No problem.

The best way to learn is to do, and I need to learn. Been away from it for too long.

There is a lot of knowledge here, and it would be great to latch on to some of it.

 

We have some very smart members in our little chapter! Lucky for me,, LOL

 

I just have to get organized some more. Too many projects on the go right now to go at it hard core. I plan to build-up a motor in little bits at a time. I don't really have a truck for it yet. Looked at a nice regular cab Dakota and saw a nice old power wagon to. I'm planning on build a mix mash of old recycled parts. I don't want to spend too much on the motor but build a decent one. That way when it breaks, your not out much. The driver side engine brace should be an easy build. I have to get together with dvst8r and build a cool oil pan. Mains gridles aren't to tricky either. I think that I have one block with a th 14mm studs already

 

Dont forget we have to build up some twins on my truck... speaking of which,, I have some big news that I will share with a select few

 

Worst case buddy, we can piece the parts together. You can get the guys to build it up in mac money. Just building a bracing/supports for that heavy primary is gonna be tricky. I wonder if there is enough room to run a intercooler between both turbo staging? I bet that 50 to 60 psi coming out the primary would be toasty. 100-120psi build is gonna be tricky and will take some in-seat trial/error tuning.

 

I would like to mount the primary to the front of the engine, kinda where the battery used to be. Hopefully that will make it easier to work something out. I also am going to run a hood stack.

 

I would put it closer to the frame. That big of turbo would flex all over the place. It can be done either way, just the frame is alot stiffer than the sheet metal stuff. I would design the air tubes to handle at least 150psi. I'll call today on that S595 turbo and get some info on it.

 

What about flex from the engine moving? Or is that really an issue?

 

Man its gonna be tricky to set that big turbo up top. At the power level that your at that engine is gonna be moving all over the place. You could build the supports to take some flex, but I don't long it will last. With you running an alternator and having the second CP on that side. You could put it besides the oil filter, but I don't know how the hot tube will be built. You could put it in the normal spot down by the transmission, but then you might need a plasma torch to get some extra clearance.

 

The second cp3 is on the other side, and I was thinking about getting a remote Oil filter,, so the only thing you will have to deal with is the altenator.. if that helps

 

Wouldn't that make the hot pipe from the secondary awfally long and lose heat energy?

 

That wont be a problem, we can wrap it with header tape, that will hold that in no problem

 

Ok, I found some info on the S510-95

Its rated at 160+lbs/min compressor inducer is 95mm/132 turbine is 110mm and a T-06 divided flange. This turbo is a BorgWarner airwerks unit.

I can get an A/R of 1.15, plus its alot cheaper than the GT series. I'm thinking about adjusting the turbine housing and disk some. I have a do some looking. Its on under 1.8k

There are advanges of being closer to the engine. If you look at STS turbocharger system (gaser stuff), the turbo are behind the rear axle. You just need a tighter turbine housing. Its just backpressure.

 

Sounds cool,, so that should work good with the k31?

 

If he does it like the guy on Comp D, it will make the hot pipe extremely short, like a couple inches long. So very little heat loss, and a longer interstage cold pipe means a intercooler could be used.
