I know that Glen. I am seeing if anyone here is doing it.

Little bit OT, but have you seen the Video from Nelson Racing? Twin Turbo '63 Tempest.. Should be a law against that thing-- mostly because I can't afford an engine like that for my Vette!!

Turbo never interested me. If I were to go exotic, it would be with this setup. Old school!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'd really like to play with that setup. I always recall watching the Outlaw Sprint guys (before they were Outlaw Sprints) and how quick they came on.
I guess I'm a little "Old School" too.

Hilborn fuel injection was THE way to go back in the late 50s-early 60s. Gassers and even rails used it a lot.

 

[ozzyvettman]

Old school is good.........I'm guessing some of you guy's are old enough to have known it before it was called old school Right!:laughing:


There is a Guy here, cant think of his name. built up a BB TT in a C3.
he posted a Video a few months back.
all I can remember is his sig. reads " the only twin turbo big block in Idaho"
Idaho I think but not sure!

Some very good units are by Banks Turbochargers......:thumbsup:

 

[TwinTurbo]

banks uses log style manifold, much like the ones I'm using. I'm not sure theirs will fit though, they have the wastegate up front and it could get tight with the upper control arm cross shafts right there.
