PISHTAS turbo build

Anyway....SWEEEEET setup on the /6 Valiant!

Thanks for the kind words!

Before you get any notions about me being some sort of pioneer/trail-blazer with this combination, know this: This car is NOT MY IDEA... I am, ABSOLUTELY, not smart enough to figure any of this out on my own... seriously...


My setup is a bald-faced copy of Ryan Peterson's '66 Valiant, as closely as I could build it. Tom Wolfe helped me, immensely, to traverse the relatively un-charted waters of turbocharged slant sixes. Both his engine and Ryan's make about 500 flywheel horsepower, and I will be lucky to get within shouting range of those engines, power-wise, but, I have to try. They both run 25-28 pounds of boost... I am starting out with 10, hoping to get my chassis sorted out at that lesser number, and will increase the boost at a later date when I feel I know a little more about what I am doing.

In the meantime, I am gathering what information I can, and assimilating the myriad bits and pieces as my 76-year-old brain will allow.

Don't worry; ten pounds of boost on a slightly-modified slant six in a 2,700-pound car, will get your attention. it will! I'd guess somewhere in the mid-to-high 13's... (quarter-mile e.t.)
