Y2k turbo
The class I am running has changed its rules so I'm pulling my twin t60-1 turbos and installing a turbonetics y2k. I'm looking for people who has installed these big turbos or somethig similar and what the best layout would be in my 95 Z28

Re: Y2k turbo
The big turbo's I've seen in F-bodies are mounted sideways in front of the motor.
I'm curious about your setup. I have 2.73 gears, th-350, and my Vigilante 2800 stalls to 5200+. I run out of gear at ~150 mph. How are you running with 4.30's? What sort of times do you run?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Y2k turbo
I never got it to the track with this setup only the dyno And I thought the same as you with the gears. My engine builder said that the engine is built to shift @7500 rpms so it would be close. I have a trans-king converter that was a 4200 that I blew right by on the dyno so I sent it in and had it redone and I am picking up my new powerglide tomorrow

Re: Y2k turbo
I guess you miss understand. Are the headers and plumbing something you built or did you buy them.If you built them would you be interested in building more or if you bought them can you tell me from where?

Sorry cody. I will not be making any more turbo systems until spring or summer 2006. However, do a search on chevy stainless in ebay motors exhaust section and you will find some none magnetic s-10/blazer v-8 headers that will work. Just have a welding shop put some 2 1/2 or 3" v-clamps on the ends and raise the dr side (#7) tube up one inch. That should get you going for under 400.00 dollars.
I know you have seen the system SmoknZ, I was just razen ya.
