Im puttin the truck on the back burner for a while..Going to pick up an s10 hopefully today and the plans are running a stock 5.3 with an ls6 cam and puttin 2 small turbos on it..as i know nothing about turbos. What size turbos should i use? im tryin to keep it as cheep as possible just tryin to follow parishes path to 9s..the truck is a late 90s model s10 thats gotta pretty good body on it, im gonna strip it all down and make it as light as possible..

 

I would go with one turbo!
You will find out why when you start pricing 2 of everything like:
Wastegates
Oiling supplies
silicone
etc.etc.etc.

I would get something like a 76mm.

 

the only reason why i want twins is i dont want to deal with makin a cross over pipe..plus twins would look killer..but im still kickin around on how im gonna go about on the turbos..how much boost is jim runnin on the fairmont?..its gonna be strictly race gas..maybe some funny gas off the line to get them spoolin

 

some one might explain just for sample these numbers garrett air research to4 t04 turbo a/r 40 a/r .50..im just lookin around on ebay seein what i can find

 

CROSS OVER PIPE, thats the easiest part of the build!
im not sure, i know he has maxed out the MP-70 though.

 

i know it would be easy to build thats no problem..i just think it looks better havin 2 turbos haha

 

Jim's running 15psi on a MP T-70 turbo with a .96 A/R exhaust housing. That turbo is about $550-600 brand new. Same turbo I have, only a .68 A/R exhaust housing. I gave $350 used for mine

 

FWIW, a stripped S10 won't need 2 turbos to hit 9s. Especially if you're trting to do it cheap.

 

what would it take to hit 9s with a 5.3

 

Might wanna ask this guy for advice since your wanting twins so bad!
