Twin Turbo Build Thread

lol, I take it you've never buried a crank before... And why would a couple vacuum actuated valves not make me want to toy with a seq setup?
1939 Nash, 4 bolt Boss, Offset ground turned under 4ma high nodge crank, shortened forged rods, forged flat tops, high eccentricity trymetal clevites, aussie 2v quench heads "port matched," machined canted pedestals comp screw in studs "by hand," comp guide plates, comp forged pushrods, harland sharp 1.6 ratio ex, 1.73 in, single groove stainless valves, dual v springs, 530l 280d comp cam, dual quad aussie 2v weind tram "circa 73 very rare" ARP this that and the other, list goes on and on. "8,000 redline 6L 11.7:1 " I need a taller cam but the 530 will hold me over for now. Oh, and then I drive that little miata every once in a while lmao

Hmmm, no not by any means, I just think its funny that a few people are up in arms over this. I've got a few parts and I'm going to have some fun toying with building a little turbo set up. I'm no master and I don't pretend to be, I would hope that you would interpret that I come from a world where we don't buy bolt ons unless we have to. Hand build most anything and enjoy it just like most people do. English wheel for the win, right up there with all the rest.
Also my rod isn't fast , its only around five or six hundred hp so its almost quick. I don't want to have to run alch or 130 ack, but I'm like the rest out there just having fun with a little roadster. Just seems like people want to flame every one else instead of giving constructive advice?
Burying a crank, "history lesson..." back in oh, well before we could buy headers they would bury the internals because constant temp stress relieves the metals. 9 months later your crank etc. is born to a happy family : )

As to my credentials, I doubt any of that is relevant either. Even though my profession is about as close to cars and racing as the average car enthusiast ever gets.

Looks like I hit a nerve? I guess you could say I've been building cars since I was a kid, so maybe around 15 or so years, you know drag racing, road racing, a little SCCA, some sport driving, maybe spending some time working on that old 9.3l 460 stroker, or that cute little tt 350z, I'd rather work on the 50 fleetline though, after all who doesn't love a mighty mouse ehh? "Turns around looks at full G-force fire suit hanging in closet..."
But seriously I'd love for you to explain to me, "in detail," how engine building has nothing to do with fabricating a little forced induction set up? Granted we are now straying from actually getting things done, gathering info, sharing ideas, and exp, to a flame/pissing contest? If it makes you feel a better go for it... I personally would you rather not waste my time

Damn guys, lighten up. This guy is obviously not one of the common noobs we get here. I say give the guy some credit and time to see what he comes up with.
Wreck, some of the guys on here are super insecure and need to e-thug to make it through the day. Dont let em get you!

lol, of course that was me, however I trashed that idea based on gear drive issues + parts are available right off a supra. And your idea was bad at all, but I'm not starting with sequential, I just tossed the idea out there for only cutting off part of the exhaust flow from the secondary to play around with building boost. There would be a limit however on how much based on the pressure in the charge pipe, so on. I haven't done the math on it yet so its still, "just an idea." After I get the mani tacked up on Saturday I'll post a couple more bits up, I am going to run the twin Greddy bov + an oil cooler in line to the oil feed for the turbos. I'm waiting on the oil filter bypass adapter from summit though, should ship by the first of the month, "out of stock for the lose."
The parts I was talking about earlier for the valving are the, Exhaust Gas Control Valve, "EGCV," and the Intake Air Control Valve, "IACV." Both of these are rather easy to source and are operated by vacuum actuators. It's actually kinda simple, check out the diagram.
