Lucky you! wish i could buy turbos at whole sale price lol

 

Uncle owns a diesel repair shop.
Has tube bender and bead roller. Tig. Mig. Lifts.
I used to work for him as a tech. I do get the parts at lower prices. But i just use the turbo and wastegates. I still use ebay fmic and ive found that the hks ssq bov is great for the $. The tnetics duo35 sound pimp but are way more than the hks bov.
Also a place i get injectors from has excellent prices.
Today i ordered a set of 8 72lb. Hi imp injectors for 200$ shipped.
I always keep at least.one tc78 in stock and a wg.
Injector place sells on ebay also.

 

Call me stupid but I want to turbo my car eventually and want to learn about it and so on. Is there anywhere to read about the basics and the way it works and so on?

 

im in the same boat as you if you want check out my other thread i made its the basic just of where to get the oil from and return and what kind of lines to use
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/powe...ed-return.html

 

i just use the blockoff piece from gm. I drill and tap it. Above oil filter. This is the feed/pressure
Tap timing cover. I dont go into the pan. The timing cover has flat spotd to use a -8 fitting.
plenty of access if using a truck offset. This would b the return

I highly reccomend this book for basic applied info on turbo charger info.
Maximum Boost
Author Corky Bell
Best $ spent before deciding on turbo build, if not familiar with the basics

 

Bought the book today so I will have it soon. I hope to buy parts over the summer and put it all in over the next winter

 

Cool thanks ima buy that book as well especially since now i have three turbos lol a gt45, T04e, and the t72

 

Here's for inspiration to keep this tread back on the supercharger path. Traded the polished Maggie for this ugly thing.

 

Show off

 

Yea, I'm learning from you.

 

 

What, didn't you want ideas? Title does say "LSX supercharger"

I can also show off the 10 rib pulley kit. Only set me back about $1100. But won't have any belt slip issues. Aiming for 13-16lbs of boost.

 

Yeah i was jk. Id give my turbos for a supercharger setup only that they costs like three times the amount then what i have paid for my turbos.

 

Is that Wipple for cathedral port heads?

 

It's for ls3 style heads. I'm building a 416/418 with CNC LSA heads for it.

 

post pics once you have it on id like to see that blower running

 

Cant, tpiterror took my picture posting privlages away.

 

jk tpiterror lol

 

stumbled over another deal.... Can you say Iroc-ZL1?Yes ZL1 LSA engine.

 

you should drop one of those onto your thirdgen.

 

So you're saying after all the hard work to get my dyno title in So-Cal. You want me to tear it all apart and increase another 200+ RWHP? hmm I havent given it much consideration






Aside from everyother day

 

How'd you get such a great deal?

 

I guess you have to find the right deals. Or those deals tend to come looking for me. For example that polished Maggie I did a straight trade for the 2.9 whipple. The whipple had some upgrades and also ID850 injectors.

The ZL1 blower I purchased for like 1200-1400(don't recall). It had under 4k miles on blower and hat and rails are brand new zero miles.

 

haha you would be alot more satified with that 200+rwhp

 

It would be great but money wise it wouldn't be worth it. I have too much money invested in my current combo. Then have to deal with smog. I might buy another third gen and try it out. Or a Pre smog test vehicle. Maybe a second gen or a C10 truck.

 

Get a 2nd gen that and a 5th gen is all you need too own every gen of camaro
