I know about that fact but Mr Nelson told me that there are several sources to get remanufactured turbos, so why to pay 1600 for one if I can get a pair for that price?

As for the Tec3 I got a friend who would sell me the computer but he got only coil packs for a 4 banger, I think about to buy that but I dont know if I get all the rest of the pieces for the system like the harness and so on.


Thanks

this thread is developing like most desk top racing projects.. it starts out with a goal of making a 1000 hp engine that gets decent mileage... and this problem is solved.. you get good advice on how to.. what cam to get etc.. a turbo this size propably costs under 1000 bucks if you get the right one... and then you start worrying about how it will look, and twins etc...

there are cars out there running sum 5 second 1/8 mile with a single turbo and flipped shortie headers... you could most likely mount a pair of truck logs backwards and run tubes to a single (with the split housing you wont get much benefit from running twins anyway) and meet your powergoal...

why have you suddently decided you need twins? the story about distance dont fly, if you want a turbo to spool well you want longer softly flowing tubes.. look at tom nelson´s you would add perhaps 10 inches of pipe to run a big single... i doubt you can feel the difference.. and i dont understand why you would spend twice as much money on somthing that only makes a difference with the hood open

but if you must then look into some masterpower T70´s they are cheap and good quality.. think they cost somthing like 550 dollars new.. just remenber you also need two wastegates, twice as much tubing, custom headers etc---

Why do you say suddenly, look how the thread is named.
I read Corky Bells Maximum Boost and try to keep his advice.

What to buy a book for if I dont follow the hints in it.

Also Mr Nelson build Twins always.

I am sure the Masterpower´s are fine but my problme is I am not a turbo pro and I need a exact recommendation.

I cannot order a Turbo by saying i want a T70 or something else sincen a lot of parameters are to know to order a turbocharger.

I trust that Mr Nelson will tell me the source as soon as got time and the right turbo-parameters as well.

Thanks so far

ok, you posted this same **** on TTF and eveybody there told you a pair of S475's or a pair of master power GT45's

Jesse on TTF has made 1450hp to the tires with out an intercooler on e-85 with two GT45's from master power... you honestly just have to do more reading and research, and if you dont want to a turbo system is not for you then.

not to be an ass, but seriously do more reading and research on how some of the other guys are doing, because garenteed other people have been in your situation, there is such thing call a "search" botton.

there are actually shops out there that know what they sell you know! its not like buying vegetables, you call up a shop and say "i need a set of yurbos for this and that engine".. and they will spec you a pair that works for what you want.. all you need is to figure out what you want and what you can afford....

i bought a pair of turbos from Schwartz racing and after discussing my costumers needs and how the car was going to be driven he sent me a matched set.. and i didnt worry about inducer or exducer size, housing trim A/R ratios or anything... he even spec'ed me a Masterpower T70 for my ls1... no engineering charge, jus the price of the turbo...

so id say give jeff a call (you can find him in the vendors side bar under schwartz extreme performance) and he will hook you up with somthing in your price range...

Sounds interesting, I will look what Tom Nelsons opinon for the parameters is and what shops he know for used ones, does Schwartz selling remanufactured ones too.

To ask at a shop is what I did first but they offered me just what they had and sometimes also that no-named turbos from China. As far as I know what exactly I need I will look for a shop how got remanufactured turbos altough I still hope that Tom will find the name of the shop he was talking about.

Thank you Douce

What a useless posting,

I AM SORRY FOR TRYING TO GET INFORMATIONS

Obviously you dont have the smallest idea how much research I do and how much I read but until now I did not get the infos I need.

How you said your self, I have different recommendations and all for different sizes so and what is the bigger problme, always only about sizing but no additional parameters.

I dont understand how to plot a turbo map and all that stuff and if I had found a forum where I can communicate to Tom Nelson I would have asked my questions first and only there anyway.

If I ask the same question ten times it is also not your business, if you are not interested to help why do you answer to such a thread???

We have an old saying in Austira: If you cannot say something intelligent, say nothing at all.

Thanks at to all the other how spend time to help me
