Hey all, looking at throwing and s400 and intercooler on my 79 Malibu sbc. I'm not too concerned with with intercooler piping and I have the ability to get headers but before trying to fab it all up is there anyone out there that makes a single turbo kit for these cars?? I've seen the cx racing twin kit but who knows how nice they are. Any help would be awesome. Thanks! Or if anyone has some pictures they could share of their car with a single turbo intercooler set up I would appreciate it. Thanks again! #ad

my guess would be a one off piece. I have personally never seen a kit for your car

I've been looking with no luck :/ and heard mounting an intercooler in a bu can be a real job. Thanks for the reply

 

I'd probably experiment with the CX kit if I didn't feel like fabbing. They're half decent.

I've been considering selling this hotside so I can move my turbo behind the front bunper. SBC/LT1 stainless headers, T6 flange, 2.5" to 3.5" merge, 4.5" downpipe exits under the car. Under the car it goes from a single 4.5" to dual 3.5" with bullets and exits in front of the rear tires. V-bands throughout. PTE 66MM wastegate. Everything under the hood is wrapped. $1200 with the gate, $800 without. Located in the stl area.

 

I can tell you safely to avoid the XS power kit - it isn't worth the effort. Build your own manifold - cheap. Interms of getting the CAC into a G-body, I don't if there is an easier chassis to work on. Man is there a ton of room. #ad

I would be interested but im a ways away. That is an interesting set up. Are you running Meth inj on that?

This is that wrap around the back kit isn't it?

 

No meth. E85. If you're interested I can help with shipping. If I'm going to make a change I'm going to have to do it soon or I won't be able to run this year

Yes, we are running meth now, but not when it was first setup. And the headers do connect via a crossover that is under the pan. But those XS Power headers have cracked/leaked at least 10 times. We are in the process of building a new motor that is going to use flipped manifolds and crossover in the front witha T6 VS racing turbo.

 

Im sorry. I am a long way and many parts away from needing to order it yet. Still trying to get my shit together with timing and due systems and more research. Thank you for the offer though.

 

Oh ok I misunderstood. I thought you meant that you were a quite a ways away geographically!

.

 

That too but there more distance between my brain fully wrapping my head around everything I need to do to build this and not blow up an expensive motor haha

 

How is that meth with driving on the street? im trying to keep it street driven 93 octane but am stuck between F'ing with an intercooler or just running it directly in
and playing with water meth

 

I have a Nice Snow kit id sell pretty cheap. I run E85 and love it but it is readily available where I am

 

It's been quite reliable, but it comes on at 3 psi, so for normal driving it stays off. It uses very little until we can keep it under load for extended periods repeatedly.

Water meth is activated by a pressure switch. Most kits just activate full tilt at a set pressure. The razors kit is progressive, and works off of a map sensor iirc. Really popular with the turbo Buick guys. I ran 12psi on pump gas only on an 9.25:1 iron head 377 with a blow thru.

 

Nice ill be reading that thread from top to bottom. Looks about the same as ill be doing. Thanks for the help
