tommy isn't the only one with a new turbo build in the works....
in the shop right now...
a stock bore D8 block with a fresh hone
crank turned 10/10
comp 252H cam
E0 head modded for port injection (needs a little work still)
.57 trim T4/t3 with a .63 hot side (true turbonetics turbo)
38mm tial wastegate.
one of miks rocker covers
1.6R roller rockers from mike
2.3L dizzy modded for a 200
88turbocoupe powersteering pump (uses a remote res. and will bolt on a stock bracket)
still to do....
-get bearings/rings for motor
-finish head and have it rebuilt (getting oversize valves from mike)
-build a new tubular header (going split inlet to try and help low end and maybe if I step to a different turbo/turbine down the road)
-get some fuel injection computer of some sort hooked up to it.
-get a 200 balancer rebuilt with a 4.0L OHC v6 pulley sleeve
-build accessory brackets (modern AC comressor, PS pump, GM alternator) and convert to serp belts.
-figure out a new flywheel/flexplate. (looking at having a fidanza billet one made)
I might post up some pics tomorrow of the progress (motor is kinda mocked up right now)
this is going to be th emotor I shoot for 300hp with and I think I will have a chance with a better flowing head than my C5 head and a bigger cam than a stock one. oh and a bigger turbo will help.
