All of this 60* turbo talk is making me horny...! It's like a soap opera, or something, but mechanical porno type....

Doward

A couple things -

TomP (and the rest of you guys) tell ya'll what... this all works out, the first kit I sell is gonna buy me a nice, new mig, that'll weld anything and everything. I'll be building all sorts of things for the 2.8!!

19pph are good till about 200hp. When I upgrade, 36 pph injectors will feed me till over 400hp. I'm just a bit worried about pw of the injectors @ idle with that sort of injectors size!

Remember guys, no one's done this. I'm not being stupid, and going out looking for 20+ psi and 500hp IMMEDIATELY. 200hp is a HEALTHY increase over stock, and all the parts will handle it, no problem. That's my starting point. I hit that, then I want 250, then 320. Anything over 320 is gravy, as far as I'm concerned.

I got a $500 4 power settings dul mig welder for $260
[mild, stainless and aluminum] but it does not come with a fan system installed, just the over load. So I get only about 5 mins of constant welding before it shuts off for a few mins. Its kind of lame but well worth the price difference.

Doward

Where'd you pick that up? I can always build a fan for it :sillylol:

rx7speed

I don't know now
something caught my attention about that post you made



so that was just what I picked out I think



but now that I look back I think a lot of it had to do with rev line on the rotary

there redline isn't limitless

problem is you start to run into e-shaft flex and that can cause some SERIOUD problems

13k might have happeend once or twice yeah

I know at 70ish I shifted my car into second once.. it happens




but you keep that up for long and you could easily start to tear stuff up

funstick

i got a p/h driver box thatll run down to 1msec. its a pretty easy wire up.so 92pph would be the limit.

Doward

Sweet... how about the stock 302 tho? I think 24-36pph should be fine on it....

F585

Doward 1 more question about the turbo kit last one for now! Can you work with headers and if you can do I have to send them to you? thanx Dowy

Gumby

"Yep a fan would be very easy to install"

The 220v one they got is sweet. It is worth it also, big time.
I shopped around for ever and could not even come close to the one I got for $260. Most stores has the 2 power one for much more and ones similar to that one are around $500.

It works good. Welded a bracket for my shock back onto my wagon.
[ It had ripped the bolts out of the a-arm.]

and I made a nice steel stand for my new 8in goose neck buffer.

Gumby

He does have the best deal in town on the 12 ton pipe bender but after shipping its cheaper to pay $100 at harborfreight.com

Lee7

he would have to send specially made turbo headers (usually called exaust manifolds) to you.

You would not be able to use whatever headers you currently have.

Doward

Not quite. The system I"m building uses the stock manifolds (for ease of use/design/whatever.

If you get some headers, I'd have to make 2 new pipes (the two that bolt to the Y pipe for the turbo... if I had a set in my possesion, it'd be nothing to make them

72opelgt

i doward i love your project but someone has done did what you are done doing
he first of swaped to gen 2 fwd aluminum heads and intake and also turbocharged it i will ask him asap what it is going in but if you look through his pics he had a f body intake and heads the went that way so thats what im guessing http://www.domesticcrew.com/raven/James/Hybrid%20pics/
whatever is is it is bad *** so is your
nice simple use what you got approach
cant beat that with a stick
also for all of yall how have 60 v6 or what ever learn some **** on www.60degreev6.com

Doward

Um... off one side of the exhaust?

Wow... no offense... but I'd expect something... cleaner for a first turbo setup... what kind of car is that in?

Doward

Spot anything out of the ordinary?

Cold Dark Shado

Yea your missin 2 cylinders

Just playin, nice intercooler location

F585

I see the intercooler

Doward

Nice eyes! Here's a close up...

Doward

I'm thinking of getting a 10" fan or so to mount on it... whenever it goes into boost, have the fan kick on.

Or have it on a switch, so I can kick it on for a little extra cooling heading down the track!

Cold Dark Shado

man your gettin closer and closer. cant wait to see it down

Shiney IC

F585

Yeah almost there
I might add that I saw it before you Adam! It took me longer to reply because no keyboard!

Cold Dark Shado

LOL just remember im sneaky sneaky


A fan would help that IC, a manual on/off switch would be cool with it

Nixon1

Yes, and put a label on the switch that says "Turbo Boost". Knight Rider style. Oh yeah.

Doward

Just won the BOV... $50 for a turboXS Type H - normally almost $200.

biff85ta

I just read this post today and all I have to say is good luck man and when you get it done I want to see times not dyno numbers.

Doward

I'll have both... no worries!

Xophertony

why do you not have a keyboard? i gotta hear this story.

hell yes!!!

http://www.knightreplicas.com

there site has a link to the classifieds section at thirdgen.org i thought that was cool.

F585

I smashed it over my cousins head wen he pissed me off and it was raining keys:sillylol:

iTrader: (1)

nice score!!! I need to pick up a BOV myself..now way I'm not running one with the turbo I'm putting on..

Dale

iTrader: (12)

Doward, I hadn't read this in a while, nice to see things are coming together.

I agree, 19 injectors should be fine for now. Once you start bumping up psi, or other go go items, will need to upgrade them as well.

That engine you seen with aluminam heads, etc. That is in an old school s10 blazer, with a 2.8l rebuilt block under it. He did some verbal helping on my s10 engine swap.

Cant wait to see a video of you and here that "pshhh" sound as you go

Nixon1

Question is what is the sound of that BOV? All BOV's sound different. Some hiss, some chirp, some make a sound like they're barking the tires... I personally like the hisses and the chirps...

Y2KFirehawk

Just for reference here is a GSX (since the turbo being used is from a DSM anyway! ) with an aftermarket BOV. What kind of sound do you consider this to be?

http://www.strongwelding.com/~jscher...gsx102202a.avi

AM91Camaro_RS

hey, what kind of intake was that on the motor that had the aluminum heads? and would it work in a camaro without a bunch of electrical issues?

Nixon1

WW...definitely a hiss...but higher pitched. And a nice one too. That is one sweet BOV.

Doward

I want that BOV! Not sure what the type H will sound like on my Camaro, but here's a clip of it revvin' in neutral (only a couple psi)

http://www.fastwrx.com/lib/fastwrx/typeh.mp3

Not a very good clip... but you get bet your rear when I get to the track, I WILL be getting a sound clip, and movie clip (if I can!)

Oh yeah... the Type H BOV is rated to 30psi, and sounds off @ 110db+ from 3 feet away.

Yeah, it should be REALLY loud.

72opelgt

hey if you look through the pics some more he made a cross over that goes to the turbo but the intake for the aluminum heads is the stock gen 2 fwd intake just turned 180 i asked him baout possible f body computer adaption he said prob not because there is no distributor much less a spot to mount it so you would have to use the fwd computer aswell but those heads have greater potential than the cast iron
splayed valves like a bbc heart shaped combustion cambers great porting can be done larger valves than a carb motor but the down falll is the exhaust ports are further apart than on the cast iron heads so you will need to modify fwd headers or make your own

Doward

Exhaust gets flared tomorrow... should have the piping welded up Friday.

F585

How long until it's up and running?

Doward

I have -

• Turbo (and placement)
• Intercooler (and placement)
• Turbo Chip (I guess that's what I should call it?)
• Mandrel Bends
• Exhaust Tubing
• Steel Bracketry

I'm waiting for -

• TurboXS type H Blow off valve
• 19pph Injectors

I still need to buy -

• Oil line and related hardware (T fitting and bulkhead connector for the oil pan)
• Water related hardware (running from the TB coolant system)
• Boost gauge
• Conical Air Filter

Still need to do -

• Weld the two tubes up
• Build flange for Y fitting (turbo to pipes)
• Build downpipe
• Build brace for turbo
• Run intake tract

A week or two more. If I can have the piping all done Friday, I'll be set to have the turbo in, and this weekend. I won't be actually running it until next week, when I get teh boost gauge in.

Here's hoping!

Gumby

D,

I know you have already started working on placement but them with the turbo up into the hood or into the body work looks really trick. Like a ram air turbo.

Matt

89camaroRSV6

doward ,

i was just curious are you gonna run the MAF before / after the turbo?
?

Doward

MAF will have the air pulled through it.

Doward

Driver's side of the Y pipe is done. Passanger side is 1/2 done, and will finish it tomorrow.

The Y flange is being worked on, as well as the bracket for the turbo...

Bad news - my stupid digital cam is busted!! had a 10' stick of pipe fall on it Gonna go to Sears tomorrow to see what can be done about it.

Dale

iTrader: (12)

Good job on the pipes!!!

Bad job on the cam, but we all do stupid crap. Keep up the work!!

Turbocharged 3.4L with stock bottem end making 336 rwhp and 397rwtq.

video: http://www.60degreev6.com/Video/tiagodyno.wmv

thats freaking awsome, stock bottom end, 400 ft/lbs of torque AT THE REAR WHEELS.

simply amazing.

mike1986fyrbird

Ummm...
Keep in mind that he has Heads, Intake, Headers etc.
He put a LOT of money into that engine.
And its a 3.4...
3.4>2.8-3.1

3.4 will make more power.

F585

Any new updates Dow?

Doward

Passanger side is ALMOST done... Things have gotten crazy here, and I still don't have my injectors back... or my BOV yet... *grumbles*

I've just got one more extension on the Passanger side, then the Y connector, then the brackets... more as it comes together...

In the final stretch here!

Dale

Was informed today that if I can find the woman another daily driver, I can 3.4l and turbo the camaro.

May have to sell s10 to do though

Keep it up, I might right behind ya :hail: :hail:
