Dutweiller Stage 2 Twin 60-1s HYBRID?

[carmelo gaudite]

I am looking for some suggestions on what do you think is the coolest and right donor car to receive a Dutweiller Stage 2 twin turbo (60-1s). It will come with a built th400 with Gear Vendor 4th gear, brake and line lock, Motec computer, Ford 9", etc... it is an excellent street/strip running car right now (87 GN) but I'm thinking of transplanting the whole set up on something unique that can handle 1,200 RWHP. Thanks

My thoughts:
Willy's Coupe
60 Chevy Bel Air
66 Nova 2
50 Shoebox Ford

Future home of a 109 motor. S2 sound better.

The 60-1s will not make 1200RWHP.
Our previous Duttweiler Motor with those turbos made 1049 FWHP on Duttweiler's Dyno. The boost was around 30psi as well.
You can probably make 900 to 950 RWHP with those turbos.

My Blue 86 T Type would be the perfect donor car!!!

John, that hybrid was always on my list and wondered why no one ever did it. I can wait to see it completed. Good luck.

 

[John Wilde]

To be honest a 3rd gen GTA would be nice.
Kind of a stage 2 turbo trans am!

How about a 65-67 vette.?

 

[Mike Licht]

John I always loved that little car can't wait. I was thinking 62 vette for me

Chevys are cool but I'd like to see a 1954-1957 Buick Coupe or Wagon. That or what I call "Car-Evil"... a 1959 Buick Invicta. That would be downright sinister.

The previous owner had it dynoed @ Dut's shop and came out with 1,200 rwhp (don't know what boost though) or maybe it's not a 60-1. I called his shop last week and they confirmed that this combo can produce that power. Anyway, shoot me some photos of your blue car John, mail it to james08109@aol.com , thanks

thanks for your input tyrfryr how's your Datsun runnin with the LC2? was it an easy transplant?

That sounds good too and I'm sure there's plenty to choose from.

Actually, it's on my list already and I've been watching what's available out there. I have a 69 convertible and I hate to destroy the car because of its originality and low mileage (38K) but it looks really good to become a twin turbo car.

Here's some potential candidates and maybe somebody had done it before; a 635 CSI body and dress em up to look like an M6, an early 5 series Bimmer and dress em up as an M5, 80-87 Vettes or older, Cobra from Factory Five shell, an old T-bird convertible, 3rd gen Trans am, 84-87 Regal and make it to look like factory,79 to 84 911 Porches, a 928, 55 Chevys, older Benz SLs, or any other potential donor that is unique.

(With the Datsuns you can pretty well update to the latest of suspesion drivetrain pieces)

A Cobra like Casper's with the vette suspension is a given for being a great set-up.

If you're doing a from *0* car, then a Cobalt would be a *first*.

How about a vista cruiser station wagon tubbed?

thanks to everybodys' input I am actively lookin for the right donor and I will post the progress of this project, who knows I might retain the GN and make the exterior as close as can be as a GNX clone.

 

[John Wilde]

The GNX Clone sounds good!

 

[carmelo gaudite]

I think that made sense it will save me a lot of time and mullah and besides I don't have to transfer a thing just bolt the extra body braces (front & rear), GNX fender flares and vents, do a spindle drop, maybe GNX emblems, body repaint, and install 18-19" wheels for street duty (already notched ),some suspension tweaking, and some interior TLC. Man, this will keep me busy during the winter. Ok it will be the GNX clone.
