Very interested...Tax return time is almost here.
1-Question, is this for a single turbo, or twins?
And the Schumacher thing kills it for me right there, that guy is an idiot, and you can tell him I said that.
Most of us use a front engine plate anyways. You need the rigidity with all that weight because you don't want it flexing around. Potentially, a BBM and a turbo can make big Hp numbers, so stockish mounts that can melt...Probably not the best idea. Not to mention, many after market blocks, do not have stock motor mounts.
I called the supercharger store yesterday wondering what to do with a 400 block I can get my hands on...A single turbo deal would be a lot cheaper, if you can fab the headers, life would be really good.
For us, primary size would be 2" to 2-1/8", and material, would have to be somthing that can take the heat. Could be as simple as a header log, it does not have to be fancy. Hemi Fred was making huge Hp with a set of home fabbed header logs.
Heads for us will be either Indy 440-1's or EZ1 heads again....We like the EZ1 heads on the RB, and I think if we build a 400, we will opt for the 440-1's...
It will be just a set of headers without a cross over. At that point they could have a V-band installed and run a cross over or just do a turbo flange off of them, this is all stemming from about a 3paragraph sales pitch to a company I figured would ignore me. As for the motor plate, I dont have one in my car and my car would be used for the first set to be made, unless someone wants to offer up their car. I dont have the money for a set of raised port heads so were back to square one there.
