opinions please

[omnious]

i was thinking of putting my old s70 turbo on my Dc intercooler log mani car, just wanted some opinions about this. i was thinking it might have too much lag. anyone?

I think it will be too much for the log manifold. If your installing an intercooler, its gonna be PITA to do so why not just install a later one piece intake?

because dc intercooled cars kick butt thats why. if you do do it let us know how it turns out. i've been thinking about upgrading my turbo for a while now.

turbovanman: this is my second car and just looking to make a few extra hp with it. the car already has the old school dc intercooler setup, just looking for some more horsies wich would be nice. i do have a spare s70 that i am not using. so i thought i'd ask to see if if would be much of a agin or if i am wasting time with that idea -Dave

Cool on the intercooler setup. Well in that case, go for it, what have to got to lose except time,

i think it would be to much turbo if you plan to keep the dc set-up.

The IC won't flow what a S70 will, so your only hurting spool up. I would go S60 first. Also the best thing you add to a DC IC kit is the intake. FAR better than a stock log, it actually has plenum. PORT IT! it is tough but cut down around the injector bung, lots to be had!!!!!!!!!!!! Also use a 52mm TB and GLHS overlay. Hard to such even stock T3 air through a 42mm straw.

i guess i never really thought of trying to really mod a log car. looks like this is a good time to start. i'd really like to find a rampage to start with instead of having 2 GLH's. even thou it is cool to own 2 silver glht's i might use it as a donor car when i find a decent ramp or a charger, until then i will just see what options i have in modding it as is. i have seen some pictures of a ported out dc log mani and it looks to open it up quite a bit. i am going to wait on that until i have a reason to pull the head off thou. i was thinking of porting out the exhaust mani and the intake mani at the same time. looks like i will have to watch e bay for the larger Tb for it. unless anyone knows where to get one from? i sure dont,. thanks -Dave

pope are you suggesting i use GLHS electronics and run a standard T2 52mm Tb?

Dave,
Is that the same type intercooler Todd has on his GLH? If so, I believe his car was good for 12's with the log.
