It has been decided that we are going with 76/75 Precision Turbos with a T4 exhaust side and an "H" cover. These are the billet wheel CEA compressors and will make the same power with less overall boost, due to efficiencies throughout the system with the potentioal to make way more power than the old turbos... . Where the 67/66's were straining, these will be relatively loping along.

The boost wont hit as fast or as early, but when it hits, hang the hell on... It'll be wild, and I don't race at low RPM's anyway.

We are also looking at a substantially larger intercooler which will add to the overall efficiency. We are going to try to keep the IAT's in the 30 - 50 degrees above ambient or less. That may not be possible but that's the goal.

The intercooler we are looking at is 27 x 5 x 12 inches and rated for 1700 HP with a 1 psi drop across the cooler.

To fit these turbos in the same location we had the smaller turbos, we will be notching the frame and boxing it in.

This is with the understanding of how I drive the car and the intentions of well in excess of 200 at the mile. I've been assured the frame will be as strong or stronger than it sits right now.

We are also looking at changing the front bumper, possibly to a tube bumper to support the bumper cover and allow access for air flow to the inter-cooler. We did some modifications to the original bumper but this will be more in depth.

You probably don't even need the extra pressure till fourth gear anyways, I have a feeling this is just what the doctor ordered

*SSE 4 2SS* · 05-28-2013, 08:35 PM

What the doctor might have ordered is ProEFI.... I might end up with that nasty ill system in Brandi... Stay tuned

Robert, can't wait to see the set up come to life. I want to get back to the mile!

I edited the comment about EFIlive pro... It's actually ProEFI we are looking at...

Is that a stand-alone ecm? Does it play well with the bcm? I don't recall what system speedster used, but it pissed off the bcm pretty bad

According the what I've heard, it works along side the BCM. It's an engine management system... With tons of fail safes...

*SSE 4 2SS* · 05-30-2013, 07:12 PM

So, my turbo kit has been sold... and will go on another Camaro...It will only be running on 7 or 8 lbs of boost though, so nothing in the range we were running it... It's a young man in San Antonio that will get it... We have to put a new motor in his car anyway...

We already have a list of parts and will start ordering them soon....

The turbos, the piping, the flanges for the exhaust and the intake manifold... the oil scavenge pump, etc...

Going to be fun,

*TAG UR IT* · 05-31-2013, 12:23 AM

You're going to put turbos in my car?!?! I didn't know my engine needed to be rebuilt! SWEET!

now...trying to figure out who the heck this is....lol
