V8 turbo
 

anyone on here have a V8 turbo? I am in the process of turbo'ing my 94 camaro z28. I have a rebuilt T04 turbo. I am trying to figure out exactly how to make my exhaust manifolds and a few other mounting issues? anyone have any tips or links for me/>?

Re:V8 turbo
 

One turbo for both exhaust manifolds?

Will that turbo push a big V8 like that?

Re:V8 turbo
 

yea one turbo for two maifolds. Ever seen a typhoon or syclone?...you could maybe find room where the two manifolds join but im sure its tight under there

Re:V8 turbo
 

Seems like that might me easier, maybe even more cost effective to do a twin turbo setup.

You can find turbos cheap. Get two simple manifolds made rather than one complex one, pipe to an intercooler, and into your throttle body..

Re:V8 turbo
 

if its a big enough manifold. turn your headers upside down and route piping infront of the water pump. then put the downpipe back down under the car..

also u have to have some kind of EFI. i know holley makes one for like 2500$ but i think u could do it home made style. heres what i was thinking

www.megasquirt.com

now this little box is a control module for 4 injectors, i believe. (duno if u can run 8 injectors?) you would need 2 megasquirt boxes if it wont run 8 all at once. now the megasquirt box needs input from the MAP sensor and O2 sensor. (might wanna consider a wideband o2 for tuning)

- also need to drill out and make places for the injectors to go on the intake. (450cc's) i dont know if 450cc's would put out enough fuel for the big v8, who knows..

the hard part will be setting up the fuel maps for the v8 because i am sure no one has ever done this. i am sure u could find someone who has them somehwere.

this is how i would do a v8 project.

hope that helps some.

he doesn't have to put both exhaust manifolds into the turbo. only one. thats how single turbos work. just keep one all the same and put the other one upside down and make an adapter plate

We are going to be doing a small block 400 Duel bank feed into a Diesal turbocharger.. should be very interesting.. Using stock ram horns upside down..

will that work with only one side of manifold powering the turbo

"will that work with only one side of manifold powering the turbo"

yes
