woldson Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 This is my long time friend and brother in laws newest project. We are pretty sure this will fit my ZX and wants me to put it in....... Any how the headers are rather fasinating and high quility. So on to the show: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It'd be great to have more info like what, if any, other mods were made between pulls, which carb they used and how many p.s.i. they are running. Apparently this project isn't listed on their website. Good video though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Just was introduced to the market a week ago. Same everything, minus the turbos. The pulls were in 2nd gear at 24psi. The road was 16psi due to spanking the rev limiter! The point was to show what the kit will do to that engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I will get some pics of the headers this weekend. Second gear cuse that car has 273 rearend. Too scary to pull in 3rd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 That is alot of power, to bad it all can't be transmitted to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yea that is just a donor. So someday I will have to take my ZX over there and pull the engine to see how things will line up. I just love the straight 6, but if I can save a load....... Plus the kit is should fit all kinds of old muscle cars and it is geared to older fellows that want to mod, but also want to stick with what they know (carbs). I would prefer stand alone ecu and fi. Just cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmjay Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Pretty nice. I'd like to know more about the internals though. Especially on the "mild" 383...because you don't just hook turbos up and take off....well at least if you're not worried about keeping the engine for any length of time.

blue72 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 That was something I was wondering as well, hypereutectic or forged pistons? They also probably had to make at least some changes to the carb for the blowthrough setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 That was something I was wondering as well, hypereutectic or forged pistons? They also probably had to make at least some changes to the carb for the blowthrough setup. in ANY supercharged or high rpm combo youll be much better off with FORGED 2618 alloy pistons, hypereutectic pistons work great in low stress conditions but detonation ,heat, and high stress tend to damage them far faster than forged designs,detonation ,heat, and high stress and lack of cooling lube will kill any piston but forged designs tend to run for longer under the abuse before problems arise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrenchrat Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hey Mark, thanks for turning me onto this site. The website will be updated here in roughly 2 weeks with more information and pictures on the Twin Turbo system. The motor in this video was the 2nd one we built which had more money than the first... Here is a rundown of the components in both engines... ***Carb was a blow-through 750cfm Holley built by CSU Carbs*** **1st engine (383 sbc): STOCK 4-bolt main block Scatt 9000 CAST Crank Powdered rods (stock) CHEAP probe forged pistons 8.4:1 compression STOCK cast-iron heads 993-cast# small cam *224/218 dur., .541 lift 114ls* ---solid roller--- Victor Jr. Intake CSU 750cfm blow-through carb 21-22lbs boost, 110 octane, water/meth system.... 780rwhp & 807rwtq 14lbs and pump gas... 661rwhp & 700+rwtq (max rpm: 5,500) As long as you can keep the rpm down and the tune safe you can make stock parts live for quite a while. The first motor we actually overboosted to probably 40psi on accident and it bent the 4-rods in the middle, STILL drove it home!! Pulled it apart and the crank was PERFECT so we threw in another set of stock rods and beat the crap out of it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **2nd engine (383 sbc) *In the video*: STOCK 2-bolt main block with splayed 4-bolt caps Forged Crank Forged H-beam rods CHEAP Probe forged pistons 8.4:1 compression Pro-Comp 190cc aluminum heads Larger N/A based cam *541lift...238/234 duration @50, 115ls* ---hydraulic roller--- Victor Jr. Intake CSU 750cfm blow-through carb 24lbs boost, 110 octane, water/meth system.... 820rwhp &751rwtq (max rpm: 6,500) You don't need a high dollar, high rpm engine to make a bunch of power. The cam in the 2nd engine was more of a N/A cam which we threw in to show what your typical hot-rodder might already have in the car. With a more turbo oriented cam it would have produced more power. This motor had roughly 48 dyno pulls and many street miles and is still running strong!! It's not too difficult to hit 1,000hp at the crank.....

S130Z Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Envy! Hey Woldson, If your worried about cursing your ZX by taking out the straight 6, I will take one for the team and throw that demon in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin280zx Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Blowthroughs don't work Is your water/meth kit from AIS (Alcohol Injection Systems)? What turbos are you running? I'm shooting for about 1100 FWHP for my next sbc that I'm building now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustorbust Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thats what im talking about, that first motor is awesome. I dont think people give enough credit to stock sbc parts. Im really looking forward to finishing my turbo setup and driving it around some now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Right now, I would like some critical comments. Reson being it is a great oppertunity for me to understand better. Drivetrain stuff, yea I know. If I only knew the questions, I would know the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Okay, now it makes sense. Those are some very impressive numbers utilizing the stock powdered-metal rods. This'll be stored away in my high power 383 memory bank for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrenchrat Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Blowthroughs don't work Is your water/meth kit from AIS (Alcohol Injection Systems)? What turbos are you running? I'm shooting for about 1100 FWHP for my next sbc that I'm building now. The water/meth system is Snow's, I do like the look and ease of AIS' system though. The 1st motor we were running 61mm ball-bearing water cooled turbos (.81A/R exhaust), rated at roughly 680hp each. The turbo's on the 2nd motor (vid) are 68mm ball-bearing water cooled turbo's (.81A/R exhaust), rated at roughly 800hp each. You would probably be looking for a pair of turbo's in the 61-63mm range. They would be good for more than the 1,100hp your looking for so if you wanted more it would be there. They would really be in there efficiency range at the 1,100hp mark.
