Did u happen to purchase a Downpipe from BBS(I dont see it in their site) or at any other location? I'd like to get one made already, instead of fabbing one up. I need a 4" collector to a 3". Where it exits by the frame, i'd then install an exhaust hose. Should someone have a spare, email me price. thanks

 

Here is my down pipe from them it's on the right

 

I got mine made locally. I only bought the headers of BBS and supplied my own turbo. I had a 4" tapered down to a 3" jjust before it went under the firewall.

Mine was alot more "custom" than the kit though since all my steering and brakes are on the wrong side

 

Which is why i brought this up, lol. I heard he's busy with family stuff, Was wondering how much he's charging for it.

If ya want to part out with it along with the Intake Piping, lemme know. If not, thanks anyway.

 

Sorry man I need it all .

 

That was months ago, business is running as normal.
I can't just offer you a downpipe since each and every downpipe is different from one to another in some way. They are all made according to the header they come with.
Let me know if you need anything else.

PS: We are currently making single turbo kits for the 2.8-3.1L V6's. People in our e-mail list will be informed when they are available, there will be information on our website too.

 

Do you possibly have access to an LT1 cylinder head to maybe see how or if at all the plugs clear your single turbo header (the one for v belt with a/c).

Thanks, Tommy.

 

Any decent exhaust shop would be able to fab you up a dump pipe. You might just have to tow or truck the car to the shop initially...

.... or just run it out the back of the turbo

 

Yeah i didnt feel like towing it to a shop. I suppose i could fab one up myself, but i i'd rather have it look clean as the pic. I have the BBS single turbo kit, the one formualed for no AC Compressor. Should u ever decide to sell the Downpipe seperatley, let me know.



Do u sell the Intake piping without powdercoating? If so how $$

 

Supercharger guy goes turbo. Which I had the cash to do the same.

 

i got a dumb queastion on the turbo header in the picture from bbs what is the big down looking pipe that comes off of the header? hey raven thats a sweet job you did on your car how much boost you gettin? what make turbo did you use? doze it still use the t3 t4 flange?

 

If it's the one I am thinking you mean ..... it's the Wastegate pipe .

 

i think he's refeering to the feed pipe that hooks up to the cross over from the other side

 

I believe that you have placed the wastegate in the wrong position. It should be placed towards the header with the other flange the wastegate has.

Turbo setup is looking nice, keep up the good work!

 

About 6 years ago when I first tt'd the Camaro, I couldn't wait for professional downpipes to get fabricated, so I just removed the hood, and tack welded 90's pointing up, onto exhaust flange's, and drove it to a local exhaust shop like that. It's actually not that loud for a 15 minute drive to the shop.

 

Im ready to make the swap from the P1sc to the BBS kit for my white 1991 project.

 

Hey vortech305 what kind of turbo is that?

 

I might be able to sell that kit for ya ....

Wait untill you see that kit it's all shiney and pretty I can;t wait to get mine installed

 

T61 turbo

 

Cause that looks like those **** turbos they sell on ebay that last a total of five minutes. I think the company is ssautochrome

 

Nah, it isnt them. That's the company that makes those cheesy chrome turbo headers. These are good to go.

 

No they sell turbos that look just like that. I had one that I put on my brothers stang. It hit boost and totaly granaded inside. I guess they dont balance them right.

 

I understand, but what im saying is, i didnt purchase the turbo from them, lol.

 

I spent all day holding that exact same turbo and telling him about the horror storys of the company he bought it from (XSpower/SSautochrome).

I was just browsing threads and printing off the horror storys and decided to chime in that reguardless of where you got it, its the exact same exploding turbo that Stone racing, XSpower, and SSautochrome have been selling to unwary customers for years. There is a new name known though now as Turbo ZY. The turbo you have is offered in a T25, T28, T61, and T70 model and shown on the very non descript tag you have which if you post a very close picture of lists (from memory):

Turbocharger
Type T3 (or T4 if thats what you have)
part no super T61 (or something similar maybe just T60)
serial no T512080765074 (or something similar)

Do not use unless you like turbo guts in your engine and intercooler

 

Dude you sound like an idiot. For the millionth time i did NOT purchase from them and it was certainly not rebuilt by them. Before you start spewing accusations, get facts first.

 

Im not saying you bought it from them, where you got it does not change anything. I am sorry you have been bamboozled that badly to make you so hostile. If you don't want people to be able to identify your turbo, take down the pics. I don't know why you are getting all hostile.

No idiocy here, and personal attacks have never helped anyone on this board, and BTW it is a probational or bannable offense.

If you are that adamant about it should I post a picture of the XSpower turbo to show you and everyone else??

 

I have a pic I can post for you B4Ctom. I will post it later tonight.

 

no its ok grover. I dont want him to think people are ganging up on him. I want to keep this polite. We are all here to share and learn.

 

Thats fine. I am not ganging up I just happen to have one of there turbo's I got screwed due to my lack of knowledge about turbos

 

Its not a lack of turbo knowledge on any ones part. That company's manufacturing standards are not based on a good product there based on making the sale.
Every one is looking for a good deal.
Grover do us a favor and post a clear picture of your turbo so people know what not to buy.
The more informed we are the better it is for everyone..

 

Pic's

 

oh my ***! look at those hairy toe knuckles,

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU DAMN DIRTY APE!" - Charlton Heston

 

Thanks I have been growing it out for years now.

 

Did you photo shop the center of the turbo ??? Where are the blades ???
Or do you have a condom stretched across the center of the turbo ?

 

Thats the trick cover you get with it.

 

I see you have the "super T70" model?

 

Seems pretty TRICK allright ..lol The irony is killin me

Thanks Grover for the pic could you by any chance take a close up pic of the blue ID tag up close so we know exactly how to identify it.... (you could also intertain a couple of folks if you would through in a toe I am sure of that. ) lmao
B4Ctom1 you have got good eyes or an awesome zoom program on your Pc...

Rob

 

it is the fake program they use on the TV show CSI. I zoom in on the image until there is no more information left in the area I am looking into, then I have a magical key on my computer, but I don't press it, I just say the TV script word "enhance" and information not originally in the picture appears from ****ing no where!

j/k I just notice little details like that, as for the turbo, just handle anyones turbo and you will see they are very good to let you know who makes them by putting their name all over it, or putting it once real big, these turbos are very non-descript.

The wording on the tag reads just like this:

 

I wounder if vortech305 is even reading this post anymore. He hasnt posted in a while.

 

Hey Dan Have you gotten around to your install yet ? Let us know how its going.. We wanna see the finished product .....

 

It will be going on next season. As it sits the season is done here and the car is getting stored

 

what turbonetics turbo is that?

 

Looks like a t62

 

yup ... T-62

 

Doesnt that make me look smart. I actully I just remember the classified add when it was for sale.

 

I like to think I got a good deal !

 

I just purchased a Turbonetics T -76 wooohoooo
cant wait to get it installed....

 

You get what you pay for, if you wanna use a cheap turbo you better get a turbo saver with it. When that compressor blade starts hitting the cover and sending junk into the oil your bearings are not long for this world.

What's cheaper?

Spending a $1000 to $1500 on a good turbo or $3500 on a new shortblock!


I've used a garrett, a turbonetics 60, 65, and a precision pt-51 on my cars. All were run pretty hard and never had problems. The little 60 went past 30psi a few times and is now on my buddy's car after sitting in the gargae with dust all over it for 2 years.

I will only buy a turbonetics BB turbo from now on.

For the money people are spending on the crap that's on ebay you can go over to www.turbobuick.com find yourself a turbo and either swap the housing to a 4bolt or swap the turbo flange to a 3bolt. You'll prolly spend the same money....

 

Listen to this man. I mean if you wont use a race turbo then use a well known turbo like a Mitsubishi or Holset at least.

 

you guys don't like the T-62 turbonetics in the BBS kit ? I know jack about them . There is a little play on the impeller shaft = normal ?
