say if you had the money,if twin turbo the way to go with these trucks,or just leaving the super charger maybe adding a whipple and doing just about all the mods you can to it,,give you more power in the end? and im talking for street daily driving..not track?

 

For the money, A turbo setup is the way to go. Consider buying a built block, and KB and all the necessary parts to run this. Then you have a lot more money invested into it than just the turbo setup on the stock block. Now if moneys not an obect, you can build a TT setup. It hasnt been proven just how fast they can go, but Shawn's, which is the one I know the best about, is fully expected to go into the 10s on minimal boost, and very capable of getting into the 9s, or so it is figured anyway. Say there is a single turbo kit for 5k on the market, that will get youinto the high 10s or low low 11s, you probably will not be able to do that for the same amount of money with a s/c, at least not many times down the track anyway, and be reliable as a DD. Just my .02 though

 

I think with a single turbo like Sal's which put down over 800 HP without the juice and then adding a 100 shot, will get you into the 9's.

 

Ill know next week!

 

interestnig,reason i ask is i was thinking of getting a twin turbo system when i pick up my truck,but my brother was telling me not to cause his friend has a supra twin turbo,and says he cant use it all the time he has to wait for it to cool down first?

 

Look here.
twin turbo 32 valve lightning.

 

That's right.... you make a pass let it run for a short time or till your EGTs get down to a certain level (on our Diesel we shut it off when EGTs reach 350 degrees).

Funny about turbos you keep it running to cool it down.

 

so because of the heating problem,then a turbo set up is only good for tracks..cause basically if met on the street more then once,after a few your just gona get blown out if you cant use the turbos?so it better to stick with the s/c

 

Why are you street racing??!!

Superchargers get hot also.

 

Built shortblock and a Garrett GT-42 94mm turbo... If you don't need to make a thousand ponies you could settle for a T76 and make 700 on pump gas without even trying

Anyway my point is: there is no need for twins unless you want to spool up super low.

 

Uh, no..

 

a turbo set up would be great and yeah you can drive it hot
you drive your car hot now dont ya
the main reason for letting a turbo "cool down" is more for letting the turbo slow down, that impeller in there is whiping around in there like a bat out of hell and if you just shut it down its still spining but now the oil supply is shut off so it is spining near dry and that can funk up the shaft
atleast that is how it in in the big trucks and i imagine it is about the same for all

 

Oh, that's what he meant. Yeah I suppose this could be an issue if you were driving it really hard and then shut the truck off. A turbo timer solves this and they're cheap.

 

Either use a water and oil cooled turbo or if it's only oil cooled use a turbo timer.

 

yep they work great, it came in the KW that i am driving right now
old friend had one in his VW also
