Welcome!!! No bash from me!! I am new to the Turbo thing and getting ready to twin my 383 in my 68 Barracuda.
ANY info. about this turbo thing is greatly appreciated as far as I am concerned. Nice ride by the way!!
 
Did you race that car at Mopars at the Rock earlier this year? I swear I saw that car there.

Hadn't been to the Rock in a few years....back in 07 I had the car there......

Preciate all the kinds words from everybody also...IU'll keep thread updated the next couple weeks as I get everything bolted back together.
 
Another Ebay Turbo set up, right on!

You are obviously not new to the Boost game and you are choosing to use these turbo's also sold off ebay, I noticed that they cost about $480.00 or so each. They are alot bigger than the GT45 Ebay turbo's I am using on my build.

If you can go 140MPH in the eighth with them Damn man that is frickin FASTTTTT!!

Keep us all posted with your progress. And yes your E Body has more room than My A body for plumbing! LUCKY............
 
Mopar + Mopar engine = all good. Add a couple of big, nasty, turbos = even better.
Seeing a chevy engine in a Mopar is sickening.
 
Welcome and wow, that first picture is pretty amazing. What is the set-up on the top of the intake manifold? Some kind of throttle body it looks like?
 
Wooooooo hoooooooooo, what a sweet beast that is!! No apologies necessary ... you'll never get bashed around here.

Especially with a ride like that. :-D More pics!!

Make yourself at home and enjoy the best Mopar site on the net. You'll love it here.

Here's a better shot of the Indy intake with my homemade 3.5" to 3" aluminum 90 cut off an old diesel turbo and 75mm TB...old intake was 340 victor with homemade fuel rails...

I'm off the next few days so should get it fired up!:cheers:
 
I have decided to buy the exact T88 Turbo you have. Do you or someone you know have any experience with these turbo's??? I had planned on using 2 GT45's but due to room issues I have chose to use 1.. Can you elaborate????

Good news! Who will be doing the tuning on the new set up?? Will it go to the chassis dyno?
Click to expand...

Will be going to a buddies who owns local LS1 shop that has a mustang dyno...and I will be doing the tuning myself.


Will be able to do load testing and numerous conditions on his dyno so I can really tweak....can't wait.....

bout time to get outside and tinker...glad we had an extra hour added last night, I sure was wore out.

That is great that you can use your buddy's Dyno and have the knowledge to do your own tuning!
