I'm freshening up my 357 LT1 and building a single turbo setup.

I bought an Innovative GT80 turbo and 51mm Indygate. The turbo has dual ball bearings, 1.32 A/R, R-trim, and divided housing.

Going to be making both headers from 321 stainless, and most likely 1 5/8 primaries. 3.5in downpipe.

Not sure on what to do for an intercooler yet. I'm thinking about front-mounting an ATI 3-core???


Does anyone know if each bank should run one side of the divided housing, or should both banks be joined before the turbo?

My goal is 750-800rwhp. Hopefully I can pull it off

 

hey jim sounds good. Ull have to have a rematch with that skyline. Single to Single. On a side note i sent u an email last week about tuning for my 94 z. Did u ever get it? I just wanna make sure i sent it to the right email addy. Thanks

 

Jim according to a couple of books it helps to keep them separated. That's why they created the divided housing.

Also if you need something welded let me know...

My new TIG works pretty well on Aluminum and Stainless.

 

I'm sure it does. Would you like to rent it out to me

 

Awesome jim...that turbo is capable of some serious airflow.

Did you nab that off of turbomustangs.com? someone had one for sale there

And ya, you are suppose to run each bank into each side of the divided housing

May the boost be with you

 

LMAO....ya considering a 76 p-trim can do that

 

nice turbo, that is what i plan on upgrading to in the future its good for 900rw easy.

 

Your welcome to use it anytime Jim just say the word.

 

Jim, I know this is off the subject so I appologize, but did you sell your crank pulley? Thanks

I dont think it will matter if you leave each bank seperated or route them together on a Sbc v8 setup. the idea behind the divided housing is to use exhaust scavenging effect to help with spool up. Your crossover pipe will bring all the sides from the one bank together so i dont think it will help. If you use log style manifolds it shouldnt matter at all.
