Im sick, very very sick - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Spray-Bomb · 10-21-2008, 07:24 PM

Well I got it painted

Anybody know what Im thinking here ???

Spray-Bomb · 10-21-2008, 07:27 PM

If you guessed TURBO, then you are correct

I you guessed Duramax Turbo on a 500 Caddy in a 67 Chevy short step drag truck, then you are even more correct

71cadc10 · 10-21-2008, 08:00 PM

awesome man....I would sell the EFI stuff on Ebay and use a blow thru carb setup...but that's me

Bob 68327 · 10-21-2008, 08:02 PM

Yup youre a very sick man !!

with too many trucks you should give me some !!!

Nice new truck . Bob

67ChevyRedneck · 10-21-2008, 10:53 PM

You've done more in one day... than some do in years... props

Spray-Bomb · 10-21-2008, 11:14 PM

Thanks man, I get my mad bursts of progress

Longhorn Man · 10-21-2008, 11:20 PM

Matt... you do know the turbo would be way wrong for the aplication though... right? That turbo will be done spinning at 300 - 3500 RPM (rough guess) you'd want something that'll spin up to 5000 or so.

Spray-Bomb · 10-21-2008, 11:38 PM

Im not stuck on using that turbo, its just one I have laying around & would like to find a use for

Its actually too small for building any real boost on that engine
Beings how a Duramax is around 6 liters & my engine is around 8, lets say a dury makes about 8 PSI, then it would be hard pressed to build much at all on a engine that is basically 2 liters bigger

And thats on a stock engine not twisting it over 4K

The Pontiac Trans Am turbos work well as a pair on a Caddy 500.

What EFI controller do you plan to use?

suville · 10-22-2008, 08:05 AM

check this link: http://www.cadillacpower.com/forum/i...d8bb&board=4.0 there is a guy ,Dave Brode that has considerable knowledge on turbo Cads also check out MTS Maximum Torque Specialties Marty Lane in Apple Valley Cal great guy with tons of knowledge on BBC (Big Block Cad). You are in for a thrill, I've got a 69 burb with a 472 in it and a built 507 ready to go in place of the 472 cant wait to play with this! Can you say torque monster! I also believe one of the board members (Grendel) has dealt with Dave maybe he can add to this.

suville · 10-22-2008, 08:23 AM

Guess I should have read thru the whole post again, just made a quick reply from the email notification sorry!

c10addict · 10-22-2008, 08:23 AM

Nice score!! If i were you I would put that in the corner and throw a tarp over it until you get Killer done! You have put a lot of time and effort in to it and its getting really close! I want to see you finish one! When I was building my 68 I bought a 66 Nova... I wanted to rip it apart so bad but knew I wouldn't finish my truck... It was hard but YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Spray-Bomb · 10-22-2008, 10:43 AM

Grendel, I plan to use MegaSquirt

suville, thanks... The funny thing is I hit a link in a thread last night that brought me to one of his threads on that forum

c10addict, Dont worry, Its a DRAG RACE ONLY truck so Its more important for me to have Killer on the road so I have something to drive

I only painted it so it wouldnt rust

BACKYARD88 · 10-22-2008, 12:20 PM

Hrm, I don't know about you

Spray-Bomb · 10-22-2008, 02:33 PM

I dunno Mike, looks like the bug is biting you too

lyrikz · 10-22-2008, 06:23 PM

Your broke, and you go and buy this? ahaha, You are addicted.

Cool looking thing.

Spray-Bomb · 10-22-2008, 06:26 PM

Spray-Bomb · 10-22-2008, 06:43 PM

dieselarmy13 · 10-28-2008, 11:01 PM

Don't know how I missed this one. Pretty sick!

Spray-Bomb · 10-28-2008, 11:14 PM

Thanks, I cant wait till I get a chance to get it running
But for right now it gets to sit & wait, while I work on Killer

drivethechevy · 10-28-2008, 11:25 PM
