Turbo User list!

yea, bbs is right, bought it a year ago, hopefully have it all in by end of september. most of the stuff is off ebay. cheap turbo, waste gate and blow off. i figure it will get it running and i can upgrade as things break. i need injectors, fuel rails for my Stealthram, intercooler, material for downpipe and hopefully only about 2 weeks to get it all together.

do you have your turbo installed? how do you like it? what are u running?

got pics?

I have been running since last summer. Had a few things to de-bug, and have spent most of my time tuning this year (running stand alone Commander 950).

It is a tremendous difference since it was naturally aspirated. Pre turbo it went 14.4 @97. Last fall with a massive headwind, 10lbs of boost, conservative timing, and crapy street tires I was able to get a 13.0...@113. I am now running 13~15lbs of boost with more aggressive timing. Hoping to get mid/low 12's @ 118 ish. Trust me, it is a LOT more fun than stock. Plus it is unique which makes it fun too.

I have the same bbs manifold as you, and made all the rest of the pipes myself. I'm running all Turbonetics parts - 62-1 turbo, Evolution wastegate, Raptor blow off, and billet boost controller. I have a lot of pics that might be good reference for you. Rather than hijack this thread, I think I'll start a separate thread. Buy here is a teaser -

not to rain on anbodys perade, but STS turbo systems are incredibly expensive and i talked to one guy, and now they are swering by cetrifugal supperchargers because when they installed the STS systems, they had to wrap the entire exhaust leke 2-3 times to keep the temp up

????? I thought this thread was for turbo users...not turbo haters

j/k LOL!!

[jetice]

i am not a turbo hater. i actually have plans to put twin t3 on my cars. i was just making a statement on the Squires Turbo Systems and how incredible inefecient they are for being a turbo setup

[Corviparo]

Like I said just kidding... Funny, but I have a good friend that has a STS system on his 95 Z. It is kind of sluggish off the line too, but once it gets moving it's pretty sweet. You might be on to something there with the heat loss. STS claims no lag, but it is certainly there.

Im running a borg warner s400 75mm on a 70 firebird. Homemade, it was alot of work but the finished product is worth it! 455 Pontiac turbo 400 trans with a 3.55 12 bolt rear. Strarts to spool around 2600 full boost by 3400. I run at 10 psi but ive had it up to 15psi, no traction! lol.
