Re: possible twin turbo on 78 chevy truck
 

I've got my eye on those turbo manifolds for the SBC. Once I get moved into my new shop I'm thinking about boosting my '90 Caprice beater if it doesn't sell. It will after I boost it >:D 350 cubic inches of fuel injected goodness...would be perfect for mega-squirt.

single turbo = big ass turbo

twins = 2 smaller ones, cheaper.

what exatcly is megasquirt

Re: possible twin turbo on 78 chevy truck
 

megasquirt is a fuel management unit for fuel injected motors, so not something you'll need to look into with your truck. You will, however, need a different carb.

Re: possible twin turbo on 78 chevy truck
 

why do i need a diff carb

Re: possible twin turbo on 78 chevy truck
 

holleys are tried and true with blow through turbo setups. most aftermarket support of any carb on the market too. screwdriver adjustible jet size meter blocks ftw... plus the full line of every performance and application specific part you can think of.

plus its OMG HOLLEY

Ahh man, the guy you need to get ahold of is Cadracer on this form.

Twin turbo's on a V8,

and your saying " not to expensive " heheheheh >:D FUNNY

these aren't hondas that every one in the world makes a part for.

This is all custom, The carb is gonna be much , what ever you find make sure it's a blow thru carb, mech. secondaries.

V8's don't like boost without an intercooler, 200 $ and up for twin turbo to single outlet,

NO motor likes to ping, so you gotta setup a boost referenced timing module ( msd BTM ) 400 $

and this and that minor things like, keeping the power to the ground, without snapping axles.

What motor is in your truck ?!

The exhaust is all in the easy part,

get a set of short, block hugger headers, and turn them upside down, that way, you can run the turbo's directly on the headers, or run the piping to where ever you need

Cadracer's got the plan down !! i've got a few ideas of my own for this kinda setup too, if you've got the will power and time, we'll help you get this done,

and uhh ....welcome to the fourm ;D

Re: possible twin turbo on 78 chevy truck

Re: possible twin turbo on 78 chevy truck
 

they may work, depending on all the frame setups, and personal prefrence on where you want your turbo's to sit,

it isn't cheap, i'll give you that, !! but it kicks a bunch of ass when your done with it !!
