Turbocharging a 383!?

I have a 383 crate enginge coming soon and I was thinking about turbocharging the bitch! I dont think that there is a turbokit for a 383 out there so I might have to go with a custume turbo kit and thats where I get stuck. I dont know what parts I would need to put a turbo kit together. Is there anybody out there that can help me?
All replies will be appreciated

That would be friggin dope but I don't think there are specific turbos out for a certain ci. of an engine.

a turbo for a small block would work just fine, there is someone in this forum who is doing that very same thing to a 3rd gen. his name slips me right now, geez i hate brain farts...

Unless someone else is doing it, that would be me. Infact I'm twin turboing a 383. If you want a kit Gale Banks makes one. It includes everything from intake manifold, exhaust manifold, turbo's ducting and all that good stuff, it's a pretty penny though. It's all chrome too, looks good.

I personaly am going to get everything but the intake, I'm using a holley stealth ram.

It's a retarded set up. Just supercharge it and have real muscle. Why do you want a camaro sounding like a turbo civic ?


Ps - Trading in my 2k4 Mazda 6 for the 2k6 turbo 275hp 2.3 AWD Mazda 6.

Are you shitting me... sounding like a honda civic? :iceslolan no chance in hell a camaro could sound like a honda civic...

i didn't know u were doing it. Ridge Runner is who i was thinking about, he is putting a turbo 383 in a third gen

LOL you have got to be kidding me... A turbocharger setup will make more power at the same boost levels.

the only way he's make his camaro sound like a turbo civic is if he puts a turbo'd 4-banger in his car.

I've never heard a turbo v-8 except those crappy trucks so I don't know. I do know though that just for the exhaust set ups they are 550+ a set. It seems like a bigger waste of money than to do a blower set up or something.

I seen ones that were rated like 100 HP for under 2G's.

I'll try to find my mathmaticle numbers somewhere and post them, but with the heads I'm using, the cam I'm using, pistons, bla bla bla, with twin turbos on my 383 at 14lbs ob boost I'm looking at just over 1000hp...hmmmm yeah I'll take it.

just over 1000hp...

pshh, that's nothing, i'll get more out of the turbocharged honda engine i'm gonna swap in my camaro :p

Spray the motor! shoot a 125-150 shot on it. If you have money for a custom turbo do that. But Spray is the way to go. YOu put the pressure on the motor when you want too, not when the turbo spools or the motor is turned on(super charger) NOS is cheap, refilling can get you in the long run though

Do what you want man. I have seen a QUAD turbo set up on a heavily modded 4th gen. It was a beast, to say the least.

i once saw some pics of a guy who put 8 turbos on a '57 chevy. i heard it ran like shit too...

Well the quad turbo setup I saw was insane. I dont mean insane I mean INSANE. This thing really hauled ass.
