2005 6 speed GTO. The idea behind this, was to not spend alot of money. It's my cousins and I's idea... and the reason is, we wanted or wished we could have something for the GTO to handle some highway cars but,..didn't have the extra money to invest cause we already had other more important costly builds going on. We're pretty much building this setup from somewhat used parts,.... that probably anybody could mock with fabrication skills(keyword,...skills).

The story goes...

I had two schweitzer turbo's that were brand new, and old. Like from the 70's old. Unused. Intended for a powerboat but never installed. I talked to my turbo shop, miketurbo.com...after having my precision's reworked, I gave them these turbos to play with. They ended up changeing the compressor wheels and housings to a GT35r compressor wheels. We used master power modified housings that they had laying around.
I couldn't be happier for the small price invested,.... I actually had them for sale but, some guy tried to screw me over, I got pissed,..and just gave to my cousin and said you can have them, if you put them on the goat.

He, like a good Jedi, accepted. I gave my old wastegates, turbomart 38mm street gates, with multiple springs to choose. We had racepartsolutions hook us up with all the flanges since they are also local. We have a shop neigbor, double AA performance, who is a master fabricator. We bought the material,...brainstormed....brainstrormed,....smok ed some weed,(kiding)...brainstormed some more....and came up with the best possible idea for a location.

Driverside near completion. The pic shows the wastegate but it's just sitting there,..it is not the location it will be afixed








We want a simple 600rwhp on low boost, pump gas, stock motor with exception of a FAST intake, soon to add intank pump or inline, 60 pound injectors,....and a boost a pump.

Thats it,... we recently put in a textralia 700 which should do wonderful.

..the pipes, The compressed air, is two inch outlets on each turbo. We will run two inch pipe from each turbo, to each intercooler inlet. The cooler compressed air, exiting the intercooler will be between roughly 3 1/2 inches...and possibly four. the exhaust housing exit is actually 2 1/2 inches and they are T3 housings. Were planning on running those straight to the stock cats right now. Manly cause every car in our arsenal,....all run an offroad style exhaust of some sort. This is gonna be nice to jump in,...and not have some *****, ***** about the smell of fuel.....not to mention for ourselve as well. If we run into an issue with the stock cats, we will go high flow. Trying to keep it quiet,...and sleeper as possible when the hood is closed. No need to advertise. Can't wait for the unsuspecting 600's going bye bye.

The car NA has gone 12's on street tires(not drag radials or roadrace tires,..) with a FAST, cold air filter, and a Diablosport predator tune back to back to back. It's gonna be alot of fun with the turbos. We also picked up a used borla system were gonna try out and see if it works well or not.

Either way, it's a cool project...one with affordability in mind,...not mention having alot of fun planning and plotting out the idea. Only thing left to figure out for sure is, fuel pump, intank or inline,....and intercooler location/configuration more like. Already have a boost gage, autometer lunar silver face I think... that I had that were gonna mount in center console.

More pics to arrive shortly.

Passengers side tacked up





I'll keep you posted. Theres a one mile event here in october,...we'l try and be there for that.

peace

 

Nice always like seeing twins!

 

Thanks man, should be fun. Looking to take out some unsuspecting highway cars...and maybe some 600's.

 

nice budget build!

 

Thanks man, that;s the big plan.

 

Very cool! Please keep us updated.

 

when you say center console do you mean up on the center dash where the worked holden monaros have the guages sitting? Looks really cool and factory

 

will do man. Finally got the passengers side completely done and installed. Hoping the drivers side will be done this week. Then just need to plumb oil lines and figure out exact intercooler setup.



Cool deal, never saw what your talking about. Since it's my cousins car, and he doesn't seem to want gages visible,...so we will put it in the center console by the cup holders, facing directly up Should be stealth, and I hope it will be in a sot we can monitor it.,...ortherwise we'll find another spot. I do like one on the center of the dash board,...if thats what you speak of, it is badass but,.... not my overall decision holmes.

Thank you for your input bro, appreciate it.

 

click this thread and you'll see what I'm talking about in the original poster's avatar. Also some nice guages in the thread

Nice. I dig the dash and cluster pods. Given the amount o R&D time, as well as build, it's worth two hundred bucks. Now, to sell the cousin on it lol.

Thanks again man.

 

This is one of the goat turbos up against a friends lingenfelter twin turbo corvette GT28 I believe. Turbos gonna eat that little guy.



This is the OLD exhaust housing,...which is larger then the lingenfelter kit turbo but,...small, when compaired to the new maxpower compressor housings that we NOW have.

Can't wait

 

cool budget build!

 

Keeping my eyes on this one! Best of luck

 

+1, making big power on a budget is impressive.

 

Cool deal man..... we'll try and deliver.


Thats the only way we know bro. Only way I know anyways.
Baller on a budget mang.
