What I really need to know is if my cams will allow me to add a turbo. I'm not so concerned with if it is the best cam for a turbo (probablly isn't) I just want to know if I am going to break things if I put a turbo on this engine. JBrady said that large valve overlap can make the flow go...

Well those are going to be hard questioins to answer. I beleive the cams were custom ground from the original ones. I know they were not purchased and I know the engine builder had to custom make them. They are probablly made from the originals. The heads were also ported by the same engine...

Oh also, my engine is from a 93 lexus. I heard that was one of the best years, but I have no idea of the truth of that statement. Any extra info on this year engine woudl be good. (compression ratio, what internals are forged, etc...) The engine was completely rebuilt, bottom and top and I...

Well thanks guys for the info. The engine was dynoed already when it was built. It still has less then 200 miles on it. Attached is the dyno sheet for the engine. This is at the crank shaft and NOT at the wheels. About the cams, (First off I know very little about cams and their specs so...

My mistake, the Rod Millen supercharger is intercooled. So that 70-90 Wheel hp increase at 4-6 psi is with an intercooler. But the twin turbo on this site is NOT intercooled and made an 88% increase in power at 8psi. I just don't see how putting an intercooled turbo at 8psi on a 400hp engine...

hey guys I have a question for you. i have been talking about this with several people and I get different answers so I would like to try to better understand what sort gains to expect from supercharghing or turbocharging. Here is the scenario. (All horsepower figures are at the crank) I...

Great, then the T61 it is for me, the GT40 is just to expensive. I have seen the T61's for $650 or so but I went on Ebay and there are people selling them for $400. It looks legit to me as he seems to have a lot of them and he has a high rating. He says they are new in box. Anyone have any...

Well after much calculation (much thanks to you guys and www.turbocalculator.com) I decided that the T61 would be a great turbo for my application. The T70 seems to be too much as it provides better eficiency for higher boost applications and the 60-1 won't have enough efficiency for the flow...

Supercharging was my first thought. But in reality it would be harder to add a supercharger then a turbo in this car. There really isn't any room on top of or in front of the engine for the supercharger. It may be posisble (doubtfull!!) to fit a supercharger on top of the engine but it would...

I'm thinking of using a T61 single turbo. It seems like it would be good for my low boost application but still be able to provide the amount of power I will be making. What do you guys think of this turbo in this application? It should spool faster then the T70 correct? Let me know what you...

Thanks, well that clarifies where I can locate the turbo and if I should connect it to both sides of the engine exhaust or not. Thanks. Since this is a street car more then a race car I don't want a turbo that is not street-able. I'm looking for something that is reliable and gives low boost...

Some pics have the exhaust fitted and some don't. Obviously the ones without the exhaust fitted won't do you much good. Scroll further to the bottom of the page past the videos to find these pics.

There are a ton of pictures of my engine bay on my website. www.adamstyles.com/car.htm Hopefully this will help. I do have a cross-over in my exhuast system. This helps reduce noise and makes things smoother. Should I put the turbo there or would that be too far away from the beginning of...

Hey, I have a crazy car that I purchased. I believe there are some links to it on your site. The Saker SVS GT. (www.sakercars.com www.sakermotorsport.com and www.sakermotorsports.com) I have the first street car in America and I had it made with a 400hp N/A 1UZFE V8 engine. I had custom...
