DSM1290 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I would like to put a turbo on my 350. But i can only find twin turbo kits that cost like $3000-$5000 an most are for fuel injection or TPI. I have saw old single turbo kits for sbc much cheaper. But I don't understand how it would work. Wouldn't your have back-pressure issue, if only half the motor had the back-pressure from the turbo and the other half just has a header. So if some can explain this too me,or give me a site that does i would really love the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Exaust is taken from both banks. I think you can get 90% of the info you need from http://www.google.com, but I can elaborate more when I out of school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 if you wanna learn about turbo systems you first should go to http://www.howstuffworks.com then once you have knowledge of turbo systems, then go to http://www.turbomustangs.com/forums and read up on how to make/buy a good kit.

Lustalbert Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Plan on investing a fair omount into a good carb if you are goint to go the carbed route. All the gaskets need redone, jetting work, better power valve, rising rate fuel pressure regulater, lots of custom piping, welding, fab.... Also, a thought for you, make you won fuel injection. You can build your own megasquirt system for about 200, about 300 for it do do spark as well, and have a much easier time when it comes to tuning the system. Plus there are plenty of chebby intake maifolds that already have injector bosses in them. Lots of research and planing are the begining though.

Guest mudbutt Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 another opton is the gm 1227749 ecu. This ecu with the $58 code will run a boosted 350 right out of the box with minium tuning. You can pick one of these up for about $50 you can use an f body harness from a 90+ v8 car or a painlesss harness. Both will require a minor pin swap.

Orion Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 and thus we see why most v-x motors are natural twin turbo setups. good catch, brian. of course, if you desire, you can make a single turbo setup work, and work well. there are tradeoffs either way you go. my personal preference is the twin setup.

Guest Removed Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Maybe if you make the piping thinner on the longer manifold, the velocity will increase to meet the flow of the shorter side.. well Ive seen a lot of single v8 turbo kit's, that put the turbo in the middle.Just above the crank pulley! look at Howies V8 vette! it's the win! And would crush all on this site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mudbutt Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 It is true that equil length is the BEST way to do it. It isnt horrible to do it the long/ short way. The most important thing is unrestricted pathways and smooth flowing transitions. Our kit uses tubular headers on both sides and the crossover merges into the pass side header. There are setups worse than this that do things such as a header on one side going into the rear of a log on the other with the turbo in the front of the log. Even these kits have proven to make tons of power and not kill motors. Either HP or TTI has a 5.0 drag radial kit that the turbo basicly comes off of a T in the crossover. This may look like it wouldnt work, but there is a local guy with either that kit or a similar design that has went into the 8s and some have gone lower.

BIG SHAFE Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Maybe if you make the piping thinner on the longer manifold, the velocity will increase to meet the flow of the shorter side.. If you do that, you increase the resistance to flow, even more. Although with that setup, the turbo should spool for the a broader rpm spread than with equal length tubes.

Guest mudbutt Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 You can run a maf in a turbo. it is just that that the $58 code is native to the syclone and typhoon, which has the same displacment per cyl as a 350. You tell it in the editor to know it is running an 8 cyl motor and make a few small corrections and it is drivable. As always nothing is a substitution for a proper dyno tune, but this cuts time down a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
