ok guys i am very sad to say but i have run out of steam, and patience to finish my twin turbo 84 firebird. i will always keep my high school car (my first ever car) but she needs to get back on the road and stretch her legs so i am selling the turbos and just about everything that goes with it.... here are some pics of the setup.. although before anyone pms me keep in mind that i no longer have the tpi setup (sold it) i am now running a edelbrock pro flo efi kit with a turbonetics top hat. i will be keeping the pro flo kit for right now cause i have an a1000 pump regulator and braided line that would be useless if i went back to a carb. i will be selling both 60mm roto-master freshly rebuilt turbos, wastegates, manifolds, and intercooler. i also have a methanol pump but haven't bought the lines or the nozzles... i also have a polished nitrous bottle with a nitrous solenoid and about 15ft of braided -4 line i was gonna use with a spray bar for the intercooler. all this has to go! i need my baby back on the road.... this a link to my photobucket page which i never use.... http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...t=DSCI0065.jpghttp://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...t=DSCI0003.jpg i will post more pics on request however if you want some detail about certain parts let me know. the turbos will not be sold for less than 500 a peice. i paid 600 a peice and the car has never run with them on. any other questions let me know. i will be posting these on ebay soon if noone wants them but i figured i would give my fellow third gen fans first pick.. third gens will live forever!
id take 1600 plus shipping Firm... this will inlcude pipes to the turbos from the intercooler, the turbos, manifolds, an extra set of stainless steel manifolds the require a small amount of modification (to clear steering arm, didn't have time to do it) wastegates, a metanol pump (no lines or nozzles) with a boost referenced on/off switch, a blow off valve, the braided oil lines to both turbos and the npt adapter that goes above the oil filter and all fittings, the intercooler. i am really bummed about even posting all this stuff cause i told myself not to give up, and i would tell anyone this but i am in a shitty situation and need something to cheer myself up and just so has it a dirtbike i have been looking for sits lonely across the street. help me out and i will help you out my friends. but don't read my **** and give up cause your money hungry, pull through cause its worth it!
i had never had it running with any of this stuff on. the motor was technically finished however i had not finished the down pipes... the car is just waiting on paint right now. I still am in shock that i have even mentioned selling this but i guess sometimes you have to...
yeah probably... where i live the nearest 1/4 mile is 3 1/2 hours away but there are two 1/8 mile tracks within 25 minutes.... so in my terms i would have tried to get in the high 6's low 7's
do you have the p/n for the turbos?
If you have more pics id like to see them.
I am interested and if all is good id actually like to meet you rather than shipping probably

yes it has external wastegates... i believe they are 38mm wastegates. i would rather meet in person also rather than ship... that wayif i have some more stuff lying around that i don't need i could throw that in for no extra charge. however i would hate for someone to drive all the way from florida only to try and barter down. as all of you know doing a project like this requires a lot of time, patience and most of all money. 1600 for everything turbo related on this car isn't a bad deal. once you include what everything costs brand new then charge labor to fabricate or install you getting into some pretty high numbers. it bugs the **** out of my to even put this stuff up for sale so please don't ask for any less on this deal as all i have to do is not sell it and i have a twin turbo third gen to drive around. i just figured this would make my life easier cause it is less stuff to mess with and less stuff to break or maintain.
also not sure if anyone is familiar with a mass air flow translator... but i have a mass air flow translator pro. if you go to www.maftpro.com it will tell you all about it. basically it wires into a stock wiring harness I.E. a tpi harness (thats what i bought it for originally) and it translates your mass air flow system into a speed density. there is more about this system that i don't understand then i do... im not a huge wiring guru. however i originally bought this for the tpi unit i was running and never ended up wiring this up. i paid about 600 dollars for this whole thing including a gm air temp sensor, a gm 3 bar map sensor, and an electronically controled boost solenoid specifically designed for this system. i am willing to let this go for cheep cheep if someone is seriously interested in this whole kit. of course if you were to show up with pictures of a mustang that you threw a tpi in and wanted to make it twin turbo i would have to tell you to turn around. sorry mustang guys but i am third gen f-body all the way! anyway if your serious i have more pictures and will take more pictures on specific stuff if need be. all i need is time to take them and post them. i am very excited to pass this along to another third gen person....
