Twin turbo kit

[MMARAUDER]

anyone know where i can find a twin turbo kit for my MM?

[ImpalaSlayer]

yes, right next to the flying pigs

[MMARAUDER]

does anyone make a kit? if so how much do u guys think it would cost i've looked i cant seem to find them

[ImpalaSlayer]

cant find cuz they dont exist. youd have to get it custom done. if you do please let us know as many would love a set up like this

[RR|Suki]

Just build one :)

[MMARAUDER]

anybody know the best turbos?

anybody know the best turbos?

might wanna try the turbos off of say a turbo diesel super duty... two of those of a crashed truck shouldn't be hard to get a hold of, and should give a bit of power... that's assuming you are doing a garage build. Otherwise ignore what I said :D

[kariamack]

I have a single turbo kit ..but its not for sell .....yes yes yes ..its a PTK but a redesigned one .and no I haven't installed it yet

[SC Cheesehead]

I beleive Juno is turbocharged, may want to PM for some info.

sounds good. dont know much about turbos but why ignore what u said?

[RR|Suki]

what I said only pertained to building your own kit, so if you were planning to buy a kit, my comments wouldn't be much help.

you'd need a good exhaust guy or someone good at fab work to bend you some pipe and make some flanges for the hot side of the turbos including the wastegates etc. (exhaust side). You'd also need him to bend you some cold side pipe. You'd need injectors, fuel pump, prob need an intercooler. You'd want to run a blow through MAF (google Pro mass air systems)... hmmm a tuner. OH and a lot of vision as far as where and how to locate the turbos and the pipe etc. what hellion has done for the GT500 is pretty neat and might even work on our cars:

Then there's time time time time time time time, worked with people on some garage builds and it's def time consuming, and those were on a lot smaller motors. It is more than doable if you are brave :D

Turbos off of a Dodge with a cummins would be easier to mount, due to simple design of them(oil feed and drain lines) Are simple stainless steel lines. Powerstroke(garret turbos) have a simple feed line but the drain is built into mounting base. just my :twocents:

there we go, even more good info, simplicity is always nice :beer:

[MMARAUDER]

how much hp do u think i can get out of the twin turbo cummings setup

[MMARAUDER]

and should i try and find the same year of my MM?

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Wouldn't you think the turbo's basically right on and around the trans to be a no no? If those bad boys heat up enough wouldn't they burn up the trans pan oil? I think this because I blame my transmission woes on my lincoln on the blazing hot clogged cats I used to have on it.

i know absolutely nothing about turbos

[Blk Mamba]

Then you need to start studying as much as I do, some one makes a twin kit for the mustang, but they are rear mounts, so a lot of piping, I could go on for ever, about what I've learned so far, but my ideal may not be yours, I thought I wanted to be first, but I'll step aside for you, but it isn't going to be as easy as a S/C.

The company that markets a remote turbo is " ststurbocom".

knowing absolutely nothing hurts your chances... nothing a lot of time and mechanical inclination can't fix (if you have a lot of both those things). If you are mechanically inclined, you could even build your own supercharger kit. That's what I did, centri blower is pretty easy to do yourself as long as you can get all the parts together, again takes some time. Took me a long time, even after the initial ripping out what VT had done and doing things in my own image, I still had bugs to work out, and parts to move around. However I ended up with a high CFM blower kit that cost me a lot less than the cheapest Marauder kit sold... Again though, takes time, vision and knowledge.

In short if you have the money it's miles easier just to buy a pre done kit

[wchain]

PTK has a kit but IIRC a member here ordered one and it took months to get it together and shipped to him.

[ctrlraven]

If you really want a turbo kit, go talk to Dennis Reinhart since he is in FL and has worked on Todd's turbo beast so will have some idea about it all.

[Dennis Reinhart]

anyone know where i can find a twin turbo kit for my MM?

If we can find a donor car we are going to do one here

[cougar9150]

I myself am planning on starting on a single turbo kit in the next 2 or 3 years. I was also planning on using a junk yard turbo, buying a pipe bender from Harbor Freight (don't need the expensive tools because not sure if I'll ever use it for something else) to make my own tubing, not sure about the intercoler at this point but I want the inlet below where the battery is (gonna trunk mount it) and the outlet to come up on the intake side.

I have slowly been doing research in my spare time but if you just look for info online there is a ton available. i have only so much time available with work, sports teams 4 nights a week, getting ready to go back to school, and finding time for my wife. When I get home later today or tomorrow I will PM you some links I have found informative. I do believe I just googled DIY turbo.

I myself don't plan on going crazy for horse power but would like to get in the 400 to 500 range, without to much lag. It should be fairly easy with todays technology and the amount of information you can find from people here and other forums such as http://www.theturboforums.com and http://www.turbomustangs.com. Both sites are run by the same people but there is alot of info to be found at either.

I'm over just NW of Tampa. I'm not sure what your time frame is but maybe we might be able to work together on some aspects of this. This is my first time trying something like this but I was a Manufacturing Engineer for the last few years at a Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturer (we make machines that turn silicon wafers into computer chips) so I'm pretty confident that my mechanical design abilities can be used on my car. I'm still learning my way through Inventor 10 and Solidworks (3D CAD programs) but it takes time at home because my computer is older and the programs swallow alot of memory. I plan on taking te official courses at St Pete College soon as it sometimes easier to be taught than to wing it and learn yourself.

Dennis what do you mean by donor car? Someone to lend theirs to test fit a kit?

[NTHE10s]

What are your goals??
What kind of $$$$ are you looking to spend?

Rich

[MMARAUDER]

tryin to stay under 10k but its gonna be a while.times are tough for everyone

[O's Fan Rich]

There are a coupel of TT Mustang/Cobra kits out the that could serve as a starting platform... but you'd still need to do custom work.

Hellion has a neat kit out for the GT500 that puts the turbos off the manifolds.

[NTHE10s]

i know a guy selling some NEW turbo stuff. on another forum. great price and great place to start... it is just for a single.

Save your money and just have a muffler shop make the bends for you. The "cheap" pipe benders at harbor freight are for bending heavy wall electrical conduit only. It will kink thin wall stuff. Really need a good mandrel bender for thin wall...just like the muffler shops have. If your hell bent on doing it yourself you can borrow my HF junk bender.

they sure are... take your time a do your research.

You give him your car, a bunch of Benjamins and he gives you back a much faster car with quite a few more miles on it.

Sometime, maybe. Contact Juno..He purchased a Turbo kit for his Marauder...took months to get most of it. Had a nightmare from hell time but has run it at Sebring with us and the SVTOA guys a couple of weekends that I know of. He is a very capable and knowledgable guy and I would make my first step, if I was interested; talking with Jay. ...I have owned 3 turbo charged Porsche automobiles over the years, street and track driven and own a turbo charged DD car now. They were all factory designed and built and fit the applications. I can't understand the interest in TC for the Marauders. The Trilogy S/C options available, tested and proven, bulletproof and providing instant power with up to 23# of boost at 2800 RPMs to the red line. Color me confused. Dennis

Thanks for the info on the bender. I figured by it cheap and if it didn't work right then nothing much lost. I will have to find a shop that I trust to do the work.

I'm just interested in doing the Turbo kit myself to be different. Just something I have always wanted to try once and I can do it for significantly less than say a Trilogy kit or one of the others available. I'm not saying if a cheap used one came available i wouldn't be interested but the 7k price tag is to much for me.

[kariamack]

I really See where you are coming from ..I wanted to be different ..because both of me friends have either a trilogy or the Paxton witch is just like to vortec ..i could have gone either way, but i decided to be different. so a turbo was the choice i made ..Ive had my turbo set up for about 8 months now ..i haven't installed it yet ..cause my money isn't right yet ..due to buying a head stone for my brothers site..I have a PTK witch wasn't made very well .so i have a friend of mine that does metal work and can pretty much put anything together..I had him do some of the piping over as i wait to get it installed ..I cant wait for the day it finally happens ..I talked to Juno Todd and Dennis .about my kit..and I'm pretty happy about the decision i made ..I know what a turbo car can do and what it is capable of doing..so i have no doubt about what my car is going to be like..If i know what i know now ..I would have really tried to build my own kit and put it together.

Well this is a good one I guy from Bosnia comes to shop last Monday puts 2600 cash on the table wants me to over night a Novi 1500 to install on a 2007 Massarati, so he is out looking at the cars and he said he can install a twin turbo on a Marauder no problem, so if some one has the money and the car to give up, will do it.

IF YOU HAVE SECOND WHEELS FOR THE NEXT YEAR, GO FOR IT ? IF NOT, DON'T EVEN THINK OF IT !!!:shake:

[BATMANN]
