    V8 TT Pinto

    Here are a couple of pictures of my Pinto as the the twin turbo's were being mocked up with the front end removed. Twin 58mm TO4E 60 trims with .68 A/R turbine housings and P trim wheels.

    Re: V8 TT Pinto

    Thanks guys! It hasn't been on the dyno yet but i'm sure its an easy 550+ horsepower on pump gas with 10lbs of boost. My trip to the local track netted a 11.66 at 118mph letting off the pedal twice to keep it pointed in the right direction and that was only at 9lbs of boost. I have enough room in the turbos to support 850-900hp but the '95 roller block 351w will only last to about 800 with a good tune. Tens should be more than doable at 10lbs of boost on pump gas. (92 octane) I'd like to build a Duratec to about 500hp to stuff in it, better on fuel, ALOT cooler running and way more room in the engine compartment!

    well I found out what happened to the car guys. my friend ron bought it and has just run a 9.96 in the 1/4 mile this past weekend. the car is a blast and a handful to drive. ron is really enjoying it.

    new turbos have been purchased and the car is expected to run in the 8 second range this coming season. it is a pure beast and still street driven .
