GT45 vs. 76mm I have a GT45 with a 1.05 ar and im trying to find out how it compares in dimensions to an On3 76mm with a .68 ar. I cant find any dimesions on the 76mm. Does anyone have any info on this?
I am trying to determine if I have enough room in my engine bay for twin 76's. if it looks like I'll have enough room I'll just lay the GT45 back for my Z71.

Thanks but I have a 66 ChevyII with a heavily modified stock front clip so every 1/4" of space is prime real estate. These old cars have little room for anything other than a SBC.
Im building a 5.3 with Microsquirt for the car right now.

Understood, 5.3 can work depending on what your doing with it.
If its a street car it might be a little laggy, if you are dead set on the on3 76 turbos, quick ways to get passed slow spool would be to run e85 or get a 6.0 short block, small primarys to turbo like 2", or find turbos with 57mm turbine to run.
If its a track car it should work well since you will be building boost off a 2 step

I cant thank you enough for that picture Quick4door. I thought they were the same size but there is a huge difference... literally. I have been looking at the 70's and 76's. I thought about going 76's in case I build a bigger engine later on. Also if I didnt get the "big" turbos right off the bat I would want to upgrade later.

How laggy do you guys think the 76's would be with my 5.3? The 5.3 is all stock besides a Stage 2 Tick Performance cam. I started rethinking last night that I may hate the late spool. You think full spool would be in by 5000? It would be good for my take off at the track. I only have a 27x10.5" ET Street on the car right now.

Wicked69 has had pretty good luck running Twin On3 70mms on his Chevelle. His thread:

It's gotten a little long, but well worth the read.

What has been done to your 66 front clip I'm putting twin borgwarner s 366s in my 63 deuce ..right now it's a stock front end with a pinto rack and autofab race cars coilover kit . Global west spherical bearing lower arm bushing and del lum upper arm bushings .i haven't drove it yet but I'm already thinking about selling the stock clip and going with a aftermarket mustang ii .im going with a 5.3 and might try a micro or megasquirt out .

I welded in chromemoly tubing from just in front of the shock towers on the fender side of the inner fenderwells down to the front frame rails. Then I completely cut ou the radiator support and inner fenderwell sheetmetal back to the shock towers. I made a tube radiator support and crossmember in between the frame rails. I had to make different bumper brackets and weld nuts inside the frame rails to mount the bumper.
There is a guy on here that has twins with a stock front clip and he didnt do much cutting at all. He cut holes for the inlet of the turbos and recessed the shock towers. I'll see if I can find his link.
I cut my trash out because I wanted easy access to everything. When I do my piping I can pull the tube radiator support and the whole front half of my engine bay is exposed.

Just getting into the LS game putting a 5.3l in my 92' supra. But anyways I just ordered a 76mm with 1.0 divided housing. Hoping for 650rwph at about 14psi or so on stock 5.3. It will also get a quick spool valve machined into the exhaust housing to make it spool like better! I will let you know how the 1.0 housing looks when it comes in next week but I don't think it will choke the 5.3 too much. If it does I will get a 1.15 and try that.

Nice I was thinking about making a tubeular core support and running down tube bars to tie in to my coil overs that way I could get rid of my shock towers ,if I keep the stock front stub .sounds like your going to have a nice ride when it's finished .
