Turbo dilemma....

[HRDROKN]

OK Guys...

I've spent most of the morning trying to fit twins (S300/S400 combo) in every configuration that seemed realistic. And short of chucking the PDI manifold, it looks like the only solution is to build a custom header or re-do my coilover hoops and that will suck! I think that the twins might have to wait as I'm not needing to add more time and difficulty to this project!

Then if I hold off on the twins what single can make HP and not blackout the highway while towing? Can I get to 650 HP?

Currently have a PDR Cam, ported exhaust, PDI T3 manifold and 5x14's, 4K gov, tweaked pump and 5spd.

:bang

This on your conversion truck?

Yep... let me get some pics together.

In this configuration with the S300 on the bottom... running it backwards clears everything. What I don't like is the top charger would have to exhaust forward as I have no room forr exhaust and inlet piping.

I cant run the S300 in standard low mount as the compressor hits the coilover hoops.... would need about 1.5" clearance as I have to space the exhaust flange for manifold clearance also....

I'm going to go flip the manifold and get some more pics....

With a fliped manifold a single fits real nice!

What about something like this

Old picture showing where the S400 would need to be to get exhaust piped out, requiring to run the top charger forward and high....

Another was to run everything up top. This might work, but still not as clean as having a manifold (header) with a forward mount....

Interesting! I have to go look at your link.....

Thanks

Well, instead of a what single to run... this thread turns out to be how to mount twins.... :hehe:

What about this set up?

:doh:

Dont the 3rd gens have the rear mount manifold? If you flipped it, it would be a front mount. Just an idea.

Judging by the pictures, its a 12V with a 3 piece manifold.

Yes I know that.

I think someone said that the mount patern was a little different as well as round ports vs rectangular ports? But if that was doable... I think it would solve the problem!

There was another option of using an industrial manifold, but that thing just isn't going to flow any air!

:Cheer:

 

[apwatson50]

Yes I know that.

I see what you were getting at now, in that case, 12V has rectangular ports in the head, I know the 24V and CR have round ports in the manifold, don't know how well they match up?

 

[tony597fitter]

I know the 24v manifold bolts up. You could port the manifold to match

Has anyone done this... is there enough material to port match?
