Question Bw S400 And S480 Turbo

What stall convertor is recommended to spool these turbos? I have heard nothing but great things about these turbos in general, and nothing on stall recommendations.

I have a built TH400 -w- trans brake, ArtCarr 4500 stall already. Will this stall be ok, or lack there-of?

On a side note: I'm in the process of doing a single turbo set up on my 64 Buick Skylark. It's a Chevy 350, blow through project that I hope to complete in the next couple months. Naturally asperated it went 11.2x, I'm shooting for low 10's-9's with some boost, I want it to be very streetable.

I already have the twin turbo headers, they will soon be modified into a single turbo set up and an RJC Mega Cooler to keep the ambient tempatures down. I'll be taking out the agressive cam that's in the car now and put in a custom blower cam, and swapping out the 456 gears for some 355's.

My goal is 700-750 rwhp. Thanks in advance guy's for any help, suggestions you can give me.

That sounds sick, I hope we get some pictures in the V-8 section.
Ask Jose from Forced Inductions about the stall requirements on that turbo.
He is JZ 97 SS 1500 on this board.
He does a lot of work with the Borg Warner Airwerks stuff.

Thumbs up

John thanks for the heads up, I'll contact him here shortly.

I'll post some pictures soon as I get started, before and after pics. Right now I'm just trying to get all the parts and come up with a good game plan. Combination is everything as you already know, then the fab work will begain

Kinda nervous as this is my first V8 turbo project though....I guess like everything, it's based on trial and error

For a full T6 S80, then yeah that stall will be more then enough. If you want only 700-750rwhp, then you can always opt for the ST80 series which will spool much faster and also has a easier to fit 3.5" DP and is a T4 flange.

Thanks for the response, gonna email you last night but the wife ordered me to put the boys to bed. Yea, Yea, Yea she wears the pants, but at least she supports my addiction to boost

Well, I will most likely get the ST80 due to it being more of a street car.

How much are these turbo's going for right now? and what is the HP rating, is it capable of 800-900 rwhp if I want to get really agressive later on.

Thanks!
Ray

Ray just send me a PM. I will get you all the info you need. As for the ST80 doing 800+rwhp. Yes it will handle it, as the unit will outpower any of the GT42 series and is inline with the GT45-80R. Here is a post of one on a LS1 that was fully built with a auto tranny.

LS1TECH - ST80 vs 76GTS some tad bit of info....more will be coming
