Quik Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 alright i guess ill make a thread to show some my progress for my turbo build. to details i have a PTE88. for some thats a precision 88mm turbo. .96ar. i have a Lunati 408 shortblock, ill be topping it off with a set of AFR 225 LBs, LS2 intake. my goals are 4 digits on the dyno, run mid 10s in full weight trim minus tires/wheels. i also have a 50mm Tial BOV on its way and will be picking up a 60 tial WG in near future. im using an Ebay 4" core, my intake tubing is 3" stainless then exiting and going to TB with 4". ill be running a 4" downpipe with exhaust and exiting out the side as my old exhaust once did. all tubing will be powdercoated and the hot side will be jet-hot'd. anyways now onto the pics if some are concerning, my air compressor died so i couldnt do anymore cutting for the night, so some tubes need trimed up. also to some of the gurus that done this if you see anything out of ordinary please comment on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbents10 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 You could go 10's on stock cube motor with a 76, so we know its got enough motor and turbo to go 10's. You will be fighting high p/r's from the exhaust housing when doing so though. 1000fwhp yes, 1000 to the tires....no, especially if its awd. Looks very nice though, that intercooler should do the job nicely too. Its similar to Blackburn's and he went 119 with full weight in 85 degree heat(3200ft DA), with lots of meth. The heads are a nice choice because of the deck thickness too, should stay down with what power you will make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) I'm calling shotgun. I do not know enough about turbo sizing to say if 88 is too big or not but from the looks of things I say your effort looks very well researched and top-drawer on the install; and I really like your choice of heads. Who did the headers - is that Allen Nelson's kit? Mr. P. Edited December 5, 2007 by Mr. P. (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quik Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Well today i redid my 3" pipe. along with doing that i mocked up my 4" IC to Tb tubing. hopefully tomorrow i can get them fully welded and possibly to the powdercoater within the next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric.dally Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 That thing is a pretty sweet looking setup! I really like how clean your engine compartment looks with the way the tubing is run. You should have no problem of reaching your goal with that. Whats the rest of the drivetrain gonna be to hold up to that kinda power as far as tranny and rear end? Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
