i'm building my first car. i need some information on building a turboed small block. please list your combo if you do. also, some dyno numbers or times would help.

thanks,
george
 
sorry for being so frank about it but if you have to ask a question like that its not possable for you to do it. to pull something like that off would take YEARS of knowlage OR a assload of cash and im sure if you had that much cash you would just have some one build and tune it for you no questions asked.
 
the small block isn't for my regal. i'm building a full tube chassis car myself and i want to go tens, minimum. i have read in other posts that the 3.8 isnt the most economical way to go fast. maybe i shouldn't have posted in the turbo lounge. i figured since it wasn't buick related, i shouldn't post in general turbo buick tech.
again, any combo suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,
george

Go to thirdgen.org to the power adder section and check out Guido's set up, he has a pretty good single turbo setup. Mine was built by my buddy before I bought it. I will tell you you what I know about it

1987 Trans Am

1)0101 sbc block out of a truck .030 over
2) 4 bolt main conversion with splade caps?
3) AFR heads out of the box
4)mild hydrolic cam
5)Crower rods and all ARP bolts
6)J&E's
7)Factory steel crank (I think this is the weakest link)
8) 4 Barrel carb intake converted to fuel injection with some big TB
9)FM IC
10) DFI
11)#55 injecters
12)two 60-1 turbo's w/ .59a/r 4 bolt exhaust housing and 3" DP
13)Two Delta gates
14)TH 400 w/ trans brake and 3000 stall converter
15)Built Ford 9" rear with all good stuff, Detroit Locker and 3.23 gear
16) Two external Bosch 216 fuel pump
17) MSD ignition
I know there is plenty more but this is all I can think of

(no track times or Dyno results yet)

Good luck with your project.

i have to agree equalizer, although i hate to be the person that is on the negitive side of lifes fence, but here how i see it with the engines i have built with a current tt sbc in progress. first off there is little out there in the form or sbc turbo parts, so all of the exhaust, intake, and such plumbing has to be hand made, and if your not a fabricator/welder or plan on being one, thats going to cost big money, headers alone will run ya a grand or so, another grand for the intake plumbing and so on. there are huge costs associated with hight output turbo car, its an easy 10,000 engine/trans combo, and i thought that i could get away with it cheaper, and i am a fabricator, and i got some smoking deals on rotating assy parts, but in the end they suck it out of you 300 dollars at a time. waste gates, conrollers, fuel injection, igniton, injetors, throttle body, modded intake, the turbo itself, fuel system, cooling, intercooler and that on top of a new tube car, its a project that is dauting to say the least. and like i have told many a freind before, if its your first, get ready to buy another, becasue all it takes is one milisecond of poor judgement, and you just bought the farm, but thats how i see it, i see alot of guys try, and then end up selling there stuff off, because of the walls they kept hitting, but if for some reason you hit a wall, shoot me an e-mail and i will do everything i can to help you.
