Let's get this slant turbo project started. 71 Dart

From purely what I have read, a one barrel carbuerated 225 with a t3 turbo is so wasted that its pathetic. What I mean is, a stock one barrel isn't good for a performance n/a slant. Then, if you run 10 psi thru it, its going to lack so much you'll be lucky to rev it to 3500. In other words, you'll pretty much have a gasoline engine with all the unwanted characteristics of a diesel. Matt Cramer(I believe...) Bought the turbo system from the article that most people see (the $300 one?) Maybe he'll chime in and say what he thinks firsthand. Personally, I wouldn't go smaller than a 350cfm 2300 series, on a modified or adapted super six intake. And for turbo, I dont know exactly what turbo would work the best, but a lot of guys use a GN sized t4, or I think even a large t3/t4 hybrid would work.


Hi Brandon,
Thanks for the feedback. I did manage to find a super six intake and I scored a 350 cfm 2300 holley setup for blow through so I may have jumped that hurdle. If I go crazy down the road a bigger two barrel is not that expensive. I always have my eye on ebay so I may stumble across another 4 bbl intake if money is burning a hole in my pocket for more power. From my BRIEF glance at the hanger 18 page on modifying a carb for blow through I may be able to pull it off myself. If not my Dad is a whiz with carb rebuilding and will probably bail me out if I get in over my head.

Thanks for suggestions on the turbo size and Grand national for a reference:cheers: That is something I can read up on now.
