Going custom 61mm twins in the GTO
Going custom 61mm twins in the GTO Just bought the two 61mm .86 T3 turbos that Louis at LG had for sale. I'm having a local Phoenix shop do the install. Performance Solutions Racing. They are mostly know for their work on Mustang Cobras. But custom turbo fab work is the same no matter what car it's on. They have the shop race car which is a 2200 horse mustang drag car they built and various other nasty Cobras. Also a Factory Five Cobra kit car they put a 03 Cobra motor into that retained AC and heat. I'll update and take pics along the way.
Found a guy that's trading me my running LS2 with cam for his brand new iron block 370 still in pieces at the machine shop. .030 overbore, Eagle rods, Probe -16cc dished pistons, Clevite H bearings, Hellfire rings, ARP main and head studs, Felpro MLS gaskets, ported LS2 heads 310cfm intake and 250 cfm exhaust. Also bought a brand new Turbosmart Eboost 2 and Marine Aeromotive A-1000 for $710 for both.
Transmission is headed back to FTI to get a new input shaft and rebuild the converter for boost with restall to 3400.

Verdad Gallardo Huh? If you are talking about the ones I got there is a pic with the part numbers on it. 61mm compressor, 76mm turbine wheel with .82 AR. I called Precision and they said they are good to 680hp each. When I told them I was putting them on a 370 they said these turbos might be to big and have lag issues. I was a little confused by that. I've seen guys on here run some humongo turbos compared to these.
