i kinda got bored with my nitrous setup in my daily driver.. managed to peice together a turbo kit on a pretty low budget..

old setup before was a b20 block
stock rods/with arp rod bolts
je 12 to 1 pistons
ported gsr head
skunk pro2's
780cc injectors
e85
etc
120 shot direct port
made 365hp
went 11.3@124 mph

new set up is pretty much the same motor with a thicker head gasket and stock gsr cams
turbobetics bbT72 turbo
inline pro manifold
vibrant 3.5" thick intercooler
1680cc injectors
hondatas300
e85
made a few baseline pulls..
its at 352hp 260trq on 10 psi

here is a pic from before

Can't leave any car alone can you, lol? Looks nice. How much power are you expecting?

 

looks good, are you going to paint the rest of the car too?

 

the rest of the car is getting painted within the week.. with the motor thats in it now im prob going to stretch it to 400-450 see how it holds... i have a sleeved block on the side im putting together for it

 

why didn't you run the Pro2s on boost?

 

1680cc injectors for 450hp? overkill maybe? 12:1 pistons for boost?

 

Its his old nitrous motor, Thats why the compression and why hes not pushing it past 450+. And He will need those injectors once the new block is in the car..

 

im not running the pro2's cause i traded them to Syd for some of the turbo parts... im running 1600's cause the car is on e85 and i plan on switching the block out. and in my original post i stated i put a thicker gasket on there thus its not 12 to 1 anymore....

 

Looks real good, I was going to ask if you planned on just elbowing that wastegate but I see you went from Turbonetics to Tial w/ the elbow looks good.
