What kind of turbos are they? i have a super T-70 and i'm thinking it's rated to about 700hp...

 

Obviously they aren't t70s twin kit t3's remember?

 

Well the reason i was asking is because mine says a Super T-70 but it's not a Garret and it's not a 70mm...

 

try doing a search on the super 70

 

No i know the spec sheet on mine i was wondering about the turbo's being used in this build...

 

The ebay description says they are GT28RS's. Obviosly they are not real Garretts for the price, but would be interesting to know how close to true GT28RS spec they really are, including whether or not they are ball bearing center section.

 

Break out the old calipers when the turbo goes for the "inspection" so we can relate the compressor trim to the final power.I have a pair of Wa-Line turbos that are rated for 300hp each but the compressor wheels look and measure exactly the same as a Garrett H trim,power output should be considerably higher than 300hp, time will tell.

Did you get Dave to take a peek at them? I have been in Kansas City since Wednesday and am wondering if I need to start saving my 50 dollar bills.

 

Well, like I mentioned above - this build won't get much attention from me until my race car is running. For now, I am just gathering parts. The motor needs to be rebuilt first - it's pretty tired. I have 5-6 projects to complete before this one gets much more money/attention. (I do a bunch of turbofab work)
Honestly I don't expect much from them - if the car makes ~500 h.p.; I'm happy.

I just want my "street" car to run 6.9x@100 this summer and drive home with the A/C. When I want to "really" go fast - I'll get in the other car and run 5.30's.

 

Is this kit just made for a ford??? I didnt see any on e-bay for a chevy motor...

 

The only difference would be the headers. My kit was for a Chevy but I haven't seen them listed for some time.

 

Cool i guess i could e-mail the seller and see what he has for chevy stuff...

 

thats a pretty nice setup for $600

 

any update on this?....think it would clear an a/c compressor on a fox?

 

Nope. I "asked seller a question" about a month ago, and just got the reply. You wont be able retain your A/C with this kit.

how about the powersteering?...if its moved up with the FMS relocator?...

 

The seller don't know jack. There was a car posted on ebay about a month ago with this kit on it, and it had all of the accessories on it - including the a/c. I don't have any updates because I have a ton of stuff going on with a truck I am working on, my street car, and now an extreme street car that is getting a turbo kit in the next month or so - it may be the beginning of summer before I get to this kit.

I did manage to get my new AOD in my street car tonight though. It's raining so I didn't get to drive it .

 

I thought I saw a pic with the A/C and this kit "partly" installed. Whether or not the car will run and not melt something I dont know. Heres a copy of his response. This is the same kit right?

The A/C won't get melted, it's on the wrong end of the turbo

I did some "quick" measuring on the car when I got the kit - it looks like it will fit without moving anything. The only problems I could think of were the downpipe on both sides - the passenger side will be close to the inlet to the throttle body, like nearly all kits. The drivers side will be close to the master cylinder - depending on how sharp the bend is out of the turbo.

 

nice work!
