 Post subject: Twin Turbo 355???
PostPosted: Sat Nov 15, 2003 1:31 pm 
Has anyone installed a twin turbo small block into their LUV? Does/Will it fit? I am picking up a 350 out of a 70 Chevelle ( 300 factory ponies ) I want to punch it a 355 and then put 2 T4 turbos on it with a big intercooler :twisted:. Not sure if it will work though. If any one has pictures of this being done I would LUV to see them.
Thanks Again
SPEED

While I think I've only heard of it being done once (one of my brother's Syclone/Typhoon buddies, I think) it is plenty feasible. I have seen Big Block twin turbo manifolds for sale, and realistically with enough ingenuity anything can be done.

Also, finding mods for a small block chevy is about as hard as finding dirt on the ground. Odds are, someone has done it and sells a kit for it.


Now, just some pointers for you if you want them:

-Run low compression. Around 8:1 to 9:1 if you're planning on pump gas. The turbo is going to raise compression a lot. Too high of compression means detonation and that pretty new engine getting destroyed.

-Buy Forged Everything! Forged parts for the small block are cheap. Just fork out the extra little bit of cash and build yourself an engine capable of withstanding an occasional detonation. It does happen.

-Polish Everything. Tops of pistons, cylinder head combustion chambers, intake, everything. Polished surfaces reflect heat which will also lower the chance of detonation. Not to mention it will look nice and pretty!

Do those few things and you could run a pretty massive turbo system on the engine. Lotta HP gain.

Hope this helped some!

I plan on running JE inverted domes, A Dart block, Brodix heads, Lunati Crank and Rods, Two Turbonetics T4 Turbos, Jesel belt drive, Jesel Rocker Assembly, along with some others. I have seen this combo put out over 1000 horse and it Broke the Dyno at 1000 ft/lbs, In a '67 Vette.

Thanks
