Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

here is an updated pic of the engine bay. I had the engine rebuilt with .030 over forged pistons, Lunati turbo spec cam, new internals. I hogged out the original intake to accept a 2bbl Holley. I will be adding a HEI unit. I am really excited to fire it up soon.

Awesome!!! Cant wait to see it after the rebuild.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

The members from Argentina really get into the inline 6's. They simply can't afford the V8's they say. They have a race series down there that have turbo'd sixes.

Your project is very cool, can't wait to see and hear the truck after your finished as well.

We used pistons for a 307 small block in my 250 motor. 1.94 intake and 1.88 exhaust valves. It's just a lot of fun, and more so, it's not a V8

i wanna see some numbers. i mean it looks great sounds ok but lets see the goods. quarter mile....0-60...hp...tq... please man id like to see what all your hard work has done . congrats on a great build lets see some more.

Last week I started digging in the garage for the turbo I have been saving for my next 63 engine ....If it only makes 5-8 psi it should still make a 250 feel like a V8............maybe better...Keep us informed...

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

def nice, im building a 87 305 single turbo. i have long way to go but should have turbo on by fall. just not sure what software to use yet to tune. any suggestions?

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

i finished up the throttle wire cable pulley pivot system. I wanted to try to use the original gas pedal and firewall linkage. I fabbed up a bracket fastened to the carb stud with a pulley that acts as a pivot for the throttle linkage. It works well, moves smoothly, opens min. to max well with no play.

That's hawt. I want to turbo my 327, but this would work!

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

Nice project, I cant wait to do this to my 230 someday. Keep up the cool work!

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

I finally got a chance get a short video of the turbo attached and a short idle / rev. It sounds so much after the engine rebuild.

enjoy!

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

It will be interesting to see how much boost it makes and what it puts out HP wise .... do you have a boost retard on it ? if so who's is it ? thanks

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

I plan on locking the HEI out around the 20 degree mark. I have a AEM wideband coming, so some major tuning soon. Lockout for now. Possibly a BTM box in the future.

Too sweet...I love it!

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

That is cool

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video ** update
 

I am finally getting this thing tuned. I installed a HEI advance kit with the light weights and the strong springs. I set the timing to 12 deg and it is fully in at 25 deg. big thanks to TLOWE (inline turbocharging guru) for getting me in the right direction. I took it out and it is awesome. I have yet to push it or go WOT. I am trying to lower the boost to max out at 7psi. Here is a short vid of a drive by.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

Thats sounds awesome! Looking forward to seeing more.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

I'm smiling this morning after listening and watching your video! Great looking and sounding truck.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

Are you using any vacuum advance or just initial +mechanical to have all-in at 25*?

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

That thing is cool!!!

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

the total 25 degrees is : initial 12 plus 13 mechanical. I have the vacuum plugged. TLOWE has informed me to hook up the vacuum, it will help with cruising. I will mess with that later, I am having too much fun right now.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
 

Your truck is awesome! I have been tinkering with my 67 for over 2 years now and want to put a turbo on it. I have the turbo along with a clifford 4bbl intake and headers but not sure which direction to go. Your idea with the stock intake/exhaust look like a good alternative I hadn't even considered. Any updates? Keep up the great work. :metal: Subscribed

First time I've seen this thread. Your truck is very cool indeed!
