Anyone done or heard of a turbocharged small block Olds? I saw a post from someone asking about a twin turbo system but I'm not looking for anything that crazy

 

If so, any and all details about your build would be much appreciated, I'm weighing my options between having an NA monster built or doing a turbo and light mods instead.

Thanks all!

 

do it, dont base it off if anyone has turbo'ed an olds. if you build it right you can have power, driveability and be reliable.

 

Saw one on the dyno at Rocket Racing (1200 hp)
They may be able to help ???

A Chevy, Olds DX or stock SBO?

 

My copy of the Kings of Oldsmobile Power is old (2009), so there's probably better data on this engine available now. Top of the list is:
Russell Hunt
Dragster
6.59 s @ 205.91 mph
1870 lbs
1.04 60'
34.5x17 tire
Twin Turbo
Batten heads
397 ci using a 350N block

Gene Newton of Maine has a 1400 horse twin turbo NASCAR based engine in his 67' 442. Look it up on YouTube. It's Insanely awesome!

 

is that the red 67 that you dont seem to see to often? if so that is an awesome car

 

Yes that's the one! I'll be supercharging mine to hopefully get near his numbers

 

doesnt a guy named dave laurer have a pretty bad 76(year?) turbo cutlass? your doing a procharger right? ive kinda been following what your up too, pretty cool. cant wait to get back to work on my chassis car

 

Yes he has a BTR engine last I knew and was pushing that 4000 pound barge down the quarter in the mid 8s I believe!

 

Here's a turbocharged sbo

Laurer's car is a 74, I believe, and it is nitrous not turbo. I have seen it go 8.70.

The OP mentions "NA monster" and "turbo with light mods". The rods and pistons are too heavy in stock(ish) form. Any Olds engine built for power should have these 2 major components upgraded.
