That turbo is Tiny!
I think it will live a long happy life.
So........in the layman's terms , he needs a bigger turbo ? I agree......it should work just fine and will probably even deliver exceptional mileage along with enhanced performance.

I picked the turbo because it was small, I've got 2 that came off 6V-92's sitting in the corner. The motor is a .030 over bone stock smogger 318. I'm planning on keeping with the 2bbl carb too. I'm curious about what a little boost will do to crutch the motor. If the motor lives and works out my Son my find it in his 65' Dart. Dave
If you get good at tuning it maybe a person should pick up a set of low compression forged 360 pistons and use the K1 rods with the RHS heads and M1 intake

Lets see what happens to the sacrificial lamb (318) first Zeb. Dustin, I know twin turbos that size would scream but I'm looking at what I'm working with. Stock jobber cast pistons, rebuilt stock heads, resized stock rods. Mickey; The wastegate and blowoff valve will be here next week. I'm waiting for some warmer weather before I crank up the dyno. It was -10 degrees here this morning. Hoping to make some pulls sometime this spring. Cab; I wish you were closer too, I could use some sage advice and help on a project like this. I've never worked with a turbo before, this is more of a learning exercise, and hopefully I'll learn from my mistakes.Dave

I am guessing you arent running a inner cooler so just watch your timing with the heated charge... being that turbo is small its not going to blow it up but detonation might do it... and I guess its just a dyno mule with that cross over so low under the pan

Mike; 110 octane fuel is my friend , and yes it was fabbed up with the dyno in mind. If by some strange chance it survives I'll cobble something together to fit a 65 Dart chassis. Normally whenever I dyno a motor I make the first few pulls on 110 octane to play it safe. Once I get things tuned I start backing down the octane until it tells me what it needs. I've got a distributer machine in the garage also, a nice slow, short curve should fit the bill.Dave

I can tell you with my blown motor experience it's not so much lean as too much timing. Start very low and work up. you'll be surprised how little it takes. Doug
