You'd have to be out of your mind to be putting even a turbo that big on the 13B! What size si the turbo you speak of?
i am sure Joe knows what he is doing.



you would not really be crazy to put a larger turbo on. the turbo in my pic is off Demetrios's 13B and did some nice numbers. he has since moved onto a different turbo (larger i believe) and is making some crazy power.

keith, the turbo D is now using is a garret i believe, i havent seen it yet, but a few ppl i know have and they tell me it looks to be the same size, if not the same turbo joe is using.

and as for using turbos of this size on a 13B, its not crazy at all, have you seen the turbos the average 7 sec 13B drag cars are using these days? remember were talking drag cars here, lag isnt a concern. when you're sitting on the line at 8000 rpm at 15 psi of boost (thanx to anti-lag) that turbo is easy to spool. we're looking to make power between 5K and 10K, trust me, our turbo will be at full boost by 5K

the hard to believe part is that joe is building a motor for a customer's street driven TII that will be using the exact same turbo the drag car is using in conjunction with an autronic sm2



that customer is on this board, mabye he'll chime in.....

Well, thats badass. I didn't think it was too common for people to be using such ridiuclous sized turbos on little rotaries. I think its cool.
