Has anyone tried running an aps kit with the supposed Mitsubishi turbos, using a 427 cubic inch engine? I'm curious about real world experience. On paper, the combo seems less than practical trying to make good power on anything lager than the 380's.

Seen 890 rwhp made on a 402 with that kit.... at 19 psi... havent seen one on a 427.

Sell the turbos and talk to DKT for 6766 turbos for 1300rwhp

Do not buy anything from DKT! That scammer Devin has had my money for over a year and a half, and I still don't have my 6766's!

Mods planned? Good seeing you again I just put on the larger aps turbos no numbers yet thou. Obviously it depends a lot on what you plan to do with the car . As you already know they are going to run out of steam early on a 427 and they will become a choke point. You'll still be looking at about 850whp before they do and I would expect that would come on much earlier in the rpm range. Good luck.

Interesting post.

Yeah interesting because i allmost payed to him but then i'v kinda off
Start thinking alot about it and with no numbers and without any one installed the turbos and all the other reasons i'v decided not to buy anything not allready exist unless i know the vendor or the person.

So pleas keep us updated with what happen with dkt and good luck installing the turbos or getting you $$ back.

Guys name is Bill Winters iirc.

402 stroker with a stock LS3 top end. And a cam by Brian Tooley.

He had a thread over on yellowbullet about it but its been a while.

Well I won't say we are talking about the same guy, but I helped Bill Winters AKA 5litereater put his TT vette together and it is a TTIX kit not a APS kit. I have what used to be and APS kit I used DKT 6766's on my car and didn't have a problem ordering them. Payed Devin and they came in in about a month. But with the Mit 20's I wouldn't advise doing anything over a 370, but its personal prefernce as it will peak early and you will have to deal with a LOT of back pressure that you will have to try and cam around and have some seriously stout valve train to even have it run worth a damn. GL!

LilJohn

Damn... my bad. Thought Brian said Bill had the same setup he has....

I screwed that up.

How different is the TTIx from the APS?

Seeing the manifolds in Brians kit makes me wanna build custom headers for his car... Cant believe they use a T25 footprint on those things.

You started a build thread and didn't finished it !! that's for me is a dead thread because i didn't saw the installing and the results .

Good seeing ya, Rick... Yeah, I never got around to building my short block and turning the boost up, I was busy making parts n stuff. It's so tempting to buy a 4" stroke crank and build my planned big bore (4.125) engine. I was kinda wondering if I did and I kept boost to the 10-12 lb range if the turbos would suffice. Did you have the small turbos on more cubes than stock? If so, maybe I can buzz ya for your take on how the car did? If the turbos need the upgrade, I may just stay stock until she let's go.

I saw what you did, good move. I don't trust Peter or his company and would never do business with them. I can only hope your transaction went well I was told my centers are fake by two turbo shops and one thinks they are questionable. Its funny how I was the bad one back in the day for calling him out very early on, his true colors came out.

I ordered a 6766 turbos from Devin and I received them in less than a month and I'm all the way around the work (Saudi Arabia)

He's a great guy to deal with..



He finished the car check CorvetteForum with stock engine and cam with 6265 turbos made 680rwhp 710rwtq 8psi

I did finish my build thead. It probably didn't have as many pictures as some other threads, but I did post up my first results and it was on 13.5lbs made 830-840's on 15lbs it made 908rwhp and 880tq. recently went back after changing a few things and made a number of pulls made 1018-1068rwhp and 1008-1043tq. Ran my car at the Texas Invitational etc... Not that I have to explain myself to you lol. And Venom ws7 is correct about me having it on the corvette forum, but the build he is talking about is actually not mine that was Devins own personal car

Well they are pretty different, but simularities are that they both use a cast manifold and have limited turbo choices. APS used a hybrid flange that is really close to a T28 flange so it is propriatary to APS exhaust housings. That is what DKT and Precision did was recast them. Bills was a pair of 57mm's.
