Here is the new turbo system with out the pretty ceramic coatings.
I had to make a distributor for the oil feed to the turbo's.
I did a "Drag strip" removal plate, so I can have no back pressure when I shoot fo single digits in the 1/4 mile.
I used a pair of these K&N filters, 1 on each side. The intake pipes go through some stainless panels I made for each side.
I finally started my power upgrades. I pulled the motor and trans to get started on their share of the upgrades. The motor is getting new Scat h-beam rods and Ross forged pistons with total seal gapless rings and tapered wall wrist pins. The main caps have been machined down .300 of an inch to make room for a Morana Main girdle. Arp studs keep it tight and in place. The oil pump is a new Melling high volume piece. I had the Forged crankshaft balanced, after balancing the pistons and pins myself. I had to have the rods balanced since I didn't have a jig to do the task right. I gave the crank balancer all the specs for his part of the task. The motor uses clevite main bearings and clevite H series rod bearings.
The new turbo system is a pair of T3/To4e 57 trim turbos with stage3 turbine and a .63 a/r. A pair of Tial wastegates handle the boost regulation. Since the air flow has doubled, the fuel needed the same attention, so a set of delphi low Z injectors, rated at 95#s are being installed. Tuning will be done with a Tec IIIr unit.
The tranny is getting beefed up with a kevlar band, a 6 pinion planet, a hardened input shaft, a complete roller kit, a billet servo, and a reverse pattern trans brake.
The 8.8 also gets some attention with a new Detroit Trutrac 31 spline carrier and a set of Mosier axles and Wheel studs.
Update, I ordered my new camshaft tonight, now if my main girdle would just hurry up and get here.
I finally got the main girdle and my new camshft. It's a comp cam billet 218/218 115 lca .545 lift. I started the process by trial fitting the main girdle so I can check the linebore. I wasn't happy with the linebore, so the block was dropped off at the machine shop this morning. While I'm waiting for the block, I went ahead and balanced the pistons and pins. I did them seperately, instead of together. My total piston/pin weight is 606.7 grams (without the rings).
