single turbo cars

[Eric@jpc]

If your not DEAD set on a turbo...and only looking for 650rwhp worth of street power...why not go with a PD blower?

Otherwise, JPC or CPR kits are going to get you a well designed kit that was thought out from start to finish!

Its hard to beat a PD blower car on the street. And this is coming from a CPR turbo owner.

I am with Mastwolf on this. For that power put a TVS on it and be done. Turbo's are way cool but not worth the headache for that power level.

Yes the TVS will get 650 but as you both know most people say 650 is good... for now and always want to turn it up.

The turbo will give much more room to grow

Yeah but yours is less intrusive and less install time

Yes thats true our kit can easily be put on with hand tools in a garage or a driveway for that matter. Hardest part is taking off the oil pan to do the drain. Unless you go Vortech style and just jam a hole in it.

+1 on turbo. I have the single hellion kit. It works. It's not the best design imo, as ive modified it to my own preference. I've had it for almost two years and its been almost maintainence free. So it's reliable, but being the first kit means everyone else gets to improve your mistakes. I've also taken the swaybar off with no noticible drivability issues. in the future I will probably do a custom setup.

You will be happy with any of the single kits. Yes, some have had back pressure problems with the single hellion. But I know of two local OKC guys that are running the kit and making great power with a few simple changes to the kit. I would see how cheap you can get one, turn it up until you hit a wall, and then make the modifications. Maybe they will see this post and message you. Or just call John Urist and ask your questions. If you just want a single that has 1000 HP potential out of the box, contact CPR or JPC, both are great knowledgeable people that will be honest with you. Good luck and welcome to the "angry coyote feeding on copious amounts of ice cold turbo boost" CLUB. :banana:

Biggest thing I have to say about the hellion single is "Don't get Greedy" and all will be fine...It was designed to make a fun street car not a every weekend dragstrip racer!!!

And as you like to say not all HP is equal lol

ive considered tvs. but you have to rev high to make power.
ive had several turbo foxes( hense my name) and I see the potential of the coyote.
I mean 6-8psi is 600hp...... that's crazy.
I ran 14psi on a 306 sbf and made 595hp

Turbo is the way to go , make over 600hp on 6psi.

First is the MAF placement. The kit I have it is in the intercooler near the exit.

Second is the turbo has a solid mount to the frame. This coupled with the piping being slip on, means that everything will slide and loosen. Not a big issue but annoying. I fixed that by not using the solid mount and using a flexible hanger.

Another thing is the intercooler placement. It's literally behind the bumper,not open to any direct air flow. They supply lowering straps to lower it, but you need to get a few more piping and silicon connectors to make that work without cutting anything.

Don't get me wrong, the kit works and is very reliable. Hellion has great customer support. As stated earlier, if all you want is a 600 hp dd, this is a worthwhile kit. I installed it in a couple days after work each day. But I didn't like a few things and changed them. Like the turbo mount. Also made the wg an atmospheric dump(I think that should be an option). I lowered the intercooler too.

TVS's you do not have to rev high to make power.
