Someone mentioned this in my post about selling my car and I have said all along that I would gladly put together a turbo system for someone.

I will soon have the garage space to do it and I LOVE doing the work. In fact, I bet I enjoy the build part more than the actual timeslipping/racing. LOL

If someone is interested, SERIOUSLY interested and can foot the bill for a turbo kit, Id be more than happy to put it together.

Just tossing this out there. I love doing the work and I think that my own results, limited as they may be, can speak for what I am able to accomplish.

Hell, if I got this going maybe I could be a paying sponsor here one day. LOL

 

if only you were closer...

 

i might be...what are you charging for this kit? i live in iowa so is there anyway you'll ship it also?

 

Ditto, It's going to be a bit off (around income tax return time). But I'd be interested pending price.

I'm torn between turboing my current 355 or building a 427 stroker and putting a big direct port shot on it

 

Guido just to confirm this; you did mean having the persons car to build it right? not building and shipping the exhaust kit to someone? you need to have the car right?

 

I would be interested in you building the headers and y-pipe. I was thinking about a 91mm Turbo. I already have the PAracing K-member. Let us know...Would you have to have the car?

 

Depends on cost, if it's close to or a little more than the roots blower I plan on going with, then I would be intrested, but it has to include everything from the intake manifold up. Besides, I'm fairly close (45 min or so) from you. I didn't realize you lived in Connersville. I'm in New Pal (just east of Indy).

 

I know where new pal is. I go throught there a lot. The cops are always dicks up that way so I ALWAYS make sure to go the sped limit. LOL

I would have to have the car. Thirdgens are very tight for exhaust clearance.

What i mean, is that I would be willing to build them for people. Maybe, if I got one or two different ones setup, I could build a jig and be able to do them without a car but the first couple would have to be on the car. And would depend if someone wanted a twin or single. either is feasible.

Would probably do it out of steel 16ga. tubing too because it would save cost, and seems that a lot of people are using steel tubing in their kits these days and it holds up fine.

 

Ya, they are dicks, but I'm lucky and live on the county line so I don't have to worry about them much. I'm intrested as long as it doesn't cost too much, and I have truck so it wouldn't be a problem letting you have the car for however long you needed it.

 

mild steel or stainless.

 

I would be interested in a set of SBC turbo manifolds (for a twin setup). Lemme know when you have the pricing worked out.

 

I would be intested as well in a Kit for a Twin Setup as that is what Im Shooting for with my Iroc Rebuild atm.

maybe make the single and twin headers the same. If you want the single turbo set up, just a make a y-pipe. Let us know
Thanks

 

Id be interested in a single turbo setup for my rebuild (89 iroc L98) I'll be looking forward to them if you make them!

 

yeah if you built just a single pass side header with a inlet for using a shorty of anykind on the driverside and running it to the pass side one you made and still fit a turbo on the front end of it I would be really interested in something like that.

Sadly enough it comes down to costs there too, if you happen to build the twin header set and the price is outstanding I would have to reconsider my ideals on what is more sensible.

 

How about making them for a V6? :sillylol:

Good luck man

 

well I'm in Fort Wayne. It's not that far, and my motor was just built for forced induction(low comp). So do you have a ballpark for prices and time to complete? I am very interested.

 

i'd be very interested in just a set of manifolds/y-pipe

85 t/a

 

:lala: :lala:

i'm interested

i need a COMPLETE setup, money is no object

 

I probally won't do one soon, but it may come into play when i decide on my motor swap options.....

What's a ballpark price for a single & twin set-up??

 

I'm definately interested. Maybe a junkyard thirdgen would be good enough to test header setups on?
Also, I wouldn't worry about people who would be running the stock airbox etc as I'd think that if you're putting a turbo in your thirdgen there's not much that's going to be left stock anyway...

 

yeah if you just built the Y and down pipes and told us use X brand of shorty header, then thats what I would be willing to do if it helps any like hooker or SLP etc.

 

For those of you keeping up, I am negotiating a deal to do a single turbo kit on a 3rd gen Formula.

When this all goes through I will make some final estimations before I decide how to proceed.

Looks like a single turbo kit will be made now though!

Stay tuned.

 

yes!:yourock:

 

woohoo! do you know if you will be selling parts individually? or only the kit as a whole?

 

I cant say anything at this point. I havent even got the dude's car in my posession. I have to see how close the headers are to everything under the hood before I decide, even if I do, how these things can be replicated and sold.

 

sounds great, so far so good! A kit would be good for some, manifolds would be great for my single turbo setup! Hope all goes through and we can be messin with supra's!!!!
Good times, good times!!!

 

by stamping a big fat trademark on them, and not releasing the plans
protect your market man, it's really cool that you're pioneering a turbo kit for the masses; if you can keep it exclusive, you could wind up like steve spohn or lon at top down, a respected monopolist =D Props to all those guys for finding a niche and filling it, just hold onto your secrets - so i can buy one in a couple months

 

Well, I certainly cant afford the turbo or procharger right now, but do you need someone to spit shine the turbo kits?? Taking applications? I expect atleast 10 shares of your companies stock when you make it big!, =)

-Greg, btw, let me kno if you need someone for spitshining the turbo kits! :hail:

 

I am definitely interested in a set of Turbo manifolds for my 89 GTA. Let us know man...

 

i would be very interested in manifolds for twins.

 

Guido, can you do a kit for a 4th gen?

 

Depending on price I would highly consider this. I've been searching for a turbo kit for some time now, so count me in.

 

Guido, if you could do what tom is suggesting I think you would make a killing. I would definately buy something like this from you

 

There is already pics on his webpage of a grand national motor in a 4th gen with custom headders...So the answer is yes..

 

AN LT1 would be a bit tough, but I could manage.

 

LoL... thats funny u say that... cause they guy onefastgta is referring to is an LT1 car...

the guy he is talking about its a 95 LT1 z28 355 car... got a blower now, but wants a turbo...
