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'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?

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.

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.

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!
