Poll: 76mm Turbo or Heads/Intake?

[2165 Turbo Rail]

i'm not sure the street legalities of dumping it out like that... or if you plan to have it street legal even. I did a 4" DP with a 4" cut out then split into 2 3" pipes through 3" magnaflows and out the tail pipes... only cuts about 8 HP i think it was and a few tq... not enough for me to worry about really... and its quite when I want it to be and louder when I open the DP.

yes

how'd it do on a 6 liter?

if i do go with the s400 i'll have to deal with the 5inch discharge on the t6 housing.

thinking about just dumping it out the fascia (on the passenger side).

not exactly inline with the "street car" look, but a hell of a lot cheaper and easier then trying to run 5in exhaust around the motor.

throw in the mpt76 and maybe we can talk

ouch, no can do haha... i need that to go back on the GTO... I seriously thought about putting the 4.8 in the GTO with the turbo and then putting the N/A 6L in the Galaxie... I'm not going to, but i did consider it

[VaderTT]

yes

Really leaning towards the B/W S400-75 or 76mm w/1.32ar. Price just can't be beat for a quality unit. Anyone seen one of these s400's on a 6 liter?

on that note I'll trade you the 4.8 I am going to be in the 59 Galaxie for your 6.0

I'd sell the 6.0 and buy a cheap 4.8 or 5.3. People are making sick numbers on those things stock and they hold up. If something does happen to it theyre cheap and plentiful. LQ9 should bring some decent money to go towards the build.

That car would be awesome with a turbo

Throw a hairdryer on that crossbred bitch and let 'er eat

A different cam, converter and tune will make that sucker fly!

Judging by people's posts, a lot of people lack very basic turbocharger science. Not that I am a fan of them but plug his info into any turbocharger mapping calculator and see why it wont work well.

Please understand this BASIC info before recommending that people spend thousands on shit that wont work worth a fuck. http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...o_tech103.html

well, i dont doubt the car has a little left in it, but considering that it is a stock lq9 (heads were put on by the general) with a cam, ls6 intake (stock t/b), and long tubes and goes 7.00 @ 98mph (with a converter that at the very least is eating up mph, possibly hurting et as well), driving to/from track w/ac and heat, i think it is doing alright.

i log every run and tweak the tune as needed. car is running with 28* of advance, no knock retard, and pretty much rock solid 12.6-12.8afr. last weekend both my runs were within a hundredth of a second, both 1.5 60's, and same mph.

i am not touching it before the cruise and would really like to see a 6.9x out of it at the end of the month. i am leaving for vacation on saturday so the next time the coupe will be out will be for the cruise.

after that i think i am going to pull it apart and start putting the kit together.

Get the convertor sorted out, then heads and cam. Sixes on motor should be breeze

I think you need to fine tune what you have.....

Yeah, but it'd be out of steam pretty quick, too.

I bet with a set of em you could disable the stock block.

[4EyedTurd]

They might not be what the guy needs.....but you are full of shit. They are rated at 500fw each. He just has a stock 6.0.... They made 800rw on my 03 Cobra and they weren't maxxed out yet. He probably makes 350-400rw so if he could get a solid 10-12lbs of boost he would easily meet his goals....

I bet those had a T4 footprint
