Reading rough that, he mentions it's laggy under 3,500. This is a street truck, that will see the track once or twice a year at the most.

Would something like a .70 A/R be more responsive.

Sorry, new to the turbo world.

 

I've had good luck with my on3 billet 88 and now I'm switching to twin on3 78/75's.. Hard to beat at 399 a piece..

 

The gt45's are only $190 shipped! Also found a package deal out there where you get a WG/BOV/turbo blanket and a GT45 for $300 shipped. Thats a pretty hard price to beat IMO. $110 for all the extras is a smokin deal.

Lag under 3500 rpm? My "tight" converter stalls over 3500 rpm once boost kicks in. I can't imagine many would spend much time under 3500.

 

Link to the 190 shipped auction> These are the ones I was looking at.

I have twin gt35s (T4, roughly 6161s) on my 5.3 and they're a lot of fun. If I feather the throttle around 3k and stab it, I'm at 22psi in less than a second.

 

The appeal of the gt45 to me is of course cost first. But also you are pretty much guaranteed 1:1 back pressure ratios. Which means u can run a more aggressive cam and make much more power per LB of boost. Instantly having 20+ lbs of boost on a typical v8 isnt needed IMO. then u just fight traction all the time. The gt45 is big and heavy with old wheel design tech. But for 190 each I still think they are the best value out there.

That's stupid cheap.. Ordering 2 of them now. What size gate would you recommend?

 

before u do that u may consider the 300 deal. ill pm u

 

ForceFed......how about sending me that PM, too? I'm curious. Thanks.....

 

how about posting that deal on here. ild like to check it out as well.

 

Yes. Post a link to the deal. Please.

 

Thought it was against site policy to post links to non sponsored merchandise? Guess they can remove it if is...

I guess the deal here is no one was buying the girly blue items. So the guys are selling them in a package crazy cheap.

Can of black BBQ grill high temp paint will fix it!

Check it out now: http://r.ebay.com/UJCuw8

 

Wow! To my door in SE Wisconsin in about 22 hours!

Thanks for the link bud!

 

Are these going on a stock block?

 

Yes, with the boost kept low. Eventually going on a SHP or Little M build. Just going to play around at low boost till then and learn to tune on a twin setup.

 

So you finally decided to go for it. Nice! That same $190 dealer is where I got my two. My 101mm large frame is gone now, so I am definitely going to run these twin gt45's on my 427.

 

Yeah, now to make em fit. haha

 

I know nothing about turbos, but I'm guessing to replace an F-2 Procharger, these cheap turbos wouldn't compare power wise?

 

What are you making now?

 

1127rwhp at 25-26lb's boost

 

two of them SHOULD support that, as ive seen singles make in the 630rwhp range, but as twins the highest ive seen made is 820ish on 19psi on e85.

Just some food for thought

 

How many cubes?

 

Mines a Dart lil M, standard bore 400 cu in. I was hoping for more hp than what I've got now?

 

Honestly I think you would be about the same with these. Though stepping up to 88's would be a whole 'nother ball game..

 

Post pics

 

The 'ole lady had some shopping to do today and asked if I could take the kid's 5 month pictures while she was out... Lol!

 

Done has that look, your in trouble. Boy, what I could do with these!!!

 

Would you guys recommend running 4" from the housing then stepping down to 3", or just going 3" from the housing all the way back?

 

on the gt45's i used to run we had them stepped down to 3" at the housing but it only went about 3ft till it dumped out the fender.

 

Rule is 120% of the exducer, technically 3.6”. 3.5” is plenty IMO, no need for 4”. Always best to go as far as possible with the larger diameter pipe. For twins in an application like yours, I’d just go for what’s easiest.

If it were me, I’d weld 3.5” directly to the housing with some sort of 3.5” electric dump. Then run a baby 2” pipe right off the down pipe. It will be the quietest, best flowing, and lightest option(probably cheaper too) No mufflers required. Something like this off each turbo will be very quiet. My 2" pipe dumps under the car up front. Fumes are the only concern really. With E85 I don't notice any fumes. If I run pump gas it gets pretty stinky in the cab.

 

Is the GT45 in the $300 deal the same one everyone uses for their budget builds? I've never seen one with the Emusa logo on the compressor housing. Unless this is a housing unique to his seller.

 

Yes it's the same 68mm GT45 turbo that has been posted for $190. It just says EMUSA on the compressor housing. I'm running one in my car.

 

I think someone said they come from DNA motoring. I see they've gone up to around $225 to $250 on ebay. Viren has the 83/88 for $525 last time I cked. Has anyone compared it to the On3 88mm?

 

Anyone have one of these ebay turbos blow, taking the motor out with it? Seems like for a cheaper jy setup these would fit the budget, but for someone with a lot of money in their motor maybe not?

 

If you're running pump gas, you're running an intercooler, so the chances of debris getting into the engine is pretty small.
