$400 would be a steal for the install. What brand of turbo's do you have ? Bank's engineering is the first name that pop's into my head when turbo's are mentioned.

 

Somethings fishy here.... Your first post and no hello.... $400 for a turbo install.... Are you sure you have a Camaro.....

You ordered a Twin turbo kit and didn't get an install manual !!! Who makes the kit? I thought banks is the only company that sells a TT kit for the SB. And why don't you just call the company you ordered it from?

More info......

 

You might try www.theturboforums.com Those guys are pretty good and they have a lot of members who may have seen your setup before.
Also, someone here may know about your kit just tell us which one it is??

 

and he's gone.............lol

i got the kit for $995 from an overstock sale, don't get me wrong i love my car, but i'm mechanically DECLINED. I know the basics, but i don't know the hard core stuff.

well, be careful. That price wouldn't even pay for the materials to make two 321 stainless headers (materials cost $1000-3000 by themselves) and then they include two turbos, wastegates, gauges, intercooler, blow offs, etc.

As far as install instructions, if the seller doesn't have anything can you get ahold of the company that made the kit? If not, check the turbo forums for info that is linked above.

Any pics?

kevin it looks like a recipe on how to blow up a small block(lol).. how much was this kit? what have you done to your motor and your trans and the rear to prepare for da boost .?

what on your car has been prepped to handle the turbo's?

 

this is all i have done so far: Edelbrock 750 quadrajet carb, turbo 350 trans, hybrid twin turbo, 3/4 cam, rocker rollers, 3" flowmaster exhaust *headers back*, 373 gearing.

any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

motor rear and tranny go boom

 

well thanks for the input, um, lol, got any tips for me so all that don't go "boom"

 

im thinking that you need to do alittle more prep to your drivetrain otherwise you are gonna waste a lot of time and money....even a civic that you put 10lbs of boost to needs to be built up.....

 

well like i have said before i'm not a mechanical genius, not a motor head, i'm here for tips, tricks, and pointers...

 

Looks like the ebay twin turbo kit. I would get on the turbo forums and read as much as possible before attempting to install. Also see if anyone on the forum lives close and would be willing to help you out.

 

yeah it is ebay twin turbo kit, you heard anything bad about them?

 

Kevin, I think a few guys here are kind of tip-toeing around the real issue, which is that turbo charging is really not for a beginner or someone not mechanically inclined.

It's kind of like you got a good deal on rocket fuel. The problem is that you have to know how to build rockets before you can put the fuel in it, or things are going to blow up.

Yea well them NASA guys didn't let the O rings or the foam insallation thing bother -em,, An after all its kevens money--Just --Keven-- get us a utube link of the kaboom~~ moment of truth!

 

aww, well again i thank ya for the concern, but the only way for a beginner to adance is if he is able to get assistance from others. so what else should i put into consideration prior to install

 

I do admire your enthusiam!

 

Kevin, the other guys have said it but I can relate. Looks like you got a great deal on a package and you're seeing a unique, screamin machine when complete. But as everyone has said, unless you're ready to do some serious learnin, you're probably in over your head. The kid in you is screamin to be let loose but you very well may end up with a basket case, ie the project never works and your car becomes a permanent garage fixture, or you give up after months or years and pull everything off and have something that you now can't even sell. That's alot of frustration to pay $1400 for. Do some serious thinkin before you jump off that cliff my friend....

 

kevin, keep digging for info, she will be on the rear bumper when you get it done, get as much info as you can before you do anything to it...keep digging you will get gold sooner or later...

 

its like getting righ out of boot camp, reporting to your first unit and being told you going to combat in one month. no time to get the training everyone else has, just in over your head, but the good news is, as you make mistakes along the way, there are people there to assist you and mold you into a better soldier. but the good news is, i blow the engine i'm good, i got a 454 on back up. i really do appreciate the suport and concern, but i'm not here for me, i'm here for my car....

 

kevin skip all the bs and just put the big block in it...sell the turbo's and buy ya a big roller cam....:beers:

 

haha, gold? dig any deeper cpt, i'm gonna fall through and see charlie

kevin i hate to jump on the bandwagon here but to make those kits work good you need a lot of know-how with turbos systems. a friend of mine bought a 'made in china' ebay kit and it was a disaster. but he tried to put it on before asking for any help first and it was a train wreck. eventually his brother in law got the thing running but once he put it over 8lbs of boost he threw a rod and the rest of the motor went with it. as stated above stock motors are not built for much boost, the stock internals cannot handle the extra stress. if you are serious though you might want to look into a good forged rotating assembly on a steel crank. then on top of that you will have to have your block and heads machined to fit an o-ring around the cylinder to help contain the boost although they do make some MLS gaskets that claim they can handle low boost applications. just do your homework before you slap this on and expect to be have a 10 second car. and dont forget.....the faster the car goes the faster it will have to stop and handle so that means upgrading brakes and suspension components. so you really need to plan out your project ahead of time and think of all the supporting systems. not to mention the car will most likely turn into a track only car and if its your daily driver then youll have to replace it with a beater and theres another cost. so im not being totally negative but just make sure you know what your getting yourself into. if you have any more questions i will do my best to help you out, feel free to shoot me a PM. good luck

>>> that is the type of information i am after, i appreciate it tim

 

All I gotta say is read www.theturboforums.com and put a search in EBAY TURBO KITS. See how good they are. I haven't read one good thing. Sorry I don't mean to be negative, but be careful.

 

Marc, your link is to some forum in a diff. lang.

I'm curious about this kit.

I think first you should put the project on hold until you get a hort block to handle a forced induction set up.

Forged pistons, good rods, good rings... at least the basics.

 

ls1tech.com has a good turbo section too
