDA340S]

I bent the perches too :roll: I need more bottom end to get a better launch without side stepping at 6 grand.

So, do you use a Spreadbore or Squarebore on that Turtle? I don't quite understand the science of the design.

 

[Mopardude]

I don't understand either this goes against everything I thought I knew which wasn't much to begin with. Is the turtle trying to make the swirl effects that a 2 stage intake with a big spacer? Kinda give you the best of both intake styles mega torque and high rpm's?

 

[Locomotion]

I would think it basically smooths out and directs the flow!
Think of it as a mirror-image of a Super Sucker-type carb spacer!
Air and fuel flow doesn't like sharp edges or running into flat surfaces.

 

[BARRACUDA340S]

locomotion, did you get my email with Andy's number? he's a cool guy. He will install the turtle for free if you send him your intake. I would imagine he could do anything custom that you need to meet the rules of your class.

 

[Locomotion]

Yes, I got it! Thank you very much.:thumleft:
I've been busy getting things ready for my first race this coming weekend.
I'll try to call later this week. Don't wanna disturb anybody during the SuperBowl! :cheers:

Wish I could be saying the same! We have a couple more months to go until Mopar driving season gets here.
