DONT NOT GO ON A SPENDING RAMPAGE as much fun as it is you could reget it
take your time DO NOT RUSH it will bit you in the end

do not do 42lb injectors you will max them fast than you think go 60s you can go far with those

use studs they are better for you block with a better clamping force

a auto will work great for you setup

i hope this will help out and i say again take you time please!!!!!!

for turbos have you look in to Master power turbos?

mechanix565

ok just put the studs and the 60#'s in my wishlist on summit, ya i have looked into them but im tryin to spend around 300 tops for the turbo itself and im only seein them for 550-600 hmmm idk have you ever seen the holset used? cuz its cheaper to grab one off a diesel truck i see them go 30 psi on the cummins with the hx35

mechanix565

but the reason for the rush is the car is bieng built to race an rx7 twin turbo in about a month' the kid called out my whole crew saying all ur muscle cars aint **** so i gotta represent his car goes 11.3 and im thinkin if i can get up around 600 hp in a 3k pound car ill go 10's on drag radials with 4.11 gears and thats all i need to beat anything around here since thew cars already a rocket

i think you are building that car for the wrong reason, you should be building it to enjoy it, not just to beat that rx-7

mechanix565

well no i plan on enjoying it ive always been on the fence about a turbo but it just put me over the top, the car is my pride and joy its my baby the situation just helped me decide thats all

Turbonetics TC78 .96 housing will spool where you want, and support 1100hp.

Otherwise, go with a t4 frame s400 1.10 AR and you should spool about where you want as well and be about 50 bucks cheaper.
Use truck manifolds if you can

For what its worth, I'll be about 1500 into my turbo kit including a 950 dollar turbo.
Here is how you do it:
Truck manifolds flipped forward - should have gotten them with your motor
Turbo - 800/900 bucks depending what you go with
Ebay Intercooler kit- 200
Truck Flanges - 50
T4/t6 flange depending on ur turbo - 30ish
feed fittings (two -4ANx 1/4" NPT) - 25
Drain flange and fitting - 35 i think
drain line - figure 50
feed line - 50
xo2 racing wastegate - about 150ish

there ya go, oughta be close to 1500.
Add injectors - theres another 300.
It can be done on a reasonable budget

Edit: I also think you need to relax, and do some more reading. You do not need a digital boost controller. A hx35 is WAY too small for your motor.

mechanix565

thats pretty much exactly what my plan was lol but the only thing that kinda kills me is that turbo is big money i was talkin to my buddy with an old school vette with a 5.3l lm7 and he sent me this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/On-3-...item20afa022ba its the turbo hes running and i wanna use the same cam he says he dynod out at 515 on 15 psi with jus the valvetrain, injectors and that turbo so im looking into that cuz i can definately swing 350 for the turbo he said his is still stropng and hes 1k miles into it they seem like one of the more decent ebay companies they have a real website and videos of their stuff working haha

FRUSTRATED T/A

just one month

As been said already, 60lbs injectors, truck exhust facing forward.

If in a time crunch run no intercooler and spray it with meth.

Or do a rear mount kit on your existing exhust and just run the piping up to your intake and spray with meth. Rear mounts run cooler and with meth youll be fine.
One cummins turbo will not be enough. The older cummins 91-93 have larger exhust turbins then any of the others, 21cm on some being the largest. vs later years haveing 14cm and smaller mybe. Two of them in a front mount setup would work, but you dont have time to wait for two to come around.

If you do rear mount the turbo will need to be sized differently, Ive never campared a cummins turbo vs the specs of a rear mounted turbo but mybe its an option.

If you do a front mount with truck mani's facing forward you will need altanator relocation.
dont forget tunning

I see fail in this thread. To the OP there is no way your going to build a turbo car in a month on that budget. triple it and you be fine.

turbo'd stang

If it were me...I'd be posting in the nitrous section about doing a kit. With your budget, I think things will turn out better.

iTrader: (5)

are you dead set on a turbo? for that budget you could get a proven head cam combo nitrous and a frost tune. then you will beat him for sure also if hes running a rotary motor hes not gonna beat a bolt on car by much, what are you guys doin racing in rhode island in this kind of weather anyways?

id go 3.73 or 3.42 with a car that light, with a auto
what engine is in the RX7? and a 11.3 is nothing for what you are putting together. but make sure you get alot of track time with to get the bugs out frist.

Bro if i tired to do my car in a month it would of never happened

I agree with that kinda budget id be lookin at a nasty nitrous h/c swap and you'd probably have some left over

^^^not to mention its a hell of alot quicker to install and work out the kinks. its possible to work out a turbo kit in a month....... with alot more money, crazy fabbing experience, all of the proper tools (which will cost more than the kit), and a dyno at your disposal
