Hey everyone, may name is Prine and I am new on the forum.

Been lurking for a week or so checking the site out...This place is awesome, lots of many great Mopar People, and being a long time Moparts member, I am looking for a new crowd thats more A-body specific.

I do not currently own a A-body, but I have owned 4 in the last 10 years....and I sadly regret selling each one.

I am looking for "The One" that I will turbocharge and daily street drive.

I Look forward to mingling with everyone., and helping out anywhere I can.

When I do find "The One", I will publish my turbocharging build up here.

I work for Cummins Engine INC...thats all our plant does all day.

I am QA for production of the plant.

I have never put boost to a V8 personally, but know the mathematics of it, and will soon jump in head first.

I have a couple of prospect cars lined up, extra space in the shop, time, and "some"-limited funds...

thanks for the welcome.
 
Looks like some fun there! I've gotten most of the math down, i just need the money to turbo my cuda. Make sure you post up when you pick up a car! good luck with it
 
Welcome Prine....thank you for your Military service

Is the picture of the Cummins plant in New Mexico or is
it in my home town here in Columbus, Indiana

Hope you find "the car" to put the air to. I too, am into
boosting but mine are all 4 cylinders....keeps me young.

I'm 60 going on 18

You are correct. Cummins Natural Gas Engines in Clovis, New Mexico.

We specialize in High Horsepower (up to 1331 hp @ 1800 rpm) Natural Gas Power Generation and Gas Compression Industrial Engines.

thanks for the welcome
 
Hello there Prine and welcome aboard... So are you going to twin turbocharge a Hemi? LOL. That is my dream anyway hehehe.
I have done my share of turbocharging mostly European cars, you know 2.3L engines and a Hayabusa motorbike...
it is great fun espesially when you get it wrong and you end up with melted pistons but that is what you get when you are greedy LOL!
Enjoy the site and may you find an A body soon!

Welcome prine.
Don't let it slip away!! Looks like a good find.
 
looks like a decent car, but that white Dart or Valiant beside it might be more valuable. looks to me like a an AC Valiant. if it's a 2-door it is looking good, front wraps are out there.
 
Welcome aboard Prine....thank you for your Military service !

That turbo your holding is for the trucks? I'm a rail road worker. Used to work in the desiel shops. They had some preety big turbos on those engine. Stick you head in the sucker sized openings.

That Green machine looks preety good. What did they want for that one.
 
Not quite for "trucks", although that turbo would work on a BIG V8.

That turbo is (1) turbo from a Twin Turbo 38 liter V12 Industrial Engine.

Thanks for the appreciation, I have fond memories of my service, best group of Americans I could have ever served with, I have many still good friends from my time "In".

Asking price on MY FIND is classified....

thanks for the welcome.
