what turbos do you turboed guys run?im trying to get an idea of whats good and bad.any opinions on a t3/t4?how about running a turbo off one side of the motor?

 

I run 1 turbo off each side of the motor, works great

I run 2 Precision SC-61's

 

...why 2? how much boost are you running?i saw the pics that looks insane.

 

GT45 here.

You DONT want to have one bank a normal header back to the exhaust and the other to the turbo. Both sides should be spooling a turbo (or a pair). It's not a good idea to do it otherwise.

 

.....why is it not a good idea to only use one side?

 

you run a good amount of pressure on the intake side, your boost. But if that's 10psi lets say, between the exhaust valve and the turbo you might see 20-30psi. So if one bank is under that much load pushing against it, and the other isnt, one bank will breathe easier, and the other obviously will work harder, which is bad on the bearings, will effect the tune, cylinder temps, EGT's, everything. the two banks would be totally different.

 

...ok so its best for me to run my turbo off both sides then.now im afraid my turbo is to small for this.i guess i may have to use 2 of them then.i just dont want to over do it.my wastegates are set for 8psi on each turbo t3/t4 would 2 of them be to much?sounds that way to me.what do you think?

 

my 2 turbo's are T3/T4 hybrids, what size turbo's do you have?

 

well at the moment im installing 1 now,i was not aware that 1 would not be enough im still going to run 1 t3/t4 just to see how well it works,im really doing this to improve a low buck turbo build up on LT1's ive been cooking up.ive already done the whole boosted honda thing for 500.00 and made more power and reliabilty than most kits that run 1500.00 to 3000.00...in fact i made the little zc powered crx(stock internals) eat my formula alive it would leave it by 2 1/2 cars in the quarter...for real...oh and the type of turbo im running is a supra t3/t4 cT26 i have a picture of it but for some reason im not able to post it.

 

That is not one of the twin supra turbo's is it? My talon has a T25, and if it is anything close to it that thing is dinky and will never flow enough air for a 350!

 

...oh no no no.its off a single turbo supra i wish i could post a picture of it.and yes t25's are small thats what i ran on my crx i worked excellent on that car,this supra turbo is quite large it makes the t25 look like a M&M.....how do i post a pic it says im not allowed

 

You can't post pics on this site, you have to host them on your own page.

 

oh ok.well i have no clue as to how i go about doing that.you wouldnt happen to have a picture or diagram of a single turbo crossover pipe would you?

 

Not on my webpage, but I proabably have one on my computer if you want I could email it to ya.

Look under the PTK threads, they have some pics of their setup which has a crossover.

 

I run a pair of IHI/Borg Warner diesel turbos off a GM 1-ton...



but I am a little different...
