That's a pretty thorough list

So toss out the bud and zipties

[mainechev]

2 leaf blowers
PVC piping and various fittings
Duct tape
Funnel on throttle body so you can pour in gas while running the leaf blowers. (gotta keep the A/F mix correct)
Roll cage cuz you're gonna be in the 9's easy

A new intake that will let you run bigger injectors to feed the turbos. A high flow fuel pump to feed the injectors. Lots of mandrel bent pieces of pipe to route the exhaust, and some good welding skills.

You're almost there, just need $3-5k grand more worth of parts. Tear your motor apart and install forged rods, crank, and dished pistons to bring it to 8:1 compression. Get rid of the turbos and waste gate that came in your kit, and get name brand turbos. Do you know what happens when turbos fail? Get better induction. Fast EFI, or get the marine intake and big injectors and change your ECM to a 411 with a 3 bar map. Don't forget EFI live for another $800 to tune the ECM. Get another built 4l60e tranny ready, because that will go quick. Oil feed and return lines, drill bit and tap to drill holes in the oil pan. Boost gauge, vacuum lines, boost controller, bigger fuel pump, bigger fuel lines, etc, etc.

I hate to say it, but you purchased you're turbos a little early. You do have an engine block and a fuel tank though, so you got two items on the checklist.

Nevermind. You should be all set, it doesn't even need air filters. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Small-Block-Chevy-Twin-Turbo-kit-SBC-350-383-750-hp-/350398253798?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D1%26po%3D LVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6011255521233264654

Just go to AutoZone. They have all the dragon stickers and shiny stick on letters or ornamental vents you'll need.

so does walmart. on a serious note. if you already bought the turbos why not just weld them onto the manifold and see what happens?

[cancritter]

to bad this thread went south..was looking forward to readin it...saw them stickons at walmart yesterday to not to mention the obs l saw with stickon scoops today ...poor truck all dressed up as a fool :O(

O'reillys usually carries universal turbo mounting kits, most of the time you have to special order them for your specific make/model. Very simple to install actually, bullet proof instructions. Just be thorough and make sure to ziptie all the connections properly. Alternatively, you could throw a nice nitrous system on it, much cheaper on the wallet and will net you the same gains.

:IMO:, Hundred shot of nos + T56 swap would be best. Easily let you smoke the competition as long as you double clutch off the line and dont blow the welds on your intake

[whitelightnin92]

double clutch lmao... wasnt that on tokyo drift?

Even before that, it was done in an old Steve McQueen movie called "Bullitt". You can hear him double-clutch that old 'stang all over 'frisco.

Sorry OP, but this is too funny

Good idea.

[Mr Brown]

If there weren't some people that are being for real in this thread it wouldn't be funny...
But there are, so it is.....

[Mr Brown]

Just buy one of these and be done with it....

OP. As I said, O'reillys carries turbo kits, just have to ask for them. Special order type thing, guy behind the counter will know what your talking about.


Here's my buddy standing beside the turbo we ordered for his AC130. Picked it up when they had one of their 2for1 specials, couldn't pass it up.
