Scottie-GNZ Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Been lots of discussion about this and if you folks are serious, here is a guy who can help leap the big hurdle, turbo headers. This guy is in So FL and apparently seems willing to duplicate his turbo headers. If there is enough interest to do a group purchase, maybe making 5+ sets could get everyone a good price.

Tim240z Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Is this what you're talking about Scottie? Link to pic. If those will fit the Z engine bay....I'm in....How much $$$$$? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Looks like they would hit the shock towers but we could always ask for the dimensions. If the price is right, I'm in too! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie-GNZ Posted March 26, 2002 Author Share Posted March 26, 2002 In the post there was mention about selling them for $600 but he also said he was willing to make another set. My thinking was that he could make several sets for you guys based on the proper design for a SBC hybridz. Keep in mind that the set you are looking at is for a TT setup in a Buick GN. You guys would need to come to concensus on what design you want, single or TT, then it would work best if he had access to a car to mock it up. Grumpy, you listening . The simpler the better, of course. That means you would want to make all sets identical to reduce the cost since he would probably make a jig. Hmm, JTR, TT...... Single or TT both have their complexities. Double requires no x-over pipe but more complex plumbing and 2 turbos, although I imagine 2 T3s are enough to detonate a "normal" SBC . Single has less complex plumbing and 1 big turbo but needs the x-over. Ah, decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Gotta Be TT . $600 would be a bit pricey for me !, but maybe if there's enough interest the price can come down quite a bit? I'm definitely game....the smaller turbos are more available in the JYs too.....even if it's just for good cores. Tim BTW, I deleted the image cause it created a horizontal scroll which bugs the crap outta me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
