I have searched and searched and asked around... Looking for an entry level 2.6 pulling turbo... I am a drag racer and want to try hooking to sled. Was looking a simple S466 but was told I will need something custom to be competitive. The local pulled here are united pullers and if I recall use ppl rules? Anyth thoughts? Thanks!
2.6 Pulling turbo help
- Thread starter DMAX497
- Start date
Anywhere from 1-2k for a good charger. I pasted the rules below.
22. The vehicle is limited to a 2.6 inducer bore single turbocharger. The compressor wheel must protrude into a 2.6” bore for 1/8”. The inlet will be measured using a 2.605 inch plug, the plug must not be able to enter the inducer bore. A stock map width enhancement (MWE) groove must be inside neck area where intake cover is measured. No MWE groove will be allowed that has a width greater than .200”. All provisions allowing air into the wheel other than via the bore and the MWE groove are prohibited. The vehicle driver will be responsible for making compressor wheel accessible for tech personal to measure bore and be able to inspect compressor wheel. All primary blades must protrude into the bore.

But then it says this for new ppl rule change - 21. The turbocharger is smooth faced intake housing, limited to a 3.0” inlet, (no map ring) with all air entering through the 3.0” intake opening. Intake wheel must protrude 1/8th inch inside of opening.

Are you planning on running it in the valley or remote mount?
Because a lot of the HX60 and GT47/55 turbos are really hard to fit in the valley without hacking up the fire wall. You probably want a S475 turbo with a clipped 2.6 wheel.

This would be good turbo.

A S475/87 T4 2.6 turbo might be a better option for you if you have a tight converter. Mark from Danville or Jeb could build you what you want. I would try and talk to the class rep. About the turbo rules to see if you can still run a 2.6 with map groove or if you can only run a smooth bore turbo.

Also worth noting that Rich is very handsome and his truck has always been very competitive so you know the thing works.
If you are by chance running a 475 in your twin set up you could have some one make you a non map grove cover for it and run it as a 3.0 smooth bore...just a thought, save ya some $$ if your not looking to get deep in a turbo..
that's my turbo zack posted for sale if you don't go the route caleb mentioned pm me id like to move this thing
