235 super charger ?manifold

[JumboAMONGus]

anyone ever tried or see these and what kind of blower supercharger do they take ? not a real good pic ...will this run like say a 6-71 blower http://prostores1.carrierzone.com/se...evrolet/Detail

[JumboAMONGus]

and they list an other manifold three piece ,im thinking getting set up , stock motor with this should give the extra little punch for todays demanding aggressive driving on the freeway ,, lol

Don't forget the fact that it will look super cool!

If it were me I'd use a turbo plus EFI. With the right computer you get a lot of protection if there's a problem under boost.

But that's the type of thing I like to do.

[robin58]

There's quite a few threads on the inliners.org forum about supercharging/turbocharging some of the straight sixes.

If you're serious about doing it, that's where I'd head for tips and recommendations.

[JumboAMONGus]

yes defiantly ,im thinking be a good winter project ,,,just trying to figure out what style blower it would take or how big you can go on a stock motor , the motor was rebuilt from what i was told but i have never pulled the head off to see , is clean dont smoke or knock and runs real strong ,,..ill check into the inliners forums , always wanted to do the side hood scoop , and like the carbs at an angle

all that time and money and you would still have a 235

But it would be different instead of the 1000's of SBC's out there...

This board needs a thumbs up button!

Here, here! Forced induction old I6 is +2 points over SBC in my book.

ive also been looking toward a turbo to put in my AD. but i dont know what size motor. where have you found the turbos for the 235's?

[JumboAMONGus]

i have built and helped build many sbc , and bbc ,, this my first 6 cylinder , and its fun ,, so far i bought the waynes side cover and valve cover and i allready have a dual carb fenton original not the remake, and yes there a little diffrent ,,someone said once before the only diffrence in the 3/4 race cams were they came from corvette or trucks ? i called on intake left a message but no answer back yet ,, my luck there probly sold out or old add

[JumboAMONGus]

ON the turbo thing, i was looking into it ,, that be getting an exhaust manifold ,,, hmmm

i made this turbo manifold for an 4 banger in an 11 fusion for sema.
this was a very tight install for the turbo and all the intercooler piping
a truck would be easy peasy

[JumboAMONGus]

SOOooooo Ogre..does this mean you gonna make some exhaust manifolds ? lol haaa .i found where to get flanges http://www.lakeheaders.com/Home.html

sure, stop by the house and we'll get right on it.
nobody made a flange for that motor, so i made an ogre brand flange out of 4x3/8 steel.
the motor was so new, we had to get an exhaust gasket straight from ford engineering at the assembly plant.
the bends and tubing were ss 1.5'' sched 5 pipe, it was tight to get everything to fit.
the owner of the shop made this car his summer dd, he says it's a lot of fun to drive.

a turbo would be a lot cheaper to install on a 235 than a supercharger
though you would have to get a blow thru carb or build a box over the carb
lots of room in these trucks to mount the innercooler and run the induction tubing.

[JumboAMONGus]

i was just wondering is there a difference in a turbo from a gas or diesel ..i know where to get free turbo from a diesel i used to be a mechanic , but not a fabricator , i know i cannot weld good enough to put a exhaust manifold together

[cotsi95]

No a turbo is a turbo. No difference between one off a diesel and one off a gas motor. SPA already makes a turbo manifold for the 190-292 motors in both a t3 and t4 style. I don't know if these would work on a 216-235. Other than that a clifford 6=8 4 barrel manifold and a blow through carb and viola turbo'd I6. But you would probably need some beefed up internals to handle any sort of power.

[1project2many]

Ogre... Wow. Nice work.

No difference between one off a diesel and one off a gas motor.

True, but wait...
Diesel turbos are not always water cooled.
Diesel turbos are sometimes sized smaller with no wastegate. Max boost is limited by small turbo size.

Best answer, get turbo information and / or vehicle and engine size to figure out just what free is worth.

[JumboAMONGus]

im gonna call tomorrow and find out what kind of turbo i can get then i will know what i need to do , i seen one they used stock manifold and run turbo on passenger side , then just be getting a pipe made up with a flange to bolt turbo on to ,that run under oil pan ,

[JumboAMONGus]

i just read a forum on here about a 250 blow threw and he mounted with a j tube off stock exhaust and a offenhauser top to a holley 350 two brl carb , that be the easiest way , not to hard to mount the turbo , i figured you had to have a manifold ,, stock seams to work http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=396373

I have never seen a water cooled turbo. Do you mean the after cooler?

[Rude Dude]

Here is a video of 235 with TBI setup thought you might be interested. When you add turbo it gets pricey and complicated.

235 inline 6 fuel injected - YouTube

[Midgets50]

so will a 235 be able to hold up to a turbo charger ive seen others with the bigger inline 6s turboed but i cant seem to find anyone who has finished a 235 turbo idea

Water cooled turbo just means that there are coolant lines to the center section of the turbo to help cool it. If a turbo doesn't use coolant to help cool the center section then it is just an oil cooled turbo. An after cooler is typically called an intercooler.
