I've got a 454 tall deck that I'm wanting to do this to. I don't want to supercharge because this makes MORE than enough low end torqe to spool up two 88mm turbos. Does anyone have any recommendations as to places that I can look to possibly find a set up for a big block? Websites that I may be able to look at? I know that I would like to find a pair of exhaust manifolds to use that are flanged to work with the right sized turbos. This engine will start out at a carbeurated motor and then eventually I'll turn it into an EFI. Currently, I have a stroker kit to make the 454 into a 540. Dished forged pistons, a comp cam 294/300 duration, wanting to run this into 5" exhaust, and keeping the motor at about 8.5:1 ratio to work with the turbos. Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated. I'm trying to find complete kits as opposed to trying to piece one together.

I am doing a custom turbo project on an air cooled 4 cylinder. I was looking at the Garrett oil cooled or water and oil. I know that they say that the oil and water spools up faster and lasts better, but is more expensive. I could hook up a motorcycle radiator for the water cooling, but is the performance that much better?

I have a kubota rtv 900 diesel & would like to add a turbo. There are a couple of dealers that offer turbo kits for this application. One will only sell the kit if they install it (cost $3000.00). The other wants $2000.00 for the kit. I have found a small turbo on-line & I am trying to find out if it will work for my diesel engine. I have found out that this engine is governed to approx. 3000 rpm & can handle boost of about 5 psi. I have the specs for the turbo - can anyone tell me how to figure out if this turbo will work for my application?

95 eclipse gst : What should the settings be set at on the apexi timer for Na and Turbo? We just bought the car and it has had some mod's done to it. The following is what all was and still is on her when we bought her (as far as we can tell) Garret Turbo a/r 80 m24 Inter Cooler (greddy I think) Sequintal Blow of valve Manual Boost Control There was a leak in the piping of the inter cooler so we removed the piping to fix it. We are having trouble getting the car to restart now! Not sure what happened? Maybe the apexi settings? Not sure what the apexi is supposed to be set at. Please help. Any suggestions would be awesome also any diagrams for re routing the inter cooler piping to keep it from being 2-4 inches of the ground and under my sub frame (if it is possible) would be very helpful!!

I have a 92 prelude with a 94 h22 v-tec. I'm in the process of rebuilding it. My plans are to get an air ride, re paint, build a wall of speakers with four 15" alpine type R's, and to rebuild the motor. This is where I need some advice. Is it even logical wanting to get 450-500 hp from my motor. What is it that I need to do for my motor to handle more than 10 psi from a turbo. I'm looking to spend under 10k. What parts do you guys recommend. Or will I just be wasting my time and money.

So i have never worked on a tuner before, iv done alot of V8 stuff and i am a tech, but seeing as how i have no experiance with tuners i thought i would start here. a friend of mine bought a 91 talon 4G63T (turbo) FWD. and he asked me if i would rebuild it for street racing. the budget i have to work with is about $7,000 and that has to include a new trans and clutch. i was thinking about dished pistons, a bigger turbo, bigger cam, better rockers/valve springs, ecu upgrade, bigger injecters, and update the ignition system. ik he said $7000 but ik it will cost more for all of what i put up there. so what i want to know is where am i going to get the best bang for my buck since i have to pull the engine and rebuild it anyway i figured we mite as well update it and bore it as well. any advice or ideas would be great...

i was wondering if preshure inside your intake manifold from a turbo effects any other systems. such as the vacume booster for the breaks. it is directly hooked up to the intake manifold and works off the vacume created... so what happens when theres boost insted of vacume?

My question is: now that I have the rear rails and x member tacked and measured out for the car, can I remove the whole unit and complete it out of the car? Or should I just weld it up in the car? Some of the parts I need to get to and weld are very hard to reach, this would make it alot easier as you can imagin. Request assistance please
