OK so I cant leave well enuf alone
I have been LQQking on ebay and they have these really cheeeeeeeeeeeeeep block hugger headers ($99.00)
and I am thinking If I turn them upsidedown They might make a good starting point for a dual turbo setup. I know I am whacked but I gotta see if I can do this thing. I found a racing company in Australia that has the turbo matching program on the internet (ray hall racing) so a couple of Garrett T25's outta work. main thing is to be nice to the engine and not overboost. Here I go will let you know if it goes Kabooooooom Larry |

Unless you use some separate supporting (that is able to move for heat expansion) for the turbo, the headers will most likely crack in a very short time. Using weld els is the most durable, and leak free, setup, in my opinion.

Charger440, I would stay away from the t-25's. Those are incredibly small for your application. Those turbos were used on 2 liter motors and ran out of steam pretty early..
Ray hall's calcs seemed to me to be very unaccurate. I used the calculators on 3si.org to figure up my compressor needs more accurately. If you would like some help sizing the turbos just instant message me and I would give you my #. Sizing turbs can be alittle complicated but I have a good feel of what works and what doesn't.. A lot of the sizing also depends on what you really want out of the car. Once you go turbo you will not want to go back. Oh yea, a larger single unit would be cheaper and easier to plumb in my opinion.. Wish I would have gone single from the beginning but I am working with what I have so far.. 72 cuda 408 smallblock, twin t-4 turbos, 3.23 geared street car. 10.94 at 129 mph on mccreary dot street tires at about 3500lbs. |
