V12-Biturbo
Court Ordered: SpeeDriven Management (Step inside to see the REAL 1001 + HP pkgs)





Marcin of SpeeDriven has created the ultimate new Billet Garrett pkgs, ALL utilize the Latest Garrett Dual Ball Bearing Turbo's, they're leaps & bounds ahead OF what was available a couple yrs ago when JC's (Soulsearchers SL600 was built) these NEW gt30's NOW FLOW more than what's on JC's SL & should easily make 700+ on 91 Pump. The LATEST gt35r's are in whole NEW league

The TOP OF THE LINE UTILIZES THE gt3582r's (Just 1 of these new elite Turbo's is capable of around 600 HP so X 2) It will easily make 800+ RWHP on 91 Pump gas @ ONLY 20 PSI... 110% w/OUT A DOUBT it will be Eclipsing the MI 1001 HP badge, on 100-109 ECU Race tune & lil' more boost!

Milder pkgs will be offered in anywhere between new gt28 - gt30's turbo's..

But Marcin wants to keep CONSERVATIVE W/EXPECTED new RWHP levels hence the ANARCHY-MI nomenclature, a 1st as far as I know (Roman Numerals MI = 1001 HP)

ALL the NEW kits will be available for the 600/65 V12 BITURBO models. The kits will include brand new MUCH larger SS Turbo Manifolds & Down Pipes, Larger Intercoolers, CAI, BOV's ECU/TCU etc... BEST of ALL the kits are being made to Bolt right up w/ZERO cutting/welding involved. Can be used w/or without cats or 200-300 cell Race Cats!

Trans upgrades will be mandatory for the Big-Boy kits, & SpeeDriven will be offering/selling everything neeeded for install (Though we may see another thread from JC once he upgrades to the NEW generation gt3582r's IE 12-1300 HP Trans upgrade lol)

I'm posting ALL this as I'm NEXT IN LINE AFTER Widebody builds complete For the FULL Big-BOY kit GT3582r's & ALL supporting mods& by then ALL these parts will go into FULL production. Now onto a few integral pix! these are on a 65 motor

These pix have the NEW gt3076r's

I was wondering how long it woud take someone to make an exhaust manifold to accommodate a different turbo. Awesome!

turbo technology is ridiculous, a few years back power like that could only be had from a giant diesel turbo the size of a dinner plate with lag to match, nice work!

Oh no we are still doing the CNG project, but this would be a little better upgrade for the project! !

I don't think the Garrett GT turbos will spool quicker than TiAL A series turbos...that's why a lot of guys with GT35s switched over to the TiAL setup...at least with Porsches...

What's the lead time? Thought the bottleneck was getting the actual turbos for the kit? Either way, I want to be next on the list

Am I cofused or are those external Wastegate? Looking at the pictures again, seems like they are internal, but I don't quite understand how they vent exhaust?

i tried to look over the pictures again and I don't see anywhere on the manifold that would carry the wastegate, if it is internal it isn't like anything I've ever seen, but it could be possible these pictures were taken before they welded on the flange for it. I really miss my tial 44mm wastegate on my old dsm, that thing scared people all the time, and the ricer within me would love to see an external dump on a v12, the sound would be so killer

Problem with MB was never power...it's the weight and traction...

if you really wanna go fast go with GTR or Porsche... enjoy the MB for high speed comfy traveling GT duty and boulevard cruising ....the SL55 is perfect for that and with the top down on nice days its a great ride...

The exhaust manifold is different on this setup than on Soulsearcher's car. I mean SS'manifolds lool more like NA engine Headers. Those look too much like the stock deisgn, wich is reputed to be a bottleneck... Thoughts ?

Thhis looks like somewhat of a hybrid, due to space restrictions, you need to hag a somewhat log style manifold, but this is much more tubular in design with larger runners. It would be ideal to have equal length runners, but this would be a he'll of a challenge under our hoods. On a turbo car the gains of equal length aren't as important as long as the runners and collectors are well designed for flow.

They might flow 3 times better, but 3 times the size would be huge. I am sure there is a formula I learned in college on why that is, but that was long ago
