Turbo v8 set up's

[OFF T4P]

Just wanted some info and pics on holden v8 turbo setups efi and blow through.
would like to know what you have and abit about your set up to help me make a choice on which way i should go.

have a chat with jakes performance in canberra. he knows his stuff both blow-thru carby and efi

I love people that offer no help at all. The guy wanted info and pics of setups not a recommendation of a shop that's in another state.
OP I'll post up some pics later, I have collected tons to help setup mine but they are all EFI.

thanks mate. i am still undecided if i will change over to efi or keep it carb just trying to work it out which would be best for my 355

and now he knows where to get it, dunno about u but i would trust jake's advice a hell of a lot more than that of some random dude on a forum

EFI hands down winner will compensate itself for temp altitude weather etc blow through carbs should be left in the 40's LOL

yea i am half keen to go efi only thing is i need to get new heads and computer and wiring and all the other shit. oh well always liked the idea of a ttb come manifolds under my bonnet. is anyone making turbo kits for these motors. I dont want to use standard manifolds upside down (not a cheap c**t lol). should i go twin or go single turbo. its going on a fairly worked 355 turbo 400 9" mini spool in a vk. i sorta want it to spool fast so was thinking twins would be better. i am aiming for over 500 ponys at the treads (motor can handle fairly big hp has fordge pistons and all that shit).

EZE10S performance was selling a kit however its no longer on their website. dunno what the go is there. it made 360 odd rwhp from memory but i think they had a bigger turbo option.

i have heard (could be wrong though) that single vs twin there is not much difference in spool up time. 8 pots feeding a big turbo or 4 pots feeding a turbo half the size, works out about even.

twin will cost more, 2 turbo's, manifolds and gates (if u go external)instead of one, more pipework and lines/fittings etc

yea single would be much easier to set up. What were the kits at eze10's going for.

thats a pretty nice rig ay making good power. i would be happy with 500rwhp.

[delcowizzid]

TTVN makes 1200hp with twin gt3582's he can probably blast you up a set of manifolds PURNELL PERFORMANCE

cheers mate i will sus it out.

[Dirbatua]

yea single would be much easier to set up. What were the kits at eze10's going for.

10 grand for the kit or 11-12 installed i believe it was, bloody rip off, can get custom fabricated setups for that price.

[OFF T4P]

yea alls i really want is the manifolds and cross over. thats would save me alot of time if i could be them, instead of getting them made. anyone got a pic of eze10s manifolds. i cant find one looked everywhere

He won't sell you just manifolds, already asked. He will only sell his crappy over priced kit. Only other person making manifolds is 6boost, but they are over priced for what they are, from memory $1600 and you have to use one of the standard cast manifolds.

oh true that is shit house. oh well there is a bloke in townsville here called hi flow exhaust and intercooling he is pretty good might see what he can do for me. just checked out the come website. i think i will be needing this not cheap but: COME Racing 2010 heads complete with alloy valve covers and COME Twin Throttle Body EFI intake...$5600.00 DELIVERED!

Why will you need it? Heads don't make as big a difference on a FI setup as they do on a N/A setup. Been speaking to a bloke who has ran a 9 with a turbo 355 setup, standard manifold and basic heads.

[OFF T4P]

yea i need to change to efi heads and manifold anyways so i might as well get a good set straight up. i have old worked castys on there at the moment. maybe able to speak to come and get something a little cheaper. the come manifolds look sexy but so one of them will be going into the works. what size turbos are these guys running with resonable spool up time.

[OFF T4P]

also i have a fairly aggresive cam (unsure of specs but its really chuncky). I will be more then likely changing to efi would i have to change it or are they like the ls1's and able to tune most cams to suit turbo app.

[delcowizzid]

if you fit vn heads youll need a new cam to suit the valves are set out in the heads in a different order.you really want a cam designed for boost anyway

heads make a massive difference on turbo 20psi on stock heads makes the same power as 12-14psi on ported heads its nothing to see a hundred HP gain just from heads at the same boost reading on a v6 all your power is in the heads and cam no matter what form of induction you run

[OFF T4P]

yea ok new cam on the list also. i might talk to my tuner next time i fly home from work see what he thinks i should do in the head and cam department.

hey mate
dont know if this is any help to you, but im currently building a budget burnout rig vr 5l turbo.
it will be running reversed manifolds, plumbed up to a holset HT3B cummins turbo, air to air intercooler blue top injectors, 2 bar map sensor, arp head studs and ustom ground turbo cam... at the moment its got a "super awesome" crows cam that ive had nothing but problems with.. especialy with tuning...
will let you know how i go. though im not to concerned about reliability haha im half expecting it to go bang in about 30 seconds but trail and error i suppose. jakes performance has turbo manifolds going for 850 i think, mine where free, and have access to our workshop so manufacturing is not realy an issue.

A guy on facebook BOOST OBSESED does a kit 5990 worth a look
