FlatBlack Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Check out this super cool sticky in the TURBOCHARGER section. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=153195 And no, it's not worth it. Go LSX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 flatblack, Have you dynoed this setup? I'm curious as to what a flattop turbo motor can make, while still being safe and not detonating. Like how much PSI and if you've changed anything since the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatBlack Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 flatblack, Have you dynoed this setup? I'm curious as to what a flattop turbo motor can make, while still being safe and not detonating. Like how much PSI and if you've changed anything since the build No dyno. This is my last semester of Uni, I'm trying to stay focused on finishing up school I got the car running during the fall semester, then I had some reset issues, and then my LC-1 Controller went bad. I'm getting my LC-1 back tomorrow from Innovate, and then I'm buying the KnockSenseMS module. I am hoping to have the car tuned in a few months. I am at 8 psi currently, I have a FMIC so I'm going to try to get 12 psi out of my stock S130 T3. I am running crap-tastic 91 octane, I finally have a clutch that doesn't slip, and now I'm hearing audible pinging. I am hoping to take it to a dyno in May, and I will be running the quarter again at Branson Z Fest in June. I'll update my build thread with progress. If you want some motor against motor reference, I beat my roommate's SN95 5.0 Mustang by many lengths from a dig, or roll, and I am keeping up with my buddy's cammed LT1 3rd Gen Camaro. The flat top motor has been doing fine, I am not quite sure how I haven't blown a HG yet, I drive pretty aggressively. I get off it when I hear pinging though. Yes it is worth it, I just have LSX envy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Don't know if you guys seen this but check it out. Is that intake mani of your own design? Looks like it's coming along nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 This ain't my engine just had it on my phone, but I would like to try doing this I have 2 l28et's one of em is complete with 70k & the other is a rebuild & rebuild turbo. Wondering if I could do this myself with the stock manifold or the l28et manifold right onto the flat top l28e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 That looks like a Blowthrough carb set up, or Turbo ITB's. It looks completely fabricated. I don't think you could modify the original intake to look like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 How about putting the intake manifold from the l28et to the l28e then Putting the rest on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
