twin turbo on a carbed engine? I haven't seen any kits for it. can anybody point me in the right direction, if it can be done at all?

1984 Z-28, 305HO 4bbl, t-tops, K&N, Flowmaster 80 Series with 3" tips. Planning a massive modfest. It's gonna be one gangsta of a street demon.

 

it can be done and i have seen it on a SBC and heard but never seen one a 455 buick. also saw a mopar on my classic car, basiclly EVERYTHING will need to be custom and cost in the 10K plus range for everything, but will get the car in the 8-1,000 HP area pretty easy.

 

if you want to low buck it, find a 80-81 trans am or formula, some of them had factory 301 turbo carbed engines, you could build one of those alot cheaper then a custom unit.

 

Unless you want to build the 301 (an expensive proposition itself) you don't want the Poncho turbo - it will only bolt to a Pontiac motor, and the intake, etc... is specific to the short-deck 265-301.

Instead, if you're interested in building a budget twin turbo car, take a long look here: <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/8668/BudgetTT.htm">http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/8668/BudgetTT.htm</A>

 

Gale Banks did in in 1983 or 1984.

Jester is building a low buck carbed TT motor maybe he can give you some advice. He's a moderator on the carb board.
