tips for turbo engine spec

[Rocket Ron]

Hi all

Just picked up a CB  turbo / efi cb set up and I'm looking for some help with the engine spec..

I would like to use a pair of the JPM heads as I've been impressed with the cars running these and they seem to have more cooling area than most performance heads,  but I'm looking for some help with rods, timing gears, compression ratio, cam, turbo size etc .

I have a 2276 with IDA's which was built for me in my bug and I'm real happy with. I'm told that this size of engine go together fairly easy, so I'm thinking of this sort of size engine again

It will be going into the ghia I've got and this will be fulll street weight plus cage. The ghia got irs out back so I'm looking to run a uprated bus box.

My goal would be to run a 11.99. What sort of hp and set up do I need for this.

I think the problem is going to be lack of grip as I'm limited to the size of wheel I can get out back.

Any tips or pointers for a turbo virgin

You would need to be looking at about 300hp to guarantee 11s,given the way turbo cars launch and you have to shift the thing.I have PM you some more

You don't need any turbo to run 11.99 with JPM heads!

You don't need any turbo to run 11.99 with JPM heads!

With a full weight ghia with cage,bus box,IRS and driver weighing about 2400lbs? you think?

 it should end up really drivable with sensible compression for english fuel and still run that with ease

Good read I've pm'd you back

i saw something like this where they took 1.5/8" from each side and fabed up some new shock mounts off the frame horns and then tied it together through the floor etc they go a 235 radial under a stock low light body using irs 

Ps just put a bid on a fk45

2400 lbs, that's heavy! If it is 2400 lbs I agree, you would need around 300 hp to get into the 11's with some margin.
