hmm i was looking for a bit more power for the old ute and came across this lot in america, how cheap is this it looks a lot for the money lol i'v just emailed them to see how much to post to oz as i can't belive the price. i reckon this will do the trick lol i'v found managment for the old beast for $900 so i think i will be uprating the old ute very soon

fook me thats cheap.

you could not make it for that, but i must admit turbo chargers are far to expensive in this country

badnews

no shit the managment will end up costing more lol, there is a lot of cheap stuff for cars in america even with the postage at $400 it's still cheap as fook

You dont need managment on a 302, 351, fuck all, managment is for fannys.

Plenty of Windsors push 1500bhp+ on a single carb and turbo.

You dont even need that kit, you can make enough power on a 302 to split the block clean in half with stock manifolds with a pair of t3s from the scrappy welded to them.

Get it bought it'll give you something to do to keep you busy for a day!!..lol

stavros it's cheap as chips why fook about for that money and as for management mine's efi and coil packs so it needs sorting so it's right and i can still use the fooker without it blowing up lol. i will be happy with 750hp

badnews

C10SSE i'v plenty to do lol a house and 3 acres of lawn to cut, but for that money it will go in the garage till i have time to sort it along with a few other bit's i'v been gathering

big_wig_074

what engine have you got?as the block splits WAAAAY before 750 bhp!

Stavros

indeed, wat car/engine you got to have a windsor v8 in it then?

stock 302 block will shit itself somewhere between 500-600bhp at some point even on stock internals, and even a 351 block wont last that long at 750 unless its an early one.
aftermrket ones are different story tho.

thats not a complete bolt on kit anyhow, as i know them manifolds, and they are meant for internal gate turbos, so will need to do some welding.

i have an early 351 block a pair of nice heads and a few other trick bits lol, as for the 750hp i was joking it's only going on my ute when time permits. at the mo it's not long been rebuilt due to droping a valve , the clip on the roller rocker broke and it knocked the collets out of the valve causing a major dissaster . i got it just after it had a new motor in and has done 10k and is running sweet and made 220hp at the wheels a few weeks back. i'm only looking for 350hp tops lol so i don't fook the new motor. i got the 351 off a mate who's races speedway and he runs methonal lots of fancey shit and has 750hp in his car i shit you not it fooking flys and sounds awesome at full chat. as for a bit of welding i have a tig so it's not an issue. i was told the set up i have in the ute would be ok up to 450/500 but go's pear shaped quick above that so no point in fooking it for the sake of it i just fancey a turbo on it to give it a bit more go lol

i would never buy a kit like that,its got to be shite at that price

£550???????????????????

big_wig_074

does that have a pre 93 v8?
and why does it have to be shit just because its cheap?you DONT get what you pay for!!expense does not mean good quality,american cars are cheap as chips to tune!

Stavros

badnews- an early 351 windsor block with as half fill done to it, with decent heads, will EASY do 750bhp with a half decent turbo kit, even on stock early spec crank and rods to be honest.

they did 351 cleavland etc blocks too tho, im talking windsor, i know 351C's etc are much more common in oz, and i dunno about them, but know they very different.

well your an idiot then.

as like a lot of stuff, "you get what you pay for" only counts if your a mug that dont actually know what your buying and just buy any stuff the seller says is good.
the car scene more than anywhere has massively overpriced stuff and massivley underpriced stuff.

that stuff is cheap, and not the best quality on the planet, but it IS cheap as fuck, and is WELL proven to push out the power no bother at all, i know them manifolds etc, and they been used on hundreds of engines.

i know we pay over the odds for things but fukn come on one of they turbos should cost £500 look what your getting with them

a mate of mine bought one of these kits for his lexus vertex twin turbo to convert to one single big turbo,whole kit was around £400,that included the manifolds,external wastegate this massive turbo,all hoses etc etc just like that kit,and the quality of the welding etc on manifolds looks like stevie wonder done it

but of course your the expert stavros so il just shut up

this is the turbo my mate bought

£150??

you trying to tell me this will last aslong as a garrett turbo or that its made from the same steel and alloy as a proper turbo?

Stavros

im pretty sure it wont last as long, but at the same time i bet it isnt gonna be too bad, not as bad as you might think for that money, ive seen it hundreds of times.
its a mass produced identical copy of a garrett turbo, pretty much identical build process, just cheap labour and no ripoff markup due to the badge.
i know for a fact away from the internet shit stirring, some of the big companies got the cheapo chinese copy turbos in for inspection and testing, and found they performed identically to their real items, just didnt last as long on the whole.

hope its not for a cossie at that will be laggy for the power it can do i reckon.
not a "T70" either, not by a long long shot, if them specs are to be believed its compressor will be good for under 600bhp i reckon, but turbine wheel, and therefore housing, sounds a bit big really.

An Aristo, cool.
TBH should be ok for that, spool up out of pretty much nothing, the large exhaust side wont be a prob at all.

dunno what the block is other than it was my mates spare, he has 40k in the engine he runs at the moment and the block i have is the same as he is useing. i know fook all about these engines at all other than what i'm told lol. i'v been told to leave mine std comp and run 8 psi boost and it will go all day no bother??. i would sooner pull it apart and lower the comp and run a bit more boost. i got a load of stuff ported heads manifold to go with them some fancey cam and a suposed flash crank. my mate is at the top of his game on these engines and raced them for years with good sucsess his own runs 750 bhp and gets treated like gold mate. an oil change every meeting and checked every race, i supose thats the key to sucsess in his game being reliablel. i will find out what it is and let you know cheers for the info stavros

Looks like fun m8
