73 TURBO on the bay Options

[Mueller]

So Joe, how does it compare to your 3.0 /6???

I would think that Ed's car would be pretty comparible to your's powerwise.....

Ed, mind sharing the diameter of the pipe from your H/E's to the turbo???? How did you decide the size of the pipe?? Of the few 180° mandrel bends i can find, they range from 1 1/2" to 3" diameter (and the radius gets bigger per dia. of course)

The sixes, especially the 3.0L, have way more grunt down low than mine. When boost hits though, my pulls hard and strong. My 1st turbo surpised Dunkle when he looked in the rear view mirror of his 3.0L at 100+ mph and saw me a few car lengths behind him.

I used 1.75-in ID tubing up to the turbo. The ID of the turbo housing is 1.75 as well.

I think Ed sums it up pretty good... the 3.0 pulls hard right from the get go.
Lots of low end tork. When the turbo takes affect it's pretty even.
The 3.0 will break the tires loose with very little effort not sure about the Turbo I did not want the beat up a car that was not mine. The turbo goes good... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Aw come on, somebody has to say it, you can't turbo a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

That is a deal if it goes for anywhere near that price.

My turbo was a blast and it wasn't anywhere near as refined or finished as Ed's car.

BTW my 911SC is running flawlessly now adays with 5 psi boost, not that I'm trying to steal the thread or anything. Turbos are just cool. that's all I have to say about that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

You turbo'd the SC? I need a ride in that car.

I'm going to shoot you an email Sammy.

So Sammy -

"That's all you have to say"... come on...give a few more details

Did you relocate the turbo or install a resevoir and pump to solve the problem of the oil backing up and getting past the seals?...and what RPM does you Turbo start coming in at what kind of seat of pants HP improvement do you think you got... tell some more of the story.
