Upgrading my turbo's!
 

I had one of T60-1's go bad last friday night at the track, so i ordered 2 new Turbonetics HP76mm BB Turbo's with 4in. down pipes. 2 years of abuse on the old turbo's, I can't complain!

Well its always nice to upgrade. Do you plan on pushing the new units a lot harder than you did the 60's?

Not until I get a 6 bolt headed motor! Pushing water still sucks!

I thought you sold the car to that guy in the texas section :engarde: :jest::jest: Just kidding!!!

Anyways that sucks but at the same time its good to upgrade. seems like you got your money out of the old turbo's?

LOL at the guy in Texas! Yes those turbo's have treated me well. That is why I went back with them.

Glad you upgraded!

Did you get the large compressor cover T76 or the 60 series TC76's?

throwing money like it's in fashion :lol:

Why so much bigger? I would have went with two FI70's from FI.COM..

I think Jose spoke with him....he plans to get stupid.

lol don't we all?

Large compressor cover.HP-76 with the S trim exhaust wheel. .96AR.
It's basicly the same as the new GTK-1000's, just without the surge cover.

I talked to Jose and he was a great help in my decision.

I dont know should I say sorry about your old turbo or should I say Congrats your crazy man.

lol

So what are your new goals with the new setup??? mid low 8s maybe 1300rwhp+ LOL

Well unfortunatly ,the pushing water issue is still here with this motor.
I really don't plan on making much more power with this motor, but it should be a little more efficient with cooler intake temps. The new motor I plan on trying to acheive the max the turbo's will provide. 15-1600rwhp. The motor will obviously be a LS 6 bolt head of some sort.

Good luck man.


Damn all the water pushing at how much boost did the car started pushing water with AFR 225 Heads???
I'm planning to get those heads what do you think???

I can make a 1000rwhp and it won't push water but a tiny bit. It gets bad if I beat on it real hard and I don't let the car cool down inbetween passes very much. My timing was a little high as well. I going to back it down to 15deg. and leave it there. At 18deg. it would push water.

Spooling 0.96AR turbines might be a challege...4" downpipes will help...keep us posted.

Are your heads or block o-ringed?
