    Purple Cam for boost

    http://www.cranecams.com/product/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=23807 I found out this is the cam I have. Okay for low boost on a gt45 turbo around 7psi on a 318?

    Purple Cam for boost

    Honestly I am not sure. When I pull it I will look at the numbers. I'm new to old domestics. I didnt know there were different purple cams.

    Purple Cam for boost

    So my uncle gave me a 318 for letting him store a 440/727 in my garage until he got the body work done on his charger. When I was over picking It up he had a 360 short block on the floor. I asked why it was laying on the floor not covered and he said to look at the first piston. His buddy got...

    twin turbo question

    So ive only ever dealt with single turbo set up cars, and when the turbo makes says 10psi thats what the motor gets. But say you have small twins so you arent waiting on lag and each is set to 8 psi. We will say they are the same size, non sequential. Just true twins in parralel. Does it stay as...

    VX 35 in So Cal

    Ive had a few guys tell me it would work great. Also had someone tell me its to small for a single on a 318, which makes no sense as it is intended to shove air in a 19:1 compression diesel motor. I personally think itd be a little large unless youre actually building the motor completely for...

    3 questions about 6s

    Holy jeez. To be honest, in my every day cars i use whatever is on sale at oreillys with a jug of oil. Now my talon i always paid more, usually buying wix. I didnt know fram had a high performance section. Only like the tough guard. But thanks everyone for your input. But until i get it built...

    Thanks! I was strongly considering the hx35 already. I didnt know if 3 would be enough, might just go 3.5". Thanks again!

    3 questions about 6s

    How big of a turbo is recommended for say a 10psi build of stock 225? With turbo options, what size exhaust? I was thinking 3" with a bullet muffler, just enough to not blow ear drums. And last what weight oil? I ran 10w-40 full synthetic mobil 1 in my 93 talon tsi. I was think 5w-40...

    170 vs. 225

    I think 9:1 is a pretty good boost number. Thats what i ran in my talon. 8:1 would allow more boost but the pick up and spool wouldnt come until higher rpm

    170 vs. 225

    That was my plan for the manifold. 2.25 or 2.5 inch j pipe with whatever flange i use turbo wise. I'm going to look around to see what i can find turbo wise. I can easily get my hands on a holset hx35. The nly problem there is the high wastegate but that can be adjusted. Might be to much for the...

    170 vs. 225

    Bill thats good insight. Thanks for posting. I think im going 225 if i can get my hands on one. For this scenario what turbo should i look into. Because 10 pounds on a small turbo is nothing like 10 pounds on a large turbo.

    170 vs. 225

    I understand both sides. I had a 93 eagle talon tsi that low end power wasnt huge but get about 3500 and up to 7500 rpm it screamed. Im guessing it would be the same for the 170. Where as my cousins v6 turbo had more off the line with the larger 3.0 but couldnt get it to breathe as long. Which...

    170 vs. 225

    The 170 would give me the higher revs, but as a street toy i dont know how often i would need big revs. And the slightly bigger motor would probably be better for messing with v8 cars around town. Thanks everyone for your input.

    170 vs. 225

    Talking to people on the / board, they said that the 170 shorter stroke would probably be better with a turbo. I hadnt thought about that in my looking. I know my duster was a factory 225 with a 3spd. I was going that way for that reason. Can someone give me pros and cons to boosting each...

    Turbocharger for 318 project

    What size wastegate would work best with the turbo? The two main reasons i liked the holset is how cheaply i can pick one up (seems like everyone around here has a cummins they have swapped or are swapping) and the fact theyre ingernally gated which seems easier to run on a custom fab.

    Turbocharger for 318 project

    I know this is a dead post, and i dont mean to hijack but would a cummins holset hx35 work for 318 street car? I dont want 5-600 hundred horse. Just some added fun. I was thinking about a 318 with 360 heads and a turbo. Is the hx35 to small for a single? I figured itd do okay on a little 318...
