I heard Rob lost his shop and cant get another one..... Theres always other shops to take your cars too. Like Lous Performance in Sun Valley (818)899-1500. Lou built the motor for the black SS that was on GM hightechs mag in the Feb. 2006 issue. Ive had some work done there and he does good work and tunes are great with their on dynojet. He also paints and body work too. Im having Lou cover up and paint all the holes from the rs body kit.

well bought a used setup from someone on craigslist. and hoping to put it on my car. dont really have specs on the turbo but i got pics of everything.
the guy said it was on a 69 chevelle that had a pretty much stock 350 with 8:5- 9:1 compression.
heres my setup so far. got rid of the crossfire setup and doin this now.,
i got a 84 corvette that im building (it is no longer a crossfire motor). i just purchased a used turbo kit that a guy had on a older chevelle. it looks complete and the guy said it was on a pretty much stock 350. my motor is stock bottom end,arp head bolts,2000 vortec heads,decent size cam, and 1.6 rockers.
the kit i bought has a holley 600cfm double pumper blow through carb, carb hat,older (but no shaft play) rayjay turbo,wastegate (said was set to 12psi) some stock manifolds with a t3 flange welded to the passenger side, a crossover pipe (dont think itll work with my setup). no intercooler though (he was running a water/methanol kit)not sure.
some questions i have:
1. what kind of fuel pressure would i have to run?
2. What size intercooler would be alright?
i was thinkin like a stock eclipse sized one.
3. What amount of boost would be safe?
my buddy thats building the motor said we should start at 6psi.
4. What else would i need?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
heres what i got:
cam specs:
2000 vortec heads (cleaned and checked now):
stamped 1.6 rockers:
double roller timing chain:
arp head bolts:
turbo stuff:

start at the reg 5-7 psi for the fuel and you will play with it to see where it is happy....
that would be fine if you keep it around 6-8 psi any more than that on that small int wouldnt be good.
no more than 10 psi boost on a stock 350 bottom end blow through ,thats just me ,it will be safe at 10 psi
looks like you got prety much all you need

well bad news. my buddy thats building my motor and trans took the turbo kit to clean ti up and install some of it. well he told me that the turbo needs to be rebuilt and i jsut cant afford it. plus ive been thinkin and its gonna cost me too much time and money to get the turbo kit goin.so just stickin with the heads cam setup and gettin a regular 600cfm carb.
so if anyone is interested in a turbo kit. its up for sale. turbo needs to be rebuilt but it comes with pretty much everything i think?
