Hey guys I was thinking of getting rid of the NOS and going with a turbo for my new combo since I have a year to build it. :clap:

I was thinking the Turbonetics T-66 turbo. Anybody else have an ideas on which one to go with?

P.Meister

What are the specs of the motor? What are your goals for the vehicle? What are the specs on the exhaust you plan on running? Do you big top end power with a later spool?

Turbo's are a lot more involved than other power adders. If you can provide more info, please do.

have you looked into pre-made kits?

Paul has it. We need your full plans for the future including the power you want to achieve. Will thgis be a street or strip car? or both? road course? Please give a percent of how much street and how much strip.

Well this is my plan and I plan on sticking to it. :teeth:

D.S.S 331 Stroker Shortblock
GT-40P Heads with massive work done
FRPP E-303 Cam
C-4 Automatic with a 4000 stall and trans brake
8.8 rear with 3:55 or 3:73 gears
T-66 Turbonetics turbo
38mm Tial wastegate with 15psi spring
750 CSU BT Carb
Water to Air intercooler

I am looking to get 7-800hp at the wheels to get me across the line in the 9's, and yes this will be a strip only car.

If there is anything else you need to know please ask :thumb1:

With your setup above you would see about 600-650 to the wheels.


IMO there are a few thing you should change especially if its a strip car.

I would dump the heads for better units, but they will work but it will just create more boost as they will be a restriction on your setup.

The DSS short will not hold up to those power levels unless you get a dart or world block (3800 ish with maching for the block with no rotating assebly) Stock blocks can safely handle about 450-500 WHP. You might want to try a 351, the can handle up to 750 WHP, after that you again looking at a aftermarket block.

C4 and a TB will work really well. You will need a tight converter, most turbo guys dont go above 3000 stall. Get a locking converter for that nice top end charge and MPH.

You shoiuld go a little bigger on the turbo. A 66 mm will have to be pushed pretty hard to make 800 HP. You should be looking at a Garett GT-42 (76mm) and around a .96 A/R hot side. If you can afford the ball bering option I would go for it.

Bigger wastegate would be better. Look for around the 42mm form tial.

The e-303 is a crappy cap, its falls off too early. Get a custom grind or if your on a budger grab an F-303. Brent at turbomustangs.com is making 1100 HP with his.

I know a carb seup will work, but I will leave comments to other because I am a fuelie guy.

for the above you wont need a water IC setup. A good air-air will work well but it will be big.

the 8.8 will hold up but you will need internals. If its strip only I suggest 33 spline axles, spool, and a 3.27 gear. Your combo will not be a hight rever. You might even need to drop to a 3.08


...again this is just my experience I have gather building my turbo car. DO you plan on making your own or buying a kit?

Thanks Speedtospare for the info. I will definitly look into a few of your suggestions. Also I have not really decided to either build my own or just buy a kit. I have checked out the HP kits but havent seen one for a BT set-up. Is there any other companies that make kits?

Again thanks for the info :thumb1:

Speedtospare

My suggestion will allow you to go a little bigger. You can make enough HP to get into the 9's with your setup but you will be pushing 17-18 PSI and will need full drag suspension.

HP is a good company. 2 of my club members have those kits and they work very well. One guy with a dart block 331 is making 660 HP on pump gas. That pretty impressive for how mild the motor is.

Heres the best comparison I have seen.

My suggestion would be to talk to Jeff over at www.ponydown.net (or PM him on turbomustangs.com...he goes by ziptie). Being from windsor, like me, it's nice having him just across the border. he does nice work, his prices are great, and his customer service is incredible.

Speedtospare

The price is right on those kits but do your research on log style kits befere you buy. Both style kits have there advantages and disadvantages.

he's only got one log header...the rest of his stuff tubular headers

i got the log style because it was the cheapest and i can easily make enough power to split the stock block in half with them lol
