3.0 Turbocharger options
Hey everyone, I am currently undergoing the ultimate rebuild (3L) and am trying to figure out what the best turbo would be. Now, having boost kick in a couple thousand RPMS sooner would be great, but I want this car to have bigger ***** than a figgin elephant! I guess mainly, I am concerned about all out power. And also, what do you guys think about running my current HR stage4 MAF on this motor?

Check with Turbo Tim at <a href="http://www.speedforceracing.com" target="_blank">www.speedforceracing.com</a> he has some VERY LARGE turbo's.
Some sort of stand alone system will most likley be a good move.

Turby,
The motor on my 3L turbo is being installed today. I went with the Garret 60-1, stage 3 #8 otside ... seems to be what people use on these engines.
I have upgraded from a stage 4 MAF to a TEC II. I will let you know how it all plays out next week.

Beab,
The TO4E with 60 trim is only going to support about 380-400 at the wheels on a 3.0L at 18 psi or so. Ask me how I know;^) If Tecart wants more then that, he will have to go with the 60-1 or something even bigger.

If you do not mind my asking, what are you doing with your stage 4 MAF? Send me an email if you would be interested in selling it. Thanks.

I noticed that you are in the Boston area. You may want to cantact Jon Milledge (Marshfield, MA)as he builds complete race motors for these cars. I cannot tell for sure, but it looks as though the yellow car on your signature is a turbo'd 968 that appeared in Excellence some time back. If this is the car, Milledge was hired to build that motor. From a 3L motor w/8 valves 500 H/P is well within reach. With a 16 valve motor 600+ H/P with moderate boost well within reach. Best of luck.

I have heard of that guy, and I think even read an article or two on him......my motor is bieng built by two guys localy I luckily stumbled into a few times and finally let them do some work. They are two independants who built thier first 3L in 92' and have been driving/working on 951's exclusivly since they came out. Yes in 86'. They have since become friends of mine, and do all the work basicly for fun. <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> It seems they also have the 88 951S (silver rose)market cornered up here.........They have FIVE. Boggles the mind huh?

Brian,
Yes, my clutch problem was resolved. I was, an still using a clutch from Worldwide Motorsports (Woody Weiss). The clutch turned out to be fine (not even completely lapped in. The problem was the arm for the throw-out bearing. I was using a pressure plate from a 935 and to fit the bearing, Jon had to remove some metal from the arm.

I replaced the pressure plate with a unit from K.E.P. Coincidentally, they are 10 minutes from my home. So, KEP pressure plate (stage 2 w/2800 lbs. clamping force) and a clutch from Worldwide Motorsports. No slippage, yet. Just a little tough on the street. By the way, Centerforce said they do not have a unit currently, that would hold.
