Twin Turbo/Supercharged Z source found here in LA
 
FWIW, maybe it can be of some benefit to you guys in the ZR1 community.
Doing a pretty trick twin turbo install on a 91, has a white Z with a belt driven SC setup. Have to check with Dave to post his info, but I'm sending Tom (shop owner) a link. Hope it helps someone. pm me for his # til I get the green light from MOM

Didn't have my camera handy, he said he'd send me some I could post. The 91 that was in there was getting put together in hopes of winning some 0-200-0 run. Guy has sunk a TON of $$ in the thing, should be pretty wicked, they are shooting for the 1000hp mark.

I'll have to see if he wouldn't mind, said he may click off a few to show it off and send them to me.

I have heard plenty of rumors about SC'd ZR-1's, but have never seen one.

Looking forward to more on this story.:happy1:

:cheers:

Did he say the price for the TT setup? some of those pipes look awfully low

Re: Twin Turbo/Supercharged Z source found here in LA
 
I don't know the price on the TT setup, they are doing a lot of other things to the car. I know he's spent over 60 on the car so far, that's all the info I have. A twin whipple setup would be sweet! Imagine how that would sound winding the the gears, not to mention the appearance. LS7 what? :mrgreen:
Threw some more pics up later last night...

Re: Twin Turbo/Supercharged Z source found here in LA
 
I still can't find the turbo in those pics. The second set gives a better idea of the layout.

Similar to the others. I think if you powdercoated or jet hot coated his pipes they would look sweet. Not sure I like the idea of the welding to the air horn though.

That drivers side pipe that goes back to the intercooler is very low...below the frame...

Re: Twin Turbo/Supercharged Z source found here in LA
 
Think some of the pipes are still in the "roughed out" stage, if it will stay like that I don't know. Wish he could get pics of the turbo and headers, looked very well put together IMO.
A twin whipple setup with a CNC intake base would run about 20k+- start to finish with Ed Wright tuning it. That would be a jaw dropping setup. I need this!
Please make your donations to Ron's Hot Rod fund :mrgreen:

Seems to be a rather dead thread...... :confused:

Re: Twin Turbo/Supercharged Z source found here in LA
 
I'd imagine the airhorn setup would eliminate ant chances of a duct collapsing or getting too hot. Kind of like that fabbed up look...Pure race :thumbsup:
Now, can someone sport me 20 g's for a twin whipple setup?
Willing guinea pig here. :mrgreen:
