I'm woundering because I just got a stock 454, and I've always wanted to have a forced induction motor. Is there any resources that are on the net for BBC turbos? The main problem that I see happening is the manifolds.

Thanks

 

I've never turbocharged one for myself, but I have helped put several together for my friends, but they were just for racing or serious street cars. The headers were all custom made to each application.

 

Is there any good books out there that I can learn more about turbos?

 

Read the sticky they will point you to 2 good books.

 

There was a guy in Sweden that did it. 502 TT in a 3rd gen. Insane!

 

That would be insane, do you have any pictures.
Yea I know I jsut ordered those two, I was woundering if anybody had any other comments.

Thanks

 

I couldnt even begin to imagine the headers for a turbo BBC in a 3rd gen ...they'd be a work of art

 

or a work of the sawzall

 

Much easier to do then in a 4th gen...

 

Actually it was a 540cui search for polly trans am....

 

OMG......

That car is sweet!

 

yes........:hail:

 

The BBC in sweden with the 502, is this it or is this just a nice twin turboed 540

Old thread for 540

Check that out for some ideas on how to redo the engine bay. Like the relocating of the master cyclinder and the custom firewall for the super built tranny and to fit the 540.

 

I was looking through the parts section of ebay today and came across a BBC TT kit. I think they wanted 5k or so for it. Looked like all it had was manifolds and the turbos. Didn't really look at it though. Check it out if you want.

BIN for only $7500. 1200hp

All it looks likeis the manifolds & turbos.

Yea the master cylinder was a cool idea, even without the turbos it looks sweet with that space there!

 

Twin turbo in sweden, the only TT BBC in sweden I know of is 509" http://www.nitroz.se/persaker/racing.html but I'm sure there is plenty of them......

But the Polly car is nice!
