MY DD turbo'd whatcha think? Not Ford or Import :)

[cobraCMDR]

Not a stang or cobra but my DD that I have been working on. The turbo is 62 compressor trim 80 exhaust trim. Should do nicely against the imports It started out as a true garage queen 1 owner since new, 1988 grand prix SE the original poster car, 5 speed the works. I added a bunch of stuff to the interior then started on the turbo stuff. The intention is to have a quick DD that looks like a run of the mill GPSE but can knock your socks off. Here is some background on recent stuff.

Originally it was the stock turbo from the 89-90 turbo grand prix a garrett T25 I don't remember the specs. It was a junkyard turbo that I got with the rest of the parts (Pick a part find of the century). I rebuilt the turbo myself but the problem was the blades were not balanced when I got it and it did not last long before the blades started hitting the housing. I got it just in time. I sent if off the guy who I'm working with on the tuning who also rebuilds slash up grades them.

The new turbo is the old one with a super 60 compressor housing, 47.2mm inducer, 60 mm exd Trim 60 A/R .60. The turbine housing has been bored out to accept a 80 trim wheel. It is basically a disco potato without the ball bearing center section and a bigger turbine wheel. Right now i'm running 10 psi but I need to get the crossover fixed because it leaking at one of the joints. I plan on running 12 psi at thet track on 110 octane. I'm thinking it will make somewhere around 300 hp at the wheels at that pressure but I have no idea. Once I get it all finalized and fine tuned I'm going to take it to the dyno to find out for sure.

Thanks for the comps guys!

I don't think there is a cleaner or cooler example of that car on the planet. Awsome job at keeping everything neat & functional. What kind of #'s does it run?

 

[VenomGTX]

Sweet! I actually like the interior design of that car......its different. Seats look comfy too.

I love the interior, and I love the fact that the car is so damn ugly. :rofl:
