Who wants a mopar turbo kit?!?!

[dizuster]

[h=1]Just wanted to start getting the word out that I'm in the process of engineering/testing/quoting mopar turbo kits right now.

The kit will be based on magnum manifolds (read CHEAP), 2" stainless hotside, 3" stainless downpipe, 44mm gate, 50mm BOV, and various T4 turbo options. All tubes will be production mandrel bent, and TIG welded on assembly fixtures to ensure dimensional repeatability and quality.

The mock up layout I have right now fits A-B-E bodies... I will verify on FJM bodies soon, and should fit trucks also. Ordered parts today to build the first working test prototype, so as long as all goes well, these should be ready fairly soon. My 62' Savoy will probably be the test mule, so I'll be replacing my Eddy headed 360 S475 setup with my own kit. These kits will NOT require any MAJOR modifications to your car... only slight trimming on a few select cars if anything at all.

The magnum manifolds do NOT clear a factory A-body power steering boxes, so PS will be out. I didn't want to create a kit based on old A-body manifolds that are hard to come by compared to the magnum stuff. AC does look like it will fit though. These will be offered with various T4 turbos, both with and without intercoolers (intercooled kits will require cold side clearance holes).

Initial quotes coming back show that this should be affordable compared to the alternative boost options we have out there (prochargers, paxton's, roots, etc...)

Hope this helps get the mopar community going on the turbo technology. If the Ford and Chevy guys can do this... so can we!!![/h]

Good luck with the kits. Post some pics when you can, they'll help out.

good to know, i will be eventually putting twin turbo on my car but i will build it all myself, but this will be good for guys that just want a bolt on setup

Sounds Killer, Will it fit my 63 Plymouth Sport Fury Vert. ? How much is the Kit ?

 

[soundhd]

I understand that Chrysler/Fiat will be making the Hellcat engine available as an aftermarket crate motor in the future......707 HP with a 100,000 mile and 5 year warranty that includes racing...........would be hard to beat that............

How much $? I bet for what that costs I could beat it all day long

This sounds really interesting. Maybe I'll keep my low compression 413 together for a future turbo build...

Why put more threw restrictive factory exhaust? Locate them some where other than engine compartment and would be more appealing.

Oh wait, you're doing a magnum setup. Yeah I can read. Anyway, I'm interested in seeing how it all comes out!

 

[slepr1]

That would be interesting. Can't wait to know more.

 

[Gpuller]

Maybe a guy will have to swap out the BB for a SB.

What about on a slant 6?

 

[mopar 3 B]

Plenty of room on slant 6 in b body. We did it in early 70's to a guys hemi car. Insurance company was causing him greef. Twin gm truck turbo's with 2-4's ran pretty good and all the insurance co cared about was it was slant 6 powered.

Turbo's are an entire different animal then what you guys are used to... There are many guys making 1000hp on only 2" exhaust hot side (pre-turbo feed from the engine).

My personal car has been [email protected] in a 3740lb B-body on street tires through the magnum manifolds on only 15~16psi. which is roughly 800hp... that is near breaking a stock block territory (or over if you ask some). Mine has PLENTY of turbo left to make even more. My guess is that the magnum exhaust manifolds are probably limited around the 900~1000hp range.

 

[delfinomuro]

This seems very interesting!!! Post photos and videos of the test!!

Its about increasing the velocity or speed of the exhaust. Picture yourself as a child blowing on a pinwheel. Do you blow on it with your mouth wide open, or do you pucker up as if you are going to whistle and blow on it? Closing your lips increases the velocity of the air and the pinwheel spins faster

This is a very interesting concept. I think it would look badass on a 67 Coronet. God knows there is plenty of room in there for another engine or two.

 

[HT413]

A pre-fabb'd kit would be killer. I toyed with the idea of doing a turbo setup with my 413, which would be PERFECT since it's so low compression. If I could fab it myself, the price would have been similar to my 451 build (or cheaper) it was just I'm not a welder, so all the custom fab work really was a show stopper for me.

In fact, just the way the previous owner set my car up, mini tub, 4 link, 3.23:1 sure grip, low compression motor that had recently been rebuilt, seems to me he was planning on a turbo before he sold it.

I will tell you what, if you get the turbo kit together I will put together a ecm, wiring harness, and tuning to support it. The good news about turbo setups is they don't take lots of heads and cam to work well. Edelbrock aluminum heads and their EFI manifold can be had on the cheap. I can set you up with the grind information to get a turbo cam. Plan on spending a little bit of money for the EFI setup, but with a turbo it is really the only way to go.

You need a block that will hold the power. with a single 76mm setup it would be very easy to make 800 flywheel wheel horsepower without breaking a sweat.

I am running a pump gas 408. .600 lunati roller. Pro comp aluminum heads 2.08-1.6 valves. Runs 11.0 on pump gas in a 3250 full interior duster. I'm thinking 8psi be safe. I'd be happy to run low 10.0's
It's a 71 block which I hear people say are a thicker block than the 74 and later? What would a kit run me?
Id like to chat with u dizuster if you could pm me your email or phone #. Thank you.
