Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance what do you guys think of my idea?

i plan on buying 2 aerocharger 53000 series turbos...attaching them at the end of the headers, and routing a pipe to the TB...what do you think of this?
i plan on using the biggest compressor/turbo vane combo...

or should i just use 1 66000 series turbo?

LOL.

:rolleyes:

Aaaah, life sure would be nice if it was that simple.

Sorry chief, judging from your post, you've got a long way to go before you can even THINK about making a turbo kit, not to mention a TWIN turbo kit.

Buy Chris's turbo kit instead of wasting thousands of dollars.

I'm not mean, I'm brutally honest.

too bad it really is that simple...these arent normal turbos, they dont require oil/coolant lines, they work in any possition...only thing i need to worry about is fuel(got it covered), spark(got it covered), and internals(got it covered)...

and there no way im spending $4000+ or - $500 for a T28

i hope you arent serious....

I don't see an intercooler in your set up. All that effort and no cool air is not good. A t-28 at 10:1 compression should be fine. You aren't going to use more than 8psi intercooled and it puts out 12.

i never listed my complete setup... ill have a spearco front mount in there...and a XS BOV...

yes i am serious...as soon as i get my CSVT, im going through with it

Where ya gonna put it? How do you plan on running the piping?

Water air or air/air cooler?



How? Using what?



How? Using what?

Who are you getting your headers from? Where will you mount the 2 turbos? I highly doubt you'll have enough room for two big powerful (which you don't need in the first place) turbos and a water/air cooler.

Prepare to spend $8-10k on this project if you go with twins.

I don't wanna shoot down your ideas, but going w/ a single turbo would be about 10x easier.

I truly recommend that you do a lot more stydying about turbos before you start this project. Here are a few of the variables that you will need to better understand.

The larger the turbo, the more the boost, but only if you generate enough exhaust pressure to spin the turbine.

The larger the turbo, the greater the turbo lag, or the time it takes for the turbine to spool up to produce the boost.

Compressing air generates higher temperatures to the air creating the need to cool the air before it enters the cylinders. This is usually done with an intercooler.

Higher cylinder pressure generated by the turbo will require less timing advance.

More air will require more fuel so that the correct air/fuel ratio is maintained.

Higher cylinder temperatures from the additional boost will usually require a colder spark plug.

Higher cylinder pressure usually requires either less spark plug gap or higher spark plug voltage or both.

Upgraded cooling system is often needed.

The entire issue of engine controls must be addressed. CPU may not be able to operate with boost instead of vacuum in the intake. Sensors must be able to read boost and not just vacuum.

A quick example of the Volvo aproach to turbo applications. The T5 uses a large turbo which gives a lot of boost and a lot of horsepower. It also has a very noticable turbo lag. The low pressure turbo engine on the other hand, uses a smaller turbo, it makes less horsepower with less boost but has nearly imperceptable turbo lag.

I recommend some time in the library or on the internet to gain more insight about these and other pitfalls if you intend to try this yourself, or just let someone else do the digineering a buy a ket when it becomes available. I think Hightower may have one already or will have one very soon.

ok..i was taking a look at svts, and no..there isnt space for twins...im just gonna go for 1 turbo...



these turbos dont have lag... www.aerocharger.com

im aware of all that stuff....

Fuel: upgraded fuel pump, injectors, rising rate fuel preasure regulator...being controlled by a Acell DFI, AEM Engine management, or Apexi S-AFC

Spark: MSD, Crane, or Programmable ECU's mentioned above...

headers: will probablly be MSDS headers, but i dont need the y-pipe...so probablly Yo-Dude headers

all that engine management isnt really needed with one big aerocharger, but i have other plans too...
