I never rely on luck.

I have done it before on less rigid engines. Things will always go wrong, it was my job before I retire to make things go wrong less.

But this is something new, so I will just cross my fingers.

that thing will be f-ing sick. on that big an engine, i would think twins would be more than enough, but as you said, you want to be different...with 4 turbos, you'll certainly be top dog...unless your neighbor has a Veyron

how are you planning to put all that power onto the ground?

Rear end will be 315/35/17 rubbers I got from Ebay.

The differential is Dana 44 with 4.11 gears from a C4 Vette. I hope that it will not break. I used heavy duty square bars for the torque arm of the differential.

Stopping it will 4 disc on all side from a C4 Vette with hydroboost assist.
I reckon another 6 months to finish the project because I am doing the roll cage and further reinforcing the body. Baka pumilipit.

Quad-turbo V8. Interesting

You plan to make this a drag racer or one of those 200mph long-range cruisers like I've seen in the Silver State classic?

With the 4.11 gears sitting at the rear end now, it will be a good drag car. But I'd rather use it as a cruise so back to ebay for 3.0/3.25 gears.

These are the wheels and tires I got from Ebay.

They are Vredestein 275/40ZR17's AND 315/35ZR17 tires. The Vredestein tires are designed in Europe where high performance cars must handle the challenges of the high speed Autobahn. They are speed rated at "Y" for up to 186 MPH!

The front wheels are 17" x 9" (+24mm with 5.95" backspacing) and for the rear 17" x 10.5" (+27mm with 6.9" backspacing). I opted for the all-Chrome wheels.

Thanks for the clarification sir turbo

So before turbocharging, kelangan pala muna heavy duty internals. What about supercharging? Which is cheaper? kuripot kasi ako kahit nangangarap lang

Sorry Double posts.

Yes you have to have heavy duty rods, pistons, even 4 bolt bearing caps.

Yong Supercharger na ginamit ko kay Jack Roxas, $180 lang. Kasama na ang intercooler at mga pipes. Convert ko na lang sya ng side-mount, instead of top-mounted directly to the intake manifold. Tapos naglagay na lang ako ng 8 inch drive pulley at 3 inch blower-driven pulley. Gagawa lang airbox.

Laki ng kamurahan kesa sa Paxton/Progear centrifugal blower. Naka Roots type ka pa.

Wait ka, ang susunod ko sa 396 Hi-compression 68 camaro ko ay isang 6-71 Blower na 350. Makina lang ang gagawin ko. Wala pang donor car. Dapat yung CROSS RAM ang susunod ko, kaso nabili yung Z-28 Cross ram set-up ko. Hehehe.
