Going T76 turbo on the Red Knight

[Paladin06Greg]

Man that thing is going to be a monster. Good luck!

yeah... Im curious to hear about the fuel system feeding that... along w\ injectors size ect... sounds like a lot of work

[trd4life]

walbro 255hp intank pump, walbro 255hp external pump inline, -6 lines, 650cc injectors, emanage ultimate, aeromotive regulator. The fuel for the nitrous system is provided by a 1gallon fuel cell with its own pump and fuel pressure regulator.

You know, I flipped out and I didn't even see the first time I read it that the supercharger is staying on the car...

The turbo is so damn big it probably wont make power until 4000rpms, i figure i'll leave the charger on the car to help me out down low. Plus i am wayyyy too lazy to remove it and put the stock intake back on the car!

why not run a smaller turbo that will hit the same boost? or is that not possible/too expensive? Im unfamiliar w\ fitting a turbo to an application

Wow, im going to pay more attention to your posts. Once you get it done I want to see a video of it. When you done you should submit your stuff to modified mag or import tuner. Im sure they would love to hear from you. Get the solara world a boost.

I would have opted for a t66 like rizal, but i got the Turbonetics t76 from a friend dirt cheap. I am a long ways away from importtuner, I still have a bunch of body work to do.

Twin charged is only bad if your engine is weak... or whatever. They have a turbokit coming out for the Cobalt SS that retains the stock supercharger...

With the supercharger to get the car going on low end, a massive turbo for high end would probably work out better anyhow, not to say that 76mm is as massive as you can go, but it ain't no joke. I'm really interested to see this thing get on a dyno and watch how the powerband does.

I'm just wondering what size pulley you're going to run, coupled with this question... wouldn't you get some parastitic or whatever the hell powerloss up high from the turbo running high boost and then running through the charger? I'm kind've a novice when it comes to the mechanics of that. Say you're running 13 psi on the charger and you've got the boost on the turbo upped a bit more. Of course the turbo is going to add a lot of hp up high, but then won't the supercharger actually be taking away a little bit of available power? I know it's gonna be a huge help down low and bye bye turbo lag, but up high you don't wanna be losing power, and you also have to take the safety of the supercharger into consideration. That turbo pushing that supercharger is gonna make those rotors spin much faster than I'm sure TRD ever intended them to.

But Gabe, I know you're the man, and I know you know what you're doing so I'm sure it'll work out cool. The more I think about this the more I can't wait. Good lookin out for 1MZ's and steppin into some new crap, keep up all posted.

The supercharger might burn out the charger thats a risk i am wiling to take.
