Hello All.
Since everyone wants to stone me for my Chebby Gremlin, I thought Id
help a young new Gremlin owner with his 258ci project.(see I didnt 
try
and convert him, Brownie point for me, lol). Anyway, any links or www
sites you can give me on turboing the 258 or that 4.0 liter head swap
would be great. Thanks, Rod

I don't remember any one stoning you for using a chebby engine 
here
since I have been a member for over a year. Brien T. is the one for
4.0 and turbo deal. He's the man for that. "Doc"


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I'll give you a 'Point for your Brownie" Rod ! you and that GM 
luver of yours...........:)

Here is something from Jamie the Turbo Supplier.

The prices are Very Good & the Garret Turbos are the
workhorse of the Turbo field - plenty of parts at nice prices
if / when you wear the thing out ........ or want an upgrade part.

These Custom Turbos are built / based around the Turbo Buick
V6 Grand National Turbo - but way upscale from a stocker.

The other Items needed I've listed below this Letter.

B.T.

**
I can give you oil cooled only (my preference) same price.

The turbo is not rebuild but a custom turbo. There is no Hybrid 
stock,
they are all custom turbo. All internals are brand new, no recycle 
parts
in the shaft, turbine wheels, compressor wheels, 4 bearings and 
piston
rings. The turbo is balanced up to stage 3 (150,000rpm)! It can be
internal or no wategate.

Support from 300hp to 400hp
The price of .48 a/r turbine and a .50 compressor hybrid is $550. +
shipping 

The .48 stage 3 turbine with the same compressor hybrid is $595.
+ shipping 

The.48 stage 5 turbine with the same compressor hybrid is
$650. + shipping

Support 350hp to 500hp
The price of .63 a/r turbine and a .50 compressor hybrid is $595. +
shipping 

The .63 stage 3 turbine with the same compressor hybrid is $650.
+ shipping 

The .63 stage 5 turbine with the same compressor hybrid is
$695. + shipping

So let me know

---------------------------------------------------

For ECm controller - look for a Turbo Pontiac Sunbird ECm
- the '749 unit - should cost you no more than $45.00 
from www.car-parts.com .

To get it set to run your 258, join : 

 http://lists.diy-efi.org/mailman/listinfo/gmecm

Get the Efi Harness from a '91 - '92 Camero TPI EFi car.

Get a catalog free from www.Burnstainless.com

Get a 1999 or newer JEEP Intake Manifold with injectors /
rail / TB from a salvage yard.  

Join : www.strokers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - someone there will
get you a few names to call for salvage parts if you don't have
any luck .

You can use the 4.0 Head with the Turbo - or not - since
you won't be relying on the head to increase port charge
speed.

A BOV is subjective .  
Blow off Valves can be manual - set it at say, 7 lbs
for street / cast pistons - or if EFI and under 8.5:1 compression, 
you should be able to run
at least 12-14PSI of boost and hit 350+ HP.

I like Electronic controllers - so Boost can be set at 5 lbs.
for grocery getting = and 18lbs when Instructing Phart
Ricers in 'Table Manners' ..........

Another www. to join might be :  www.jyturbo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .

These guys buy 455cu.in. V8s out of junkyards & stick twin turbos
on their cast iron exhaust manifolds - and pressurize the carbs -
700HP+ and beat them unmercifully.  Strangely, they live - 
even with cast pistons.........true 'Heathens'.


The Camshaft recommended for 'mild Turbo' by CRANE  is
their '905 camshaft - for up to 4,500rpm+.
Use New Locks and Keepers & springs with the KIt.
Teflon valve guide seals .


The '905 cam makes your Torque curve 'Tight' and compacts your
strengths in a usable real world area - rather than like 6,500+rpms
and 3,200rpm spooling of the Turbo .......... a 'wtf' power band
good only for 'Kill' - you can spin 6k if you like with the '905 - 
but really won't need to in real life .
