some headers my brother bought. I am gonna make a single turbo setup from them, and sell it. I'll throw a single 72mm on them with some v-band clamps, and a medium wastegate. For the twins I am building my own headers.

Jet Pumps / Impeller starting point help

« on: April 20, 2012, 01:19:40 PM »

Okay I am working on a Crusader tunnel project, that is going from a Blown BBC to a Turbo LS. The Berk pump currently has a stainless AA, and I am sure this turbo LS is not gonna turn it well. I have done a ton of high horsepower 4cyl stuff in the past and the hardest part of the equation was getting the converter right. I'm not saying that a pump is exactly the same, but they do share similar loading characteristics. I am leaning toward a B/C cut with the thought that is will be loose enough to let the turbos light and then load it down properly. The motor should make about 800 on moderate boost, and will happily spin 6800-7000. I am not expert, and looking for advice. Thanks in advance...

The problem is the two wastegates. I am lucky to have a buddy that owns a turbo shop. I went a bit large on the turbos but I always do. Two 66mm units should do nicely...

B series = wrong rotation. K series = correct rotation. K series and a turbo = light and fast...

the project is once again moving. Sorry for the delay, life has been busy. I ended up starting a telcom company that has been eating my time something fierce. I am just now finally taking a step back and getting to work on my projects. I decided to go twin and ordered two turbos today, along with a large list of other components. Memorial weekend is close and I will have this boat out for that...

Hit a little snag, changed my mind on the turbo size, and mfg. I have some pretty high tech turbo technology on the way soon...

the choke horn is milled off for flow/turbulence reasons, and its on the primary side. E85 spilled out when I opened the package, they ran it on the dyno before shipping to me, sure smelled good. It brought back a lot of memories and put some pep in my step...

got some more work done

I happened to be designing the side pieces to bolt to the front plate when the power went out last week, lost about 6 hours of work, totally my fault. I have been working on it little by little this week, I have a version 2.0 already done, its much sexier...

I'll take whatever parts you have. I was in your hood today. I had to run up to Oceanside, and pick up a turbo. As far as progress the carb is getting done, turbo is picked up, more parts are ordered. I wanted to have the block in by now but the parts I was having waterjetted are taking forever, if they aren't done by Tuesday I will just do them myself. Just gotta keep at it...
