turbo kits almost ready - POLL INSIDE! - 01/06/09 08:24 PM

Our SMALL BLOCK turbo kits will be ready for release this spring.
Just wanted to do a quick poll regarding your preferences for a single or twin kit and what you desire for HP.

Thanks for sharing any input.

Are you talking big block or small block?

I'm such a dumb @$$!! Forgot to put that in there. Thanks for catching that.

We're starting with the small block kit. So this poll is for the small block.

I'll take a twin set-up for a small block that tops out around 800hp....I had a deal on here previously with a member of this forum for a twin set-up, and that went south....I had money in hand.

I like the singles for the simplicity, but hooking one up to a dual exhaust isn't the easiest task as far as the piping goes. Good luck with the kit.

Good luck with it. I have six different sets mopar sb heads and all take different flanges and flange location. I'm sure you know this though.

what body are these for or are they universal?

Re: turbo kits almost ready - POLL INSIDE! - 01/07/09 11:44 PM

We're hoping to have a universal kit. We've been working around a car with the tightest (original) engine bay we can get our hands on.

This kit was based around a traditional port configuration. If there is a large demand for a turbo kit to fit a W9 or whatever, it won't be hard for us to adjust accordingly.

I've been offering an entry level SB kit that will support anywhere from 350-750 horsepower in single form and fit any body style with only a downpipe change and zero cutting to the body, and I have had very little luck making sales. Very few Mopar people are willing to make the leap into something as "exotic" as turbocharging.

It seems that in the Mopar world, people either wanna build a mild 360/408, or a 440" W9 headed twin turbo motor, and not much in between. Its very hard to offer a kit for every different bodystyle, steering gear, exhaust flange, not cut the car and make it basically modular for future changes.

Good luck with your kit.

This would be a good place to ask your question also. Seems most everybody there wants 1000hp right off the bat - lots of dreamers there...

In the past I had an idea that I was going to mass-produce my 4.7 turbo kit. I got a whole bunch of naysayers who thought I built it wrong. Another whole bunch of dreamers who wanted 1,500 hp with stock internals, and then another set of guys who wanted it for nothing. After hitting up all of the forums, I got not a single person who would commit to even $10 up front. I blew off the idea and decided I'd just let somebody else deal with the "public".

I'm pretty sure I still enjoy owning the quickest 4.7 Dakota on the planet! LOL

(Yeah, I know. Nobody else would bother trying to make one with a 4.7 go fast) It's a sickness, but I'm seeking professional counseling down at the speed shop.

PM me, or do you have a website with details? in this day and age of fluctuating fuel prices, I've long thought of going the other way---basic 318 build, with mag heads and mild cam, say something that N/A would be 300-330 horse/tq, and then tossing say 10-15 psi boost on it to get into the 500-550 HP/TQ range...I want the docility and fuel economy of a stock motor, but 2-3 times the HP....

is your kit just the turbo plumbing, or turbo plumbing and appropriately sized turbo? does it include the fuel metering system (carb or efi?)

**EDIT** looked at your website, but details were a little sparse...also, what would it take to fit with PS? is your kit a single or twin setup? do you use stock manifolds or headers, or does your kit come with the necessary exhaust parts, too?

Price structures are still being finalized. As soon as we have a good grasp on that, we'll be more than happy to share.
Our intentions are to make the highest quality kit for the most reasonable price we can.

Re: turbo kits almost ready - POLL INSIDE! - 01/09/09 12:29 PM

My vote would be for a twin turbo with blow through carb, with option for an intercooler. Power needs to be reasonably stout to make it worth-while and attractive for people to buy... Best of luck with your venture!

also what fit's better in the car. How much do we have to cut. I have always wanted to use 2 on a BB charger. I would mount them in front of the core support, there is a ton of room up there and it would keep some heat out of the engine bay.

You know I say If you spend all this money for engine parts that will handle 1000 hp then why not!
