Turbo size for this setup
 
I have a good friend that is building a 1970 Cuda. He is putting a new LSX block in it with a Turbo. He is building a 454ci motor and he is wanting 1300rwh. We are trying to find out what turbo to run. It will have a 4L80E in it. It will be running by the Power Tour because he and I will be taking our cars for long haul. He was going to build a new Hemi for it but he was so impressed with my setup and how it runs and all that he is putting a LS1 in it. He is really going to piss some folks off lol. :)

Id say the new S91 or 95mm units...
He has alot of cubes to work with......

ssfast99 03-04-2007 04:32 PM

i was thinking the same thing but na$ty-ta is the man that knows what he is talking about so listen to him and i would recommend checking his car out.

at least a 91mm....with those cubes...prolly bigger

black98ws6ta 03-04-2007 06:03 PM

I would think a 91 would be small for a 454. Go bigger on turbo or go down on engine size, it wont have any problem spooling it.

Call the mfgr[s]????

02SSLE 03-04-2007 07:26 PM

No one have any idea??

eviltwins 03-04-2007 07:28 PM

With a 454" small block you're going to have a very short compression height, sounds like a recipie for broken pistons to me.

IMHO do a big bore 427 or stock bore 402/408 with a pair of 67-70mm turbos.

02SSLE 03-04-2007 07:31 PM

I was thinking probally at least the S95 and probally in the 100 range.

DrTurbo 03-05-2007 10:49 AM

I would go 100mm or so. :)

Chris.

02SSLE 03-07-2007 06:19 PM

don't want twins he wants one big single.

JZ 97 SS 1500 03-07-2007 11:13 PM

S95 will do the job and spool nicely on that size engine. The compressor wheel we use is a new style now.....wheel flows 168 lbs/min. The old wheel flowed 151 lbs/min....so the 95mm will do the job. ;)

Jose, I emailed you about a similar turbo question. Thanks :)

JZ 97 SS 1500 03-07-2007 11:19 PM

Jim when did you e-mail me?? We have been down and I'm only on for a little while tonight. We are moving to our new facility and nothing is hooked up yet....argghh. I am having to take care of e-mails and phone calls sporadically. E-mail me again...I will get you an answer.

qqwqeqwrqwqtq 03-07-2007 11:21 PM

Re-sending. No rush, whenever you get a chance.

Quickin 03-08-2007 12:21 AM

Twin 88's

02SSLE 03-08-2007 07:33 PM

NO twins for now. Also if Jose would call my friend back he would have sold a turbo and other stuff by now. He called and left a message on his phone Tuesday. I wish Forced Induction would get there shit together. Makes you want to order somewhere else. :eyes:
