I don't know how some people can afford all the stuff they buy.

Yeah it amazes me to, but then look at all the foreclosures and bankruptcies in our country. Lots of it was borrowed money that was eventually defaulted on. Look at all the new homes that people bought in the last 5 to 10 years that are now foreclosed and vacant. Everytime I go to a carshow or the track it makes me wonder how some of these guys afford it legitimately. Thats why I got a kick out of the link to that thread. I know you get what you pay for alot of the time especially in auto parts but its cool to hear of guys going fast with stock or 2nd hand parts. I know my 882 heads aren't the best by a long shot but they will make due until I can swing some better ones.

Just about to start a similar project. BW S475, I'm getting a set of headers made, but building everything else.


You can run as much boost as your tune allows. Too many variables to answer the question.

i got to resize the pics when i get a chance , i am runing about 5 to 7 lbs of boost right now, my motor was pumpin out 420hp with no boost, about every 1 lbs of boost is 10% power increase, it takes alot of time to build a kit , i have about 40hrs just in the headers and another 10hr in the cross over and exhuast , then about 8 hrs on the coldside plumbing.

also do alot of research on what carb would work for you unless your efi , i am running a quick fuel blowthru 750 angular boost

I did a quick search on E-Bay and found several twin turbo kits for SBC's that seemed like a good start. Some where kinda generic so you would have to do some custom fitting still, but all the parts are there...

[Wild83C10]

The ebay turbo kits are typically hit or miss. Not worth it in my opinion. You could get a turbo that breaks up after a few spools and the shrapnel could be running through you motor tearing it up. If you want to do a budget turbo build look at Borg Warner or Master power turbos and put a kit together on your own.

what about a turbo off a mack truck
its a 68mmith a T6 flange and a .65 a/r

[joeys66pickup]

if its a ****ty turbo run a pre filter...

and that t6 is HUGE awesome if you can find something to fit it!

That is an odd size. If you want a ton of low end power in a small ci motor it would be ok I guess.

The Master Power Turbos and BW turbos are less the $600 brand new.

A pre filter isn't going to help if the turbo breaks up and spits parts into your motor.

it might be a .70 ar didnt get a perfect measurement
would it work good on a 360 sbc

I think it's too small for a 360. You should look for a 70mm min. with probably a 1.10 or larger AR for a single turbo build (it all depends on how much power you want to make though). A turbo from a big HD pickup might be better then from a Mac. The newer dodges use holset which is a good turbo.

[jgh64pkup]

really it looks pretty big ill try to get some better measurements
it has a 4 in intake inlet 3 in intake outlet of course the t6 flange and a 3 1/2 in exhaust outlet

Check out VSracing.... Great prices on masterpower turbos

[Alex1]

You can pick up a BW s400 for $4-$500 on the turbo forum new. That would probably be your best bet.

They've had really good luck with the knock off turbos from what I read on the turbo forums. Couple guys running junkyard motors making big power with them. There was one with a junkyard 454, making 600+ rwhp I believe

For every person that has had good LUCK with them there is at least one other person that is probably cursing himself for buying it. You can certainly take the risk. I personally wouldn't. Junkyard turbos are different then ebay turbos. JY turbos are well built proven turbos. The junk on ebay isn't.

I can't speak from experience so this is just my opinion. The phrase "you get what you pay for" comes to mind.

There is a difference between buy a cheap turbo kit and building a turbo kit on the cheap.

['72customdeluxe]

I don't mean the ones in the $900-1100 or so kits. I mean individual ones you can get for $150-200 or so.

[jgh64pkup]

where can i get a turbo for 200 bucks
i want one
