I am at this time considering a turbo install on my 3.0 engine, I would be using the guts of a used bae turbo kit for the 911sc. I know that I will have to do a lot of fabricating and loose some useable storage space in the trunk. I have enough support from those who have had the turbo kit installed on there cars for 20 years, and have sorted all the little problems out.
I now have to justify the need for 300hp, when my car runs great as is, but lacks a little heart pounding thrill. I like the idea of turbocharging as it is all external, biggest hp gains without internal modifications, and I have the capabilites of fabricating the plumbling. Plus it can be done for less than a pair of carbs. Someone twist my arm, it's a turbo or it's a new paint job for the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Chappy |

I'm back to show you some progress being made on the install. Everything but the cross over pipe and muffler is done. MSD BTM boost retard ignition, fuel enrichment injector, Tilton oil pump to drain the turbo, Hobbs n.o. pressure switch set at 4lbs. to fire the enrichment injector, a Tial bov, A Turbo X boost controller, and a 38mm Tial wastegate. I am using a Flowmaster 3" in 3" out series 50 delta flow muffler as I wished to keep the noise down abit, and a freshly rebuilt Rayjay TO4B turbocharger from the Bae kit. All thats left of the Bae kit that I started out with are, the silicone intake bonnets, the piping and turbocharger.
The crossover pipe fabricator was out sick this last week so I will have to wait till next week to tell you about the test drive. Here come the pictures. Attached image(s) |
