Guest traub83 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Does anyone have pics or links to anyone who makes/has a single turbo setup on there sbc v8? Id like to find a set of headers that would allow me to run like a single t70 turbo with a single huge exhaust. tuning would be way easier for me and as well as plumbing and would make somecrazy numbers so if anyone has info on a single turbo setup let me know..

Guest HBZ81 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 i dont know the answer to your question, but i do have some advice. be sure your headers are thick enough because when the hot exhaust gases move through there, they will be more hot because of the turbo, they expand and could crack because of the high heat and weight that they have to hold up. the headers will be holding up the turbo and some exhaust piping, so add high heat and downward force of weight and your headers could possibly bend/flex and crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbk240z Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Yo, check out this site, http://www.toohighpsi.com I know it is Ford biased, but the same ideas could applicable to Chevy or any other brand. I like the site because it shows some low budget ideas that obviously work pretty well. Anyway, Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest traub83 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 lazy, when you mounted the turbo it looks as tho ya used stock manifolds. did you then make a crossover pipe to connect to the turbo with the other manifold or what? thats my problem right now is what to do for the headers. I know I can very easy make twin turbo headers but on a V8 how would I make my headers so I have equal power going to the single turbo from both sides?? then I can run a single 4" dp for my exhaust then do something nice based on what my muffler shop says...
