Definitely an awesome thread, how much did it cost you to get the stock manifold done up like that?

Jeff I cut the manifold and prepared it myself the turbo flange cost me 15 dollars and I had I local welder do the welding for me he charged me 10 bucks so with some time and 25 dollars u see what I got
I'm very happy with the results

I was reading one of your first posts in this thread about the turbo that you plan to use and wouldn't it be a better idea to have a turbo that started making boost at lower RPM's and not top out at such a high rmp since slants tend to top out at a pretty low RPM

Just a thought

Well that is awesome. I am looking into turboing a slant and throwing in a 4speed OD tranny so I can use it as a daily driver car.

One BIG difference in a normally-aspirated V8 car (small blocks in particular) and a turbocharged /6 is that in order to get the best quarter-mile performance out of the V8, you need a rear axle ratio somewhere in the mid-to-high-4's or low 5's so that the engine is at its power peak as it goes across the finish line... usually around 6,000 rpm or higher, whereas the turbocharged /6 motors seem to like final drive ratios in the high 2's, or low 3's, making them good street cars in terms of rear axle ratios.

I know this sounds bizzare, but Ryan's car and Ton Wolfe's cars both have responded to this practice the same way; they have gotten faster and quicker as they have each changed their final-drive numbers into the twos.

Something about a turbo engine responding well to "being held back" like a nitro motor...


That would seem to nullify both the utilization of a manual 4-speed overdrive and the avoidance of a 904-type automatic transmission, as highway driving would be ideal with the 2-series of final drive ratios with the turbo /6 engines!!!

Food for thought...
 
Well that is definately something to think about that then. I did not know that. As far as turbo selection what are the best turbo's to get that are still a reasonable price. I was looking into the Garrett GT32 family turbo's. I was also thinking about using a stock 2.2L turbo off a Daytona or a Charger or something along those lines as they are usually pretty easy to get. I am also kinda a neat freak on certain things so I would want the inside of the engine bay to be as... "organized" as possible. I really like the way that you modified the stock manifold and am planning on doing the same thing.

you have a lot of bowl work to do! and grind those bumps for the valve guides into nothing!

Kid how's this look I got about 20 hours into this head and I still got to do the combustion chambers then I can get it to the machine shop to get fitted for new valves and springs and to get shaved and O-ringed

I made my turbo selection after reading shakers and Ryans builds there making the numbers And turning in the kind of time slips that influenced this build I had all intention of building a V8 but they prove u can go fast with a slant
I to plan on putting a 833 in I have a OD and a standard 833 also i bought a 8.75 with 4.56 gear but like Bill said that's way to much gearing Ryan and Shaker are using high 2's and shifting at around 5500 rpm's witch I never would have guessed that !!!!!!!
As far as the turbo goes I got a great deal on it and its comparable to Ryan and shakers
