Please pictures Callaway turbos

[jtjerry]

Hi
I am new there. I have 35 th anniversary vette.
Is there someone who has pictures of Callaway TT vette? I am interested for pictures of undercar. How they placed turbos, pipes how its diameters and how they do oil pump system that pump oil from turbos back to engine (turbos are too low for gravity oil back)
Is someone has that pictures please post its there or send me mail: tonie@box43.pl
Or put there link
Thanks

Welcome!
There are (actually were) 7 of the white 35th anniv Twin Turbo's built by Callaway ...3 automatics and 4 sticks... But one was destroyed and another is well on it's way to that status
As far as under car pics...I am not sure but you could try the Callaway photo archives on this site or, when some of the guy's do exhaust or oil changes, maybe they will snap them and post.
Are you going to try to construct your own twin turbo kit? If so, you may be better off simply buying a Twin Turbo Callaway and parting way's w/ what you have now... Folks have tried to build there own and don't get me wrong, If thats your intention, go for it but, there were over 1000 parts different to a Callaway TT than stock...

Also, check the website of www.callawaycars.com

thanks!
Yes I will try make turbo on my vette. I want only small boost so will not touch engine. I think 5 psi will make me happy. I think 5 psi will not hurt engine since supercharges (vortech, paxton) has 6 psi in stock. Do not want mega power. Just 100 hp will be good. I was thinking about single turbo set up but there is a lot work to make single in vette. Two small (maybe t3) in place of pre cats will be not so hard, I think. So I try learn more about how they are mounted and how is made that oil sump system.
Yes I konow there are more simplest ways make 100 hp from my vette but I live in Poland and there job is cheap but parts form USA are more than two times expensives (taxes ect...).

Custom fabricating a turbo setup for your Vette seems like a huge amount of work for 100hp. Why don't you just rebuild it normally aspirated with good performance parts? You should be able to get around 350-400hp for about the same money and less work.

Also, is nitrous oxide an option for you in Poland? That's an easy and cheap way to get 100hp when you need an extra boost of power.

Jerry,

Click the Gallery Tab at the top of this page and go into the 1984-1996 -----> Callaway section. Check there.

Callaway,
it is hard to explain. Imagine that everything from USA in Poland cost you (price) x 2.5 factor. That is first. Second, work and job is cheap in Poland. So I will need two small turbos, two small IC (maybe used ones from audi 2.2 turbo) and of course a lot work. I plan use stock headers, stock engine and stock fuel system with fmu form vortech. And boost about 5 psi.
IC in front where are headlights (I removed lately coolant recovery reservoir, so right side is free for IC, left side will be soon (I do not need evaporative canister and can relocate vacuum reservoir)
The only problem is how mount turbos and oil it properly cause return line will be belowe oil pan. For that I need pictures, please...
When I will have founds I can rebuild engine for more boost. But that is far future rather... Now only small boost.
Jerry

Rob, it that section in this forum is only monster ZR1 TT, no "ordinary" callaway turbo system

but ...
As I see on that pictures on that twin turbo ZR1 vette there is no any oil sump pump, I think. Oil from that turbos flows by gravity back to sides of oil pan, isn't?
Just one picture (ONE turbo show on it) should be rotated by 180 degrees
That holes in front crossmember looks cool to

I have two photos of a Callaway's engine setup on my web site:

and

Sorry, no photos from underneath the car...

and here is a photo of my car at the tree just before he took me out

hi
really nobody has that pictures
Today I was under my car and saw that in drive side there is enough place for small turbo, but passenger side is another story, there is starter and very little place.
Please, pictures

The starter is relocated with the installation of the passenger side turbo. A gear adapter is used to invert and move the starter.

Here are some photos of my 88 Callaway twin turbo coupe:

Has anyone noticed the intake on that callaway that Mako posted It has a miniram on it and the rams horn does not have the extra injectors. Interesting with that intake you should be able to take it up to 6000 rpm . I wonder whos car that is ?

 

[90Callaway]

I had not looked at the links Mako posted until now. That is the same car that has an engine picture on TPIS's website. Mako's pictures are MUCH better!

It is interesting that there are no holes in the rams horn for the secondary injectors. I wonder if he somehow got a blank from Callaway or that is a custom made one?

I know that the TPIS pic was posted on CF around one year ago. Stan A indicated that he and David F had some interaction with the guy on his configuration. I think the owner also posted saying it was his car. Seems to me that he was making somewhere in the mid 500's on rwhp and had much tuning to do on it. I think it was running way rich. I believe he's running aftermarket engine management such as the FelPro FAST unit. That would definitely be the way to go! There have been so many advances in computerized fuel injection since our cars were built. I'd love to go to a system like this with properly sized primary injectors and trash the microfueler and secondary injectors. Our plenums were not designed to run "wet" and the microfueler method is very imprecise with no sequential fuel management capabilities. I just might... keeping all the original parts for the future.

 

[callaway4fun]

miniram

If you look closely you can see that he has two different sets of fuel rails He must be runniing something like the ZR1 set up with two sets of injectors . if you look at the ramshorn you can see that it has an angle in it ,ours do not. I think I will give tpis a call and see what the story is.

 

[SurfnSun]

The guy's name is turbocat on CF. I called TPIS about it a long time ago...they have no knowledge of the car. He does have 16 injectors and a BOV on the rams horn.

 

[90Callaway]

Ok... now I've got it. I never made the connection that that was turbocat's car. I don't think I've seen him post in quite a while on CF... not that he did much anyway. I think the last thing I saw from him was about Dymag wheels and that was over the summer.

Josh is right. I remember the discussion and TPIS just used the picture because it's a mini ram but they don't know a thing about the car... Go figure.

I was able to cobble this together about his setup:

Modded TT with about 550-600 rwhp. 800 hp bosch fuel pump, stock fuel lines, fmu, duel injector system - 19lb Ford injectors that run all the time controlled by stock computer. 36 lb Ford injectors come on under boost controlled by Callaway microfueler. Both sets are high impediance injectors.

He runs it as high as 6500rpms at the track. He was having some trouble sorthing out A/F ratio problems at WOT. It seemed to lean out.

I think it could be done with 8 large (properly sized) primary injectors and a FAST Sequential fuel management setup.

That is interesting how Turbo Cat uses the MicroFueler to kick in the addl injectors...
Bring up Car # 89-010, I wonder how much R&D went into that one?
