I have a 1954 dodge truck that i currently have a naturally asperated 360 v-8 in. It blew chunks the other day and today i won an ebay auction for two barely used Garrett T35 turbos with an A/R of .65 on the compressor side, 1.10 on the exhaust and built in wastgates. This summer when it warms up up here i'm going to yank the crappy small block and drop in a 383 big block(not a stroked chevy small block, a chrysler big block) with the t35's on it. I will be intercooling it and it will be rebuilt properly with turbo pistons, heavier rods, and a compression ratio of about 8.5:1. I was wondering if, running premium, what amount of power could i get out of this engine without killing it in say, 2-4 years, and if so, roughly what pressure would i need to run to get that power. I am also curious as to fuel delivery systems. I have access to just about every type and size of carb used on the chrysler v-8's. I would really like to fuel inject it but really couldn't afford it. How do i make a cabureted system work properly? Also, where do you route the oil lines from on the engine and what sizes do i need to supplly the oil? Any sugestions for a good BOV or two? Thanks for the help, this is my first turbo project and i would like to do it right. Josh

 

Hey, you probably won't get much if any help here (Pretty Much Honda Here). Go to groups.yahoo.com/BLOWTHRU and join up. Quite a few functional BlowThru carb apps there. The group was started by my buddy Bryan. He's running a 79 fairmont with a twin T-3's to the tune of 9.87 with a blowthru set up.
If I recall correctly, there is a guy named keith who did a decent set-up ona 440 inside a 'Cuda. If he's not on there he's on groups.yahoo.com/jyturbo.
Good Luck

 

yup thats the group!... lots of info their...
