Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

Ahh yes.. My buddy Ted (cadracer) has been working on his V8 Single turbo setup for a little while now.

The turbo.. yes its a monster. Beau knew this guy who ran a Diesal scrap yard or something, and me and him went out there along time ago & I found this freaking monster turbo on a Dumptruck. I'd never seen such a fatty snail.

Going with the Mexican Gold Paint Job, Ted slapped together a Trailer Park 283 SBC w/ a solid roller .525 lift 302 duration Cam

Shot of the collector.. Not very sexy.. but it came out pretty decent! The bracket is a Chrysler Special tool all chopped up. Had to get something beefy to support this turbo.

The manifold mock up

The manifold all welded up with 2.5 JC whitney ubends and a coat hanger!

Heres the Coat Hanger Master himself!

Tial 35mm Wastegate on the T4 housing

Ted has some more pics, we did a trial run last night with no Wastegate. The turbo would only spool to 3psi. The engine is really way to small for this huge ass turbo, So now were just going to weld a T3 flange onto the manifold and try and find a cheap t3/t4 to use.

To Be continued.... ;D

That is a big ------- Trubo.

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

is that engine actualy goin in a corvette?

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

cool deal, that is a ------- huge turbo :o

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

holy ----, its ------- huge, good luck, we never know what's comin next from you jeff

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

damn thats a huge turbo. Yeah what type of car are you boosting? im very interested for updates

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

looks like a truck ;)

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

Just curious, what made you decide to mount the WG on the actual turbo? That's crazy. I've never seen that done before. It seems like it would work better that way though.

Should be cool with the right sized turbo. That's quite the beast. :o

I have a KKK in my shed...it has an external wastegate type...cast into the turbine casting...weird.

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

Are you running both exhaust manifolds into the turbo or just one side? I mean if you're running on one side... think about it its like trying to spool off of a 4 cylinder. (Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention).

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

I gotta beat RandomStrike to it. <cough> 383 SBC <cough>

That exhaust size must be FREAKIN huge for that thing not to spool, holy ----. Cool stuff man, please make sure he comes to the next HMT BBQ :)

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

yes they are take a closer look at the "manifold"

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

I love it...

I was thinking about upgrading to a different platform like a WS6 Trans am.... I looked in one of their engine bays and they had no room.

That idea you did with the exhaust gives me something to think of...its a possibility if I ever do such a thing.

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

nah its a 283.. they're old truck motors... from the 50s ;)

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

some kid in y highschool has a montecarlo with a 402 in it with dual t4's.

lets just say it broke a dyno. and lets just say the dyno read a max of 800 hp.

pure insanity

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

lets just say kain is probably lying

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

and let's just say he's probably queer.

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

Its a Small block 283 dude, and he should have something by the BBQ. He just bought a set of Skyline GT34 Turbos for a twin setup.

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)

lets just say, stop ------- with my thread or I will ban all you ------- nerds

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

Why didnt you just use a pair of t3's, IHI's, 14b's or something of the like? Was a requirement to be a single turbo setup?

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

the probly used the big ass one cause they had it.

Hey Jeff, do you have a pic of what you constructed for the charge pipes to go into that holley carb?? You can buy one of those hats (I think they call them hats) or build one, I just wanted to see the route you went.

If I had to guess what vehicle that is, I would say an '85ish chevy 1/2 ton short bed 2wd. judging by the 2 core radiator, no power brake booster, alternator placement, and cause I drive an '86 K-5 Blazer :P

Very clean looking truck I like what I saw under the hood.

Oh yeah, I've seen single turbo setups like that before where the driver side header pipe goes under the car to the turbo, using a diesel turbo too.. then again a way smaller turbo and using a much bigger motor. I doubt any v8 could push that big ass turbo all the way, it probably went on a 16 liter diesel motor that took it's sweet time spooling normally.


You guys were killin me on the bashin goin on.. funny stuff.

Re:Project HMT V8 Failure (well... for now)
 

thanks for stopping that jeff. where did child molester come from?
