S.W. Customs V6 Turbo (build)

Eds32vM1 · July 12th, 2008, 11:23 AM

Well from the guys that know me well and have been to the shop, they have seen some of the many project cars I have. This one will be done complete as I've done with my past projects. I'd like to say I'm going to shoot for the big #s but I have to do a little more research in the performance build of this car. Lets just say I'll be happy with a 600+ V6

Here we go , this car was bought from another 3.8 member...
Don't cry Stephen...

:

Progress pic's will go up every 2 days , my goal to finish this is by end of October for SEMA... work permitting

very true...

nice job Ed
everything with RPM going smooth?
i talked with the guy your buying the turbo from
its got a t3 flange
best thing to do is either ask Andy over at TMA turbo to see if he can build you a new cross over pipe for the turbo OR cut the flange and have a t4 flange welded in its place

Chris I sent RPM an e-mail and haven't got a response yet, If you can find out for sure with Andy, the plan is the t76 for the V6 and I'll upgrade the Mach to a t88.

Sneak peak at whats going in the S.W Cobra project.

Eds32vM1 · July 13th, 2008, 12:48 AM

Today, we made a little progress, I hoping to have this in the 1st satges of color by next week.

itschristorres8 · July 13th, 2008, 01:03 AM

hey Ed, the flange is a t3 on your kit i talked with the seller
you can either cut the flange and have a t4 welded unless you wanted a new cross over made, but you might have to send the turbo headers as well

nice motor. but eh stock exhaust manifolds? plus th block needs paint

lol just being picky
also the upper plenum or intake
why not just get a big like 3 or 4inch elbow the wilson makes. you could run a bigger throttle body and probably would be more effective i think

what size is the turbo housing on the 76mm
the a/r is it .84?

ESG-642T · July 13th, 2008, 01:11 AM

Oh Ed....

Just get a turbonetics y2k T80

or GTK-1000

Yeah those pics are a few days old, already painted it, and the exhaust manifold sent out for jet hot coating.
I'm not sure the size of the housing ?

What turbo kit do you have or, are you buying a kit?
