Anymore info on this turbo? WHats it rated HP wise and other specs?

 

Initial build will be NON intercooled just to get it on the street in the spring. Hopefully I'll come up with some $$$ for the Icooler.

Walt

 

Gonna be sweet

 

Making a little progress. Thanks to Gordon for re-welding up the headers...don't ask

Fabbed up the driver/passenger hot side to the turbo. Still a long way to go Don't have the -AN parts for the oil feed/return, Downpipe, Cold side, and Oh yeah...trans needs some work.

SUBSCRIBING
I love it!
keep the info comming.
I have a 69 that I am doing a TV81, 454 in the next couple years.

 

The project is trickling along. Still shooting for an April startup.

Walt

 

Hey Walt, looking good. So what wastegates did you end up using?

Mike

 

I have the twin Deltagates for now. Gonna try them and see what I come up with. Both have 7lb springs. I'll try to go that low before MBC Boosting up.

Just out of curiosity, do you know the wheel size on the 8101?
I have an 8102, that the inducer on the comp. wheel is 3.050" or 77.5MM
just wondering what the diff is in the compressors.

Casey

 

Casey,
The compressor wheel is 85MM
Walt

 

So what size are the delta gates?

 

Small...l 35's.They are all pretty much th esame. Cheap in used form. Some have kept boost down with them...others have not. We'll see. I guess I could add a couple more j/k

Walt

 

You sjhould have like 5 Walt, it would be like having warts hahaha

 

Hope it doesn't take wart quantities to keep boost down...we'll see. I put decent sized pipes to the WG flanges in case I upgrade to something larger.

Walt

 

badass, i am doing a TV8101 on my 455 pontiac so i am VERY interested

 

Yeah! how about an update on this one!

 

How are things comming along? Any updated pics? Is an April startup still the plan?

 

Well, I'm interested aswell in this project as our 455 Buick will be along the same lines. What sort of numbers do your heads flow?
What fuel pump did u go with? What size are your primaries (headers).
Looks good man

Jason

 

I can't remember exact details on the heads. I ported them and opened them up to 2.19 1.88. They are factory steel oval ports. Flow was in the 300 range at 6-.700 but the low lift was excellent. I went an unconventional route on headers. Stepped logs from 2" primary to 3" Inches.
Fuel pump is an SX but I may need to upgrade if I push on the combo harder than I did with the procharger.

I'm only hoping for 9's...your combo will be pushing things harder. The SX wouldn't cut it for your combo. I'd look at magnafuel ...do it once and be done with it. I am curious to see how well the 8101 reacts to the cid's we are running. Should be interesting.
