Turbo Suggestions for BBC ?
 

I'm helping a buddy turbo his 65 nova. He is building a 8.8:1 compression 496 stroker for it. He wants to go with a single turbo setup hoping for 1000 whp. Would a GT45 (.69 AR compressor/1.05 AR Turbine) be big enough? He said he can get a used one pretty cheap. If not, any suggestions. Holset?

Two would be enough. ;)

Jesus man a 496 anything shouldnt have a problem putting 700+ to the ground, an extra 300 from a tiny huff of boost isnt a stretch. Hope the rest of the car can take it...

I was just worried that the exhaust AR would be too restrictive for all those damn cubic inches.

T6 exhaust side required for sure.

I would look in the 88mm - 91mm size range, yes I realize that this is way overkill, but it will at least get out of that motors way when not in boost.

It would work fine, over kill on the compressor side (good for about double what you are after), but its not like a 496 doesn't have enough torque to shed the tires on the street all by its self anyway.

The hx55 with the big exhaust side would be enough turbo, but I would goto at least a an hx60, and probably right to that 82, if you have the room.
