I missed the review I guess, lol...thats a hell of a setup. I plan on following pretty close...I've decided on the T78 from GReddy instead of the T76. I'll also use Haltech...don't have any experience w/ any others, lol. I'm gonna shoot for about 500RWHP though....I'm doing a BIG streetport...and 3mm seals w/ FD internals most likely...hardened stationary gears, etc...I've been reading into getting the motor dowled bigger or stronger, or something like that...any advice on that? Ya know, to keep the motor from stressin...

I have a Garrett T-76(not the same as a Turbonetics T-76) that I'm going to try out. I'm probably going to do a "special" port on my motor over the winter. If it works out then I should be able to make 600+ RWHP if I get my setup right--easier said than done. You can pin the motor, but getting those extra dowel pins can be expensive, like $1000. You should be able to make 500 RWHP without pinning the motor. I have my own ideas for reinforcing my motor, but I have to see if they'll work.

My new turbocharger is capable of 1000 HP, but I don't know if I would even want to attempt to build a 13B capable of handling that. Now a 20B....

I may try it out on the Midget if I go completely nuts. I'd like to hold onto it for a while just in case a need for it comes up.

Can't you use FD housings, and be good for about 600 hp?

89-91 housings are pretty strong. For some reason my motor had an 87-88 rear housing, even though all of the other parts are 89-91. Either it was like that when I had it or the shop that did the motor 2 years ago switched them. It doesn't matter now.

Ok that's it, 13BAce needs to be banned from the forums. All this talk of pinning motors and 600whp and big turbos and special ports and stuff!

The jealousy is killing me!
