Here is a BB Ford and I believe a 101mm in a 93 Lightning.





So far I think his best is a 9.7 @ 142

Just get some on-center T70's. Build the setup around them and you can easily step up to 72's and 76's w/o much more work.

If you are doing a single plane you may want to go ahead and use the mega's ability to run 16 injectors. Do you REALLY want to trust your meth setup at that hp level? I wouldnt. What is your fuel pump set up? I think you'll need like twin Aeromotive Elminator pumps.

And I dont think it will be too tough to fab up twin turbo's with stock manifolds either.

EDIT: There's 3 things I dont like about that Lightning. A) restrictive air filter, B) restrictive down pipe, and C) restrictive inlet tubing. What's next, a dented 3" OBX up front?

why does that lightning only have a 3" intake tubing going into his little throttle body?
no wonder he's only running a 9.7 with a 101mm.

For 1600fwhp I'd think that twin 70-72's would be the mininum. I think twin 67's are good for 1400-1500fwhp.

Your setup looks alot like mine. When will that thing be running?

I would go with a single S95 and keep it simple. It will support 1700hp and spool very quick on your application. If not a pair of GT42's, or S74's.

aren't the gt42's really big for the amount of airflow you get. i was told a gt42 is larger than the pt88 i have now.

i like the twin 70's idea with the ability to jump up to 76's easy down the road. as far as spooling goes i am going to bump up my stall and run a shitload of nitrous if i need to off the line. i will do what i have to for them to spool but i dont want to go overkill and make it any harder on myself than i have to.

what is a s95? simple would be ok with me.

Ask Jose,there was a thread not too long ago about PTE turbo rankings.Its 1 or 2 steps up from a T76GTS i believe

Maybe a little big it'd look badass.

Why don't you just put a bigger single on there? So you don't have to change much on your setup? I mean twins would be badass, but I would think that you should hit that number with a bigger single and the bottle?

i would be fine i with a large single but i wont be able to use much if any of the parts i now have. i also just got a sweet tig welder and want to fab something up. i will err on the small side only if i can do an easy swap to a larger turbo down the road. i would hate to build a system around a turbo that i might max out again and one that doesn't have a larger turbo that is an easy swap, this pt88 i have is that way. nothing will swap in it's place.

why does that turbo on that ford look soo big? what the heck is that?

Can you take the stock manifolds and flip them around, so that the outlet is pointing upward and forwards? That way, all you would have to fab is two pipes to connect the turbo flanges to the manifold flanges.

Oh and 2 DP's too.

there is a chance of that but i think it will be too high and too far forward. it might work better if i put the turbos sideways. i would really like to keep the stock manifolds if i can but i think i can build a header if i need to.

Parish, give us a call. Their are several options out there. The S95 is a new unit. It will make stupid amounts of power and spool very quick for its size. As for the GT42's they will flow a good bit more air then a standard T04 frame version will. As for size, yes they are a little larger then the PT88 you have on the compressor side. Exhaust side is almost identical.

We have Twin GT42Rs with the 74MM on Chris's Car.
With the 394CI Duttweiler SBC is almost spools too fast.
We may end up trying the new Mid Frame GT47 with the T4 Turbine Side.
Something to consider is the twin 4 inch down pipes you will need.

hm, the first mid 7 second truck....on STREET tires... i think with whatever you choose youre gonna get more than u expect..lol.

i dont plan on striping it down too much, i really want to keep the "street" truck theme. if someday i managed to break a 8.99 i would be thrilled but i know that will take a lot more work than just adding 300hp.

I am hoping by this summer, I still have ALOT to do:
Finish the Motor
Finish the 25.5 Cage
Ecu & Data Logger
Tranny

I just picked up a large framed 88. Physically, that turbo is the same size as my 106. If you are going to stay single, might as well get something you can grow into....a 106.

Sorry guys I don't really know much else about this truck. I've seen him run a couple times but never really talked to him. I believe he ran a 10.0 and a 9.9 on that day. If I remember right he is still working on getting some things lined out with it. He said he used to run around with the guys from Thunder Racing so maybe some of the LA guys know more info.
