I made the decision to install twin garret remote turbos and the turbos arrived today. I have ordered the inter-coolers, and a gear drive oil return pump. I've also ordered a triple multi-gauge pyro, boost and trans oil temp. The cost so far is $1150.00 the dual 2 1/2 turbo back exhaust was quoted at 600.00 by a local shop. So materials should total bout 1800.00 when I'm done. I also plan to install an Amsoil bypass dual filter kit.
The garret turbos are capable of feeding enough air for about 225 hp @ 15 psi. which is more then I can expect a stock 6.2 to handle without engine work. I intend to turn down the boost using a common signal from the intake manifold/s.
Questions:
1. What is the maximum boost that I can expect to be able to supply without having head gasket problems with 23-1 compression. My banks turbo on my 84 stock pickup seems to max out at about 8 to 9 psi.
2. A.) I will have 2 ea 2" charge air pipes coming up from the inter-coolers, should they be merged prior to the manifold or is it Ok to leave them separated and deliver separate air flow to the each bank as the J manifold separates the air streams if I use a flat adapter plate on the manifold. Would this generate a possible power imbalance on the crank.
b.) Would there be an advantage to installing a hummer intake with the large common air chamber.
3.Will there be any reason to NOT use a crankcase oil catch can prior to the turbo, and will a 1/2 Line be large enough to provide sufficient crankcase ventilation.
4. I am thinking about placing a bypass filter in the line feeding the oil to the turbos, my thought here is supper clean oil to the turbos.. I have been unable to find a pressure drop # on the Amsoil bypass filter at 3 gpm, and if it plugged, would i loss turbo oiling or would it bypass the filter....
Well that's all the questions for now, I'll probably have others is I go. Once I get started I'll put up progress pictures as i go .
