Lots of fabrication, lots of money if you want it to be built to handle the boost, not to mention the trans, rear etc.advice from someone that knows... How much trouble and what size to run twin turbos on a blow thru carbed 360?
I gotta do a rear anyway,7.25 now. Tranny I knew. Not first forged engine I've built. Same stuff as if I put a Bigblock in it. Just no turbos.Lots of fabrication, lots of money if you want it to be built to handle the boost, not to mention the trans, rear etc.
Just read some of the other threads... just pick your flavour.advice from someone that knows...
sweet, where in Indiana are you located?I gotta do a rear anyway,7.25 now. Tranny I knew. Not first forged engine I've built. Same stuff as if I put a Bigblock in it. Just no turbos.
Muncie area.sweet, where in Indiana are you located?
ah i see. I'm a little south of you near ColumbusMuncie area.
can`t imagine twin turbo anything in a 68 barracuda! small engine bay .Close for parts.lol
if they can fit an elephant in there, they can fit a twin turbo small block.can`t imagine twin turbo anything in a 68 barracuda! small engine bay .
Add oversize heads, forward struts to handle more power, at least 2" headers, oversize radiator, w/ a shroud ! it gets tight. for you that don`t know, a hemi is way easier to work on than a big wedge.My thoughts too. I thought it would be easier with 2 smaller twins..?
Thanks! What do you think about a blower setup like Paxton or others like it? Any opinions?In some areas it may be easier but you'll have twice the turbo oil feed and return lines, a Y pipe for the intake/intercooler that will merge the compressor pipes, exhaust plumbing for both turbos discharge, two turbo mounts that bolt to the block, two wastegates and the boost lines for those, two intake filters and cold air intake pipes for them, all the added exhaust flex couplings if you need them.
The only real thing that makes it simpler is not having to do a crossover pipe and merger for a single turbo and the passenger side header is a pain in general. I liked a single setup on fabo where he put the turbo right in front of the water pump and had the compressor face the intake. Looked pretty slick. Lots of different styles of doing things and your ride is a blank canvas. Browse around a lot and get the best game plan for your time and money.
My single turbo won't beat twins but I build boost around 2500 rpm in a 318 with a 62-1 turbonetics .84 a/r at high altitude.
If you're set on it, go for it, there's lots of folks here to help you out.
Hey T56MT,
Is there a picture of the single turbo set up that places the turbo in front of water pump?
Thanks!
