Hey guys,
I have a 289 and I am kinda interested in turbocharging. I am fairly new to turbos but know basically how they operate. I have researched alot so far and I am only getting more and more confused with each forum site I open. There are so many different turbos, brands, types, models, ect and I cant keep up.
By the way... The engine right now is a good runner. I would say a conservative 325 horses. I think the compression is a good range for a mild to moderate turbo build. Im keeping my cam, heads intake ect.
I would like to setup twin turbos on my car... I would be very impressed with the high 300 hp range maybe 450? Nothing to burzurk. So, what would be good turbos to use? how much do they cost? What brand or where do I find them? I heard the turbos on ebay are garbage is this true? Which blowoff valves do I need? Do I need blowoff valves? Besides turbos, and some sort of blowoff valves, what other store bought items do I need?
I am planning on fabricating and plumming everything myself so a kit is not necessary.
Please dont get frustrated I really would like to understand this and I hope I am not irritating anyone with my ignorance!
