Found this while searching on evilbay, pretty interesting. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oldsmobi ... ccessories

Thats actually pretty cool. Not $425 cool but still cool. It looks easily made and he even goes to the effort to show you the sizes things need to be with his tape measure. I think I know what I'm building next.

hell yeah thats cool!! Thats the first turbo setup "in production" i've seen.

Why wouldn't that setup fit a smallblock?

That would be cool and worth the $425 if the "manifolds" were actually cast and looked like a production piece.

However those just look like something someone welded up in the backyard. If your going that route, just buy some Weld Els sold just about anywhere and grab your welder.

You had that idea too huh? I know a guy a friend of my brothers that did that... He put an SBC in a second generation Mazda RX7 and made some home grown manifolds out of cheap header flanges he bought out of summit or jegs or something, and some "weld els" from the hardware store and used the turbocharger off of a garbage truck. Ran like crap but once it came on the boost it sure was fast.

It probably only took the first 5000 rpm to get to turbo up to rpm so you could feel the boost.

thats when you need a t25 to spool up the bigger turbo. :lol:
