For the Holset camp, I would look at an HX-60 (a little big for what you need, but gives you some room to grow) or a pair of HX-40's with T4 hot sides, anything T3 is too small, and too restrictive for that kinda cubes. In the Garrett camp for that HP range I would look at GT42 T6 hotside, off of Detroit series 60's.

I believe you can get either borg or holsets in the HT3B variety, or the Turbo from a CAT C7, there is one more that is on the tip of my tongue, but I don't seem to be able to spit it out.

With those cubes and those power goals, at this point any truck turbo from an engine 14L - 16L, 70mm - 80mm inducer should work great.

listen to JD

S400 series dollar for dollar can't be beat.

Check this build up: S400 turbo, 60mm Chinese wastegate, Ebay Intercooler
http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/in...?topic=84871.0

5.45 in the 1/8th = 8.50 in the 1/4, if not faster as the power comes on hard up top when that car is hooked.
Whats the Car, A body with Electronic ignition, you find yourself another Dart sport?

Maybe we will bring my brothers car out on the 18th so you can see it and how easy it is go go fast in the right platform.

OP: That's a good deal on the S400. I'd just go with that.

FAST68: Nice build, very well planned and executed, but the thread is 10 pages of guys sackriding mediocre TIG welding.

Hey BDVT, this is Andrew, Dustins brother with the Turbo Dart.. couple comments and suggestions...

First of all, WTF kind of heads are those on that 413? They are not normal bigblock Mopar heads..

Second, the 413 is an odd engine to start with, very very rarely used by anyone trying to make power.. im guessing the old 413's used a different type of head, but if thats the case, I would DEFINITELY steer clear..

If your gonna go bigblock, id look at building or buying a 451, which is a lowdeck 400 stroked with a 440 crank.. they are light rotating assembly, short block for easier packaging, good rod ratio, biggest bore of any factory motor, and can make a ton of power.

That being said though, why not stick to a smallblock? I thought my brother said you already had a trans for a smallblock laying around anyways.. and 408's are pretty much the regular occurence in Mopar land anyways. 360 with a 4 inch crank, waa lah, 408 inches of goodnesss... ALOT lighter, and big inches really arent needed with a turbo car as you are well aware..

Just as a told my brother to post, the BW S400's are a killer deal for the money, and if I ever sell my kit, i'll probably build a kit based on one... If you wanna chat about more Mopar turbo specifics, call my brother and get my number.. id be happy to chat your ear off...
