I am putting together some hairdriers for my first gen.

S300G 57mm compressor/.070 turbine housing over a billet 71mm (K31-T4)

both turbines are wastegated. Planning on v-banding the cold side to save headaces with boots.

fuel is a pinned/springed VE fueled by a Hungry diesel lift pump to a set of hybrid injectors- 2nd gen marine nozzles honed 40% installed in first gen bodies.Will kick the pump over 1/8th at time of install also.

Debating a tank sump and running larger supply hose to the lift pump- but I am in a cold northern state and I have heard of fuel gelling issues up here with the sumps?



Any issues with my plans? please shoot your opinions and suggestions. :pop:


As it is now I need to get a 070 turbine for the small huffer- it has a 080 now and it was suggested to step down to better match the VE's fuel curve.


And JQmile can stay away with his nitrous suggestions.:hehe: I wanna see what I can squeak out on fuel.
 
If you guys have any pics of the twin setups in a first gen- please show them as I am wondering if I should do the traditional compounded setup or should I flip the small charger around and sent the larger one up front?
 
Whats the goals play truck should be a fun setup either way.
 
Stainless sells a piping kit for a top and bottom set.

I ran a sump on my truck last year. We saw -15 actual temp a couple of times never had an issue.
 
Yeah, I forgot how much it was. A buddy built his own, pretty standard configuration except the primary was slightly farther ahead.

I was just going to suggest a little bit....:lolly:

Can I suggest water/meth? 14mm pump? bif

I might suggest some bigger injectors, but otherwise, fun build! Here's a pic of a big turbo in front setup I saw on a 1st gen out here in CA....looks like lots of room!

Anyways, have fun with it!
 
Oh, even with the larger turbine housing on the 57, it should still spool quite well.
 
There's plenty of room to build a side by side kit and the only thing you have to relocate is the coolant overflow tank. Stock heat exchanger is still in place in the picture above. I used a Holset he351cw and a box stock 75/96/1.32 BW. Works great.
 
Here's a side by side set up we did. Hx35 and an ht60. I like the primary flipped with a 90 hot pipe. I think its a lot cleaner than building a trombone hot pipe.

Yes we made a 4in down pipe. I'll see if he has any pictures of it. I don't consider the cold pipe a trombone, its a nice transition.

I was referring to how you have to 180 it off the secondary and come up to a 90. Just doesn't look natural in my opinion.
