ryan awesome..but god damn that 950 of your..lol,that thing is the @#$% ha.

Ryan, I see no reason why the car wont hook up on slicks. We have cars out here on the west coast putting over 1000 tq down AT the tires and hooking on 8.5" wide slicks as per class rules. You'll be fine.

Definetly looks like that thing is making some steam.....with your cubes and compression and very small cam definetly no reason that motor shouldn't have been making killer boost very early.....now bolt up bout a 91-94mm thumper and pick up 500 hp no problem!

Id love to built that kinda stuff all day long and get paid for it.

GREAT WORK!!!

I was'nt getting paid LOL

& luckily I have good enough repore with dyno shop that I got 5 1/2 days on the pump & 50+ pulls for free. Big Thanks to Greg Long & Denny @ DL Auto for the tireless efforts this week getting this turd to work.

Nice....What can you say about somebody who thrashes for +5days on a project like that, not getting paid, or just for the fun of it, its still a ton of work...Either you need therepy, or your really enjoying figuring these little wonders out for the knowledge it brings to you. Congrats, many of us are envious we don't get nearly that out of this hobby.

Thanks for the super detailed posting as well, now get some rest, it sounds like you need it. I still think you need therepy though.

PS...And there ARE those of us that do own big Hemi's that know what the small blocks are capable of, with and without boost, it just takes a little determination to follow thru on a project to make it all work.

curiousity question how much would a a piece like that run for?

Great post Ryan! I would love to put a turbo in my Bee. Did you have any issues with the hot side plumbing fitting in the engine bay? I've got a tired 383 that I plan to swap out with a 400 stroked. The original plan was for a 500ci or 512 but with a turbo I won't need that much ci. Do you have any pic's of the engine bay?

When we changed our junk over from P/Charger to twins we had no idea of the learning curve that awaited us. With turbos everything has to be perfect or they don't build boost. After 4 races we were still lost even though we were getting some good help. Add a FI system into the mix and it gets even tougher. Finally, it all came together for us and we are now hauling azz. Turbos work but they have very little forgiveness.

WOW.........That is a thrash and a 1/2

Thanks for the write up Ryan! Congrats on getting it all together as well, I cant wait to hear how it performs in the car.

How much boost and power do you expect on pump gas along? Will you be running it on the 112 or pump fuel once in the car?

im already planning my 48deg w9 (my mopar disease),and with those streets near you, be careful,you'll suck a wood chuck through the turbo,lol well great post u da man!

Good post.
" detail.
" results.

no question its just a matter of time before you build my w9 ,and or your turbo sucks in a democrat or a chipmunk

You ever going to get smart and go EFI?

that is definately a bad azz set up and there isnt many cars that look as mean as a 70 bee! congrats Ryan and a great write up for sure.

Took us only three races this summer to find out why the engine misfires; a faulty water temp sensor that put a safety limiter on at times! The EFI is great! Hoiwever, once it works you can't beat it. I'm not that keen on using the laptop either, but if you like playing with one, you can do a LOT of things with the EFI that you can't with a carb, and without spilling fuel. Maybe we just had christmas when building our engine, but I have not seen anything difficult with the turbos. Just use quality parts where needed, sensibly sized, and common sence should handle the rest.

So you like these heads better then the RP's? How much larger are the ports compared to "as cast"?
