A big upgrade over my D1sc Procharger. I used all scrap stainless/aluminum to build this setup. At the heart of it is a master power T70. The megasquirt system is VERY turbo friendly with it's 4 bar map sensor and on-board boost controller. The .96 a/r exhaust housing provides pretty good response with good top end power. I should have it at the dyno shop sometime this month.


Low profile intake tubing


4" intake with turbo mounted in the same area as the D1sc


Megasquirt Based ECU mounted




Comments/Suggestions welcome.

 

looks good, get us a video more specs on your setup would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, hopefully I will have time to take more pics/vids this weekend .

 

what does it consit of?? like what turbo, what headers, DIY?? any build pics? Stock motor? PSI ??

Looks good tho!

Thanks, DIY FTW.

I wish I had build pics, but I'll get some close ups.

master power T70,
two passenger side manifolds one turned around,
4340 H rods/crank
JE pistons 8.8:1 CR
reworked stock LT1 heads that flow about what LT4s do
setup for 10 PSI (more boost to come once I get bigger injectors I'm thinking 70# range)
Stock fans/radiator, A/C still blows nice and cold

 

Niiice same plans as me.I may go with a S400 tho...did u stay stock size or 355? Which rods did u use eagle? And did you need to clear the block?

Sorry for all the Q's Im tryin to buy all of my parts :P

hey jay get ahold of realquick on here and im sure he can point you in the right direction on doing your own kit. i use to have a site saved in my favorites that he uses sometimes to order parts cheap.

 

Are those custom JEs? or are you running a 6" rod?

 

355
Eagle rods/crank
And yes I had to clear the block a little. I wanted to keep all the stock accessories and came to the conclusion that the s400 was too big. I know alot of boat guys in the area that use eagle stuff on 1400 HP big blocks and the failure rate seems to be the same as "better" brands.

 

Shop around, I did most of mine one ebay. I did my whole setup for $1300 ish minus the motor and PowerLT1 ECU.

How much boost are you running and with what CR and do you show any knock retard?

sean, looks nice. Any chance u can get me a bigger pic of your intake routing?

I just did a hotside build for my car (look in thread called "my turbo progress"). What did you do as far as hotside?

 

I used the stock crossover and just modified it to fit, I'll try to get some pics this weekend. Turbo systems have so much back pressure I didn't see a point in building headers for my setup.

 

what injectors are you running? how you liking megasquirt?

 

I'm running 42# right now I'll upgrade to some nice low impedance injectors soon since the MS based system can drive them without any modification. The MS system is awesome, way more bang for the buck than any other system, plus its the only complete PNP setup that I know of for LT1 cars.
