Boredom, Prochargers, & GT47's

[Dave]

These are cheap. What is the hp rating?
What size wastegate would be recommended? 38mm for each side?

t70s are making north of 700hp, you would have to imagine that the GT45 would be a fair bit more

[blackbart]

Mmmmmm, twin GT45......

Blackbart. There are pics coming very soon of Procharger installs DNA Motorsport have done on small block and big block chev's and Holden 308's.

CNC machined timing cases, brackets, gilmer drives you name it. Your jaw would drop if you saw the effort put into the jobs, particularly the designs. 2 of the cars will hit the strip soon and are definitely not show ponies. I'll ask them tonight if I can give out details on which workshops they are doing the work for as some of the shops/owners are not keen on giving out too much info.

My mate is tuning one of these setups this week or next week for the DNA guys so I'll be able to let you know how it goes. Its an LS1 so will be able to compare it directly against a Harrop Eaton blower kit that he has done a few of on the same type of engine.

to tell the real story, would need comparison at 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000rpm etc up to max rpm, not just peak hp number

Should be able to overlay the graphs and see the results across the entire rev range. Obviously its not a fool proof comparison due to gearing, tyre size etc but it should give a general trend and indicate if what has been mentioned is in fact true or not.

what you are actually looking for is the maximum area under the curve for a given rev limit, that will tell you what the most 'useful' engine is, given the max RPM specified.

Got a couple more Procharger related emails back:
************************************************** *****
For a complete Intercooled Kit with a F-2 ProCharger to suit your Big
Block including a Race Cog Pulley Kit, all brackets and plumbing etc,
(1600 Supercharged HP potential) will be:
$10700

And for complete F-2 kit as above without the intercooler and plumbing etc
will be:
$8570
************************************************** *******
Other email:
************************************************** ******
For the F1 kit w/intercooler:
$8670

And for the F1 kit without intercooler:
$7295

The potential of the F1 is 1050 maximum supercharged hp @ 38psi.

Even 8g would put together a tough turbo setup.

[Dave]

I think for less than 8k, you could have yourself a shit hot blow through turbo setup including fuel system, like

MP GT45
Air to Air cooler - ebay cheapie in keeping with the theme
EV Hat
PSU Carb (this might blow the budget, you could save some $$$ and buy a demon)
Aeromotive fuel system (A1000 and appropriate efi to carb reg)
Ebay some manifolds from the states
DIY Cooler piping
Ebay 50mm Tial knock off wastegate
Ebay Tial knock off BOV

That should total out somewhere around 5000 depending on the bits you choose and how much you can do yourself, spend the rest on getting a tough turbo 400 and converter

That should give you plenty of fasts for the tonner.

The 850dp I have on it can be modded for not much (intructions on turbostang site).

The box in it (once fixed) should do the job anyway. Its full man, trans brake, kevlar this and that. Thats if they can make it work the second time.

then its time to start ordering some parts :D

[JZK25]

Mmmm. Do it.

[blackbart]

Gimme the 8g and I'll do it.

[Dave]

you will be suprised by my answer, but no.

I thought you were actually in the market to buy, given you were emailing people about setups.

[blackbart]

I was emailing about setups to find out which would be cheaper. Now I know that turbo will be I can start accumulating parts. Priority at the moment is getting the ute done and registered NA. I'll order the turbos as a Xmas present to myself.

[JZK25]

Do eeet!



Twin MPT70's ftw. You have to do it partly for the spectacle afterall.
