No problem man! Theres very few turbo mopar street cars out there so I'm happy to see another one! Twin GT45s is a lot of air! Whats all done to the 318? Whats your horsepower goal?
It's standard bore with a forged 340 crank forged H beam rods and forged flat top pistons and I've got a comp cams thumpr cam edelbrock performer intake with the divider cut out and a mighty demon 750 blow thru carb and home ported heads with double valvesprings I'm hoping for 800 hp but...
Thats a good foundation. My 4.8 made 570 to the wheels on 21lbs. My old 5.3 would have made over 600 at the same boost level. But that was with stock everything minus the cam. Twin gt45s will get you there but the lag will be pretty bad. You'd be better off with smaller turbos like the gt35s for more response and they cap out at over 1000whp.
I don't remember the last time I've heard the 361 engine mentioned . Though I had one in my 1960 Dodge 2dr ht. Matador. Goggle it. Mine was white. Pulled the 361 andistslled 61 413 from a Ney Yorker that engine was called A Golden Lion. It had a badge on the grill. A lot more fun to drive back in the late 60s by the way Subbed
@nightwrencherperformance ...did u ever consider running a 360 small block Mopar, since they are way more plentiful and easier to come by... basically the same displacement in a much smaller engine design
@ghostrt1608 originally I was going to go with a small block but I just really like the big block architecture. Big blocks are just a cleaner design but the smallblocks a way better bang for the buck both in engine upgrades and transmission selections.
I should have watched this sooner but I definitely love seeing stuff like this. I made one change to the dart after the dyno day and now it’s an animal. I gotta get a new video done for it and hopefully in April we can get the cars together for Spring Fling.
Nice power from a 361, had one in a 63-sport fury convertible back in the mid-sixties. My currant 66 Satellite was an original 361 car. Had a nice 74 Charger but gave it to my daughter, she still has it. Who kicked in your fender?
It's also not just peak power that matters the overall curve and how the power comes on greatly effects how it feels on the street. Torque also matters alot on the street. Of course gearing and power to weight ratio also matter alot.
You know I'm always moving forward 💪 I've been trying to get him to get out to the track but ever since he found out about the turbo, he's been real quiet😬
@@nightwrencherperformance in theory rpm kills pistons before load does, but then again these are 1962 pistons with zero intended performance implications.
Water/meth will make up for the lack of intercooler and probably allow you to take it out to 18-20 degrees of timing and pick up huge amounts of torque.
Shouldn't a big block with after market heads be making at least 450 to 500 hp N/A.....What compression are you running? Running a bigger Should open that big block up and make more hp.
The 361(5.9L)big block was at around 9.2:1. Factory it made 305hp or 225 to the wheels. After a cam swap and upgrades, the engine made 295whp. Final numbers were 485whp on 14psi which is a little low but if you check the following videos, the engine was already tired, tons of blow by, worn out cyls, etc. Now the engine has 7 broken pistons. Thats all she wrote.
@@nightwrencherperformance Oh no so it died on you that sucks....are you gonna rebuild that engine or go with a different engine altogether with the turbo?
@@nightwrencherperformance Honestly I would try and go with the newer hemi's like the 3rd gen if you want to stay with dodge but if not go with the LS engines the after market support is great for both engines and the LS engines you won't even to open up the bottom end to make big hp. Just get a LS 5.3 or a 6.0 cam headers and intake and put your turbo that you have on it....with a LS 5.3 or 6.0 and with your turbo you should be pushing 600/700 hp to the tires Especially when you put a big camshaft and good intake on it... ...you can look up on TH-cam a guy named (Richard Holdener) he does a lot of Dyno testing with almost every engine and combo you can think of but you could watch some of his videos and pick out a engine combo that he's tested which is great because he's pretty much took all the guessing of what works and what doesn't work out of the Equation.....man I'm Curious of what you'll go with I would like to see what it'll put down.....Good luck with everything hope it goes well..
361 cubic inches is kinda on the small side ... especially for a big block... Chevy had a 400 small block V8... I would definitely try to run way more cubic inches than a 361... u really don't even see 361's being built.. 383/400 low decks yeah, but definitely not a 361
Its rated for 800bhp so if I keep turning up the boost, I should be able to make 650-700whp. If I need to make more than that, I'll go twin turbo instead
1962 block pushing 450hp to the wheel is very impressive
Not too bad for a 361 mopar 😂
Very nice!!! That turbo setup makes the old 361 respectable...
Right? The 361 can break some hearts now 😂
Very impressive Night Wrencher.
60 year old untapped power.
Nicely done.
The engine has a great sound.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day.
Thanks Ed! And I'm not quite done yet!
It's came a long way man.
Slowly but surely 👍
I'm building a twin gt45 318 for my 74 charger so ill be following the shit outta this build thanks for the tips and tricks

Well I'm ballin on a budget so I'll just have to run what I've already got and slowly get the little things thanks again man
And my bad I went back and looked through my phone and they are indeed gt35s
Awesome job man!
Thanks man! It was a lot of work but its getting there!

The 361 and even the 413 never really got their share of the spot light. I'm hoping to change that 👍

I’ve been waiting on this bud since your short
Took a while to get it out there, dyno shop is always busy 👍
I should have watched this sooner but I definitely love seeing stuff like this. I made one change to the dart after the dyno day and now it’s an animal. I gotta get a new video done for it and hopefully in April we can get the cars together for Spring Fling.
Just let me know 💪we gotta hit the track together one of these days too!
@@nightwrencherperformance Been discussing renting irwindale sometime early next year so if we do you’re in for sure.
@@Dart_ChrisCan i play to?
@@infamousnova If it happens I’m sure we could squeeze in another car. I don’t got nothing for that nova though 👀
@@Dart_Chris Nova is only 350rwhp. I'm sure you would kill it
Very informative. Pretty gutsy going from 5 psig of boost to 14 psig in one step lol!
Sometimes you just gotta risk it for the biscut 😂
Aught to try and do something about the dent in the right fender, it's driving me crazy LOL!
I know, me too 😂 Its on my to-do list 🤣
Nice work! There are lots of old BB Mopars in need of boost 😁
There sure are!
I love it great job
I appreciate it👍

My dads 73 duster rolled back and shoved the rear quarter into the fender 😂
Intercooler, or a way to monitor iat, to see if it’s worth it
Just gotta make it fit and do a before/after 🤔
anything that puts 460 to the tire, most people will not know how to deal with
@infamousnova says I'm no match for his 454 😔
👀

@@midnight347 so true
I see ya NW keep doing your thing bruh. When are you and infamous going to race seriously ?
You know I'm always moving forward 💪 I've been trying to get him to get out to the track but ever since he found out about the turbo, he's been real quiet😬
@nightwrencherperformance 🤣🤣🤣 awwww man 🤣🤣🤣
@nightwrencher you maybe on to something!!! Sure would like to see that race though!!!
@nightwrencherperformance Infamous said you ducking him the people just want to see a good ol race
👀
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Time to get your car on there
Did you add ring gap
Read my response on your other comment 👍
Funny how close you got it to 14.5 psi and 5252rpm. Makes the math easy
How much more do you think itll hold? 😅
@@nightwrencherperformance depends on what specific part “it” is.
If I was a gambling man, my money would be on the pistons going out before anything else.
@@nightwrencherperformance in theory rpm kills pistons before load does, but then again these are 1962 pistons with zero intended performance implications.
My Mercedes 1.8L makes 189HP Stock. That's almost 2HP per cu in
Yeah, the new motors are really efficent. My turbo LS makes 2hp per CUI
When is the race
Tomorrow 😂 I'll keep you guys posted 👍
@@nightwrencherperformance thanks those 361 r a beast motor to bad mopar didnt go more performance with them
Got a question...What year is that block???
The block is from 1962 😎
Why is there a big dent on your fender
Because my dad backed into it with his duster. It been like that for 7 years.
you can easily pound that fender back out or pull it out. @@nightwrencherperformance
👍💪
Not too shabby for something thats not an LS 😂
Dude, 450/460 at the wheels? That thing gonna feel GREAT on the street!!!! Nice work.
Water/meth will make up for the lack of intercooler and probably allow you to take it out to 18-20 degrees of timing and pick up huge amounts of torque.
I think you're right, we're also looking to switch over to E85 as well. I also want to add an intercooler but finding the space is a little difficult
Car looks wierd. Need to fix that hood scoop. Looks creepy like a Chevy
I don't know how I can "fix" it 😂 the turbo elbow is way taller than even a power bulge hood
