Default Where can I find Info On Homemade turbos

I have read a few post here and on few sites. But I am curious as if anyone can give me more info about this subject besides what is on homemadeturbos.com. I would really like to build the custom setup 3. But there is not enough info on how to do it there. Any links or info on how to make a homemade turbo would be greatly apprciated.


Nothing feels better then wasting a mustang boy who just said if a 4 banger beats my 5.0 I'll give him my keys!

Hehe, how would you know about beating Mustangs if you don't have a turbo yet?

Try searching here and on Google. You should get good results both places.

Default Thanxs for info provided so far everyone

The links that everyone has provided has been very helpful. I believe I am able to complete this turbo now, but any other info would be appreciated greatly. Or sites which would carry most of parts needed for reasonable prices. Also what should I use as serch on google. Just home made turbo?

Yah I used to be big on Mustangs, and I still dig the old ones. I beat a 2002 GT the other day, and a late model Firebird today. Not a GM guy so I don't know the exact year, but it had the WS6 badge or whatever it is...hate GM cars. He tried to sneak up on me today when I was rolling, probably 20-30 MPH and I pulled on him hard. Very cool!!

Here's my next project, wanna do a late model 302 twin turbo in this baby....

I am currently writing a "Junk Yard Turbo setup" page up on the ZCresource.com site.

It will be VERY INFORMATIVE....I just have to wait until next weekend when I do my clutch so I can get ton's of pics for the page.

Look for my post when I'm done, OR If you want , you could just email me your info, and I'll send you the link(when it's done).

This write up will be better then anything I have seen on the web so far.....

just need some good quality pics

Default Re: Where can I find Info On Homemade turbos (Bryson)

not quite sure which issue it is, but i do know that the sport compact car that has the blue WRX on the cover has an article that matches todays common cars & engine sizes with stock turbos and turbo components from older cars that come turbo stock.

for example, i beleive for my 96 240sx (2.4L 4 cylinder) it matched me up with an old saab turbo and two more turbos i cant remember
