Just wanted to let you guys know that there are twin turbo manifold set which are avaialble to ship. The below text is from an email that I have been using to respond to many wuestions about the 350 SBC twin turbo packages from Gaqle Banks Engineering.
The question that I have had answered relates to the availability of just the manifolds.
Here's a reply from Banks' I got this morning..Plus the other email with more FAQ.
If you want the manifold kits I have them IN STOCK now ready for
shipment!...List price is $900 for standard port heads.we are also releasing
a style of manifolds to work on the newer LS1 Fbodys and Corvettes soon as
well,but I do not have a part # or price on that as of yet.Other components
such as the wastegates,turbos etc will be avail as part #'s separately with
pricing but as of now I have not been given that information as of yet.
The kit will fit in an 3rd gen Fbody as its original design that we made
back in the 80's was based off of those cars.This new kit with the
additional of its fuel injection capabilities will allow the kit to be
adapted in a much broader application range,such as trucks,Corvettes,hot
rods,etc.etc.
if you have any further questions let me know,but i can ship manifold kits
now!
Hi,
It's Damian from Torque and Chrome. I wanted to let you know
what I was doing with the twin turbo setups from Gale Banks,
and how I will be getting as much information from Banks as I can regarding the parts.
3 top FAQ that I am trying to get answered:
"What other modifications do I need to do to my TPI Stock engine"
Banks includes in the information on there systems, that to operate
"seemlessly" is the addition of this multiport system.
HOLLEY COMMANDER 950 MULTI-POINT FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
These are complete systems engineered to provide all components and hardware
needed for your custom installation. The intake manifold, billet throttle body,
billet fuel rails, injectors and related miscellaneous parts are
factory-assembled and tested prior to packaging. Holley takes this extra step
in quality assurance to verify the performance, quality and integrity of the
system.
Holley Commander 950 System Benefits: - Vastly improved fuel distribution and
cylinder filling; - Excellent throttle response, drivability and fuel economy;
- Impressive torque and horsepower gains over standard carbueration; - Superior
idle, warm up and part-throttle driving characteristics.
Commander 950 Software: The Holley software included with the Commander 950 is
Windows-based (3.1, ‘95 or ‘98) and is much easier to use than software that is
DOS based. This software enables the user to program system parameters in real
time. Changes are instantly sent to the 950 Commander ECU or “on the fly” for
immediate evaluation. All sensor data is viewable from the fuel map screen. The
spark and fuel maps can also be viewed in a graphical form, which helps to
better visualize the data. Sample fuel maps are included to help you get
started. Fine-tuning, however, is required in all installations for best
operation. A data acquisition feature is included for evaluating on-track
performance.
Commander 950 System Features: These stand-alone systems are pre-assembled at
the factory and contain all components necessary for installation, including a
detailed installation guide:
Commander 950 ECU - control functions are accessible with supplied Holley
software and fully programmable with a personal laptop computer with WIN 3.1,
’95, ’98, NT.
Throttle bodies available in the following styles:
1000 CFM billet w/4-bbl square bore and 5” air horn;
2000 CFM billet w/Dominator flange.
Fits the following Chevrolet engines:
Small block w/23-degree standard port heads (early & late);
Small block w/Vortec cylinder heads;
Big block oval port heads;
Big block rectangular port heads – including tall decks.
Sensors - include throttle position, MAP, engine and air temperature, exhaust
oxygen and idle air control motor.
Wiring harness - designed for “plug-in” installation; temperature-insulated and
weather-sealed.
Separate systems available for naturally aspirated, forced induction (up
to 14.7 psi) and forced induction (14.7-29.4 psi).
Adjustable timing - is available with any of the following distributors:
Any distributor that has a “locked” mechanical advance and a magnetic pick up;
Any distributor that is set up to work with a crank trigger (either magnetic or
Hall Effect)
The Commander 950 ECU’s adjustable timing feature will also work with any CD
ignition that does not have timing control (such as HP Annihilator, P/N
800-100) if used with one of the above-listed distributors.
Base fuel maps available at the Holley Web site. http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/TechServ/TechInfo/950MAPs.html
Commander 950 Engine/Hardware Compatibility: 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines;
Can operate as a “speed density” system; uses engine vacuum to sense engine
load;
Can operate in Alpha-N mode; uses throttle position as indication of engine
load;
Engines with wide fluctuations of manifold vacuum at idle due to radical cams.
1-, 2-, or 3-bar MAP sensors; naturally aspirated engines; forced induction
engines.
GM/Chrysler-style IAC motor - idle stabilization and control;
Knock sensor; - Will operate in either open or closed loop;
A closed loop system uses an oxygen sensor to monitor and adjust the
fuel/air ratio for optimum performance.
Port fuel injectors; - Controls up to 8 high impedance injectors / up to 4 low
impedance injectors;
Throttle body fuel injection systems;
Throttle body with progressive linkage; Throttle body with 1:1 linkage.
Fuel control for: - Initial cold start and warm-up; - Acceleration enrichment;
Start-up enrichment; - 16 x 16 fuel map.
Controls CD ignition timing; - Holley Annihilator ignition;
Programmable RPM scale.
Programmable fuel pump control.
ECU size is 5.5” x 4.75” x 2.0”.
"Can I purchase just the manifolds?"
Torque and Chrome is currently finding out how hard it is going to be to get
just the manifolds. If I am able to secure that they will ship quickly enough
(21 days) then I will do that as well. Please note that if the manifolds go by
themselves, the list is going to get bis as to who's getting them first. I
believe that there were issues the last time Banks' offered this setup, so
we'll all be finding out together.
"What about downpipes, and connecting the system to an exhaust?"
I am going to have to find that answer out as well. At least I will get a good
idea on how to do it better than others. I will let you know what I find
out...
Allright!
I hope this will at least let you know that we are working on the answers. The
systems are being advertised, we will wait to see what shakes out.
I will more than likely post what happens with this offer on a page you can
reach from our Gale Banks web page. That should happen over the weekend.
Thanks again for asking,
