We Talk Turbos

[mattdickmeyer]

After nearly 3 years of development, I am excited to let you guys know that I now have my own line of high quality turbo chargers & accessories, tho I will admit, the majority of the 11 turbos I have are intended fro larger cubic inch high HP applications. But I do have 4 specific turbos designed for 60-140 CI engines. I was led to this when I realized the majority of the turbo engines that we build involve a turbo that cost $4,000 or more, which is more than some people have in their engine or entire car or that matter. This kind of slams the door shut on the guy looking to work within a budget & still have some fun with his car. This led me to develop a turbo system that includes components made in the USA, several of which, local & even here at the shop. DEA turbo systems actually has many higher quality components standard than several of the other manufactures I sell as options. I feel this can give many of you the option of purchasing a quality turbo that will provide the results you are looking for & no longer consider junk yard or eBay turbos. Not that this applies to Festiva engines, I am currently in development of a large frame turbo, but this will be awhile down the road as the machining requirements & castings require a much larger investment. Finally the main reason for my post is to let the members know a professional quality turbo system is now available to you. I have talked with several other members with their turbo questions & have let them know that I will give members a reduced price. While my website is under construction, feel free to check out the shops facebook at Dickmeyer Automotive Engineering.S3010003.jpgS3010005.jpg

So you developed some goodies for the B3 and got out of it. Do you have anything in works for B6T or BP's?
Specifically manifolds.

Good to see you back Matt!! Looks like business is doing well for you

[bhazard]

I think we need a South Whitley, IN meet.

I got out of producing performance products for these engines, #1 rule of business....spending time & resources developing products & services that no one wants equals bankruptcy. I do still have part numbers for valve springs, valves & cams. All other components we build on custom order basis. As for turbos, I have 4 frames to work with or can custom build something specific within those 4 turbos. ( appropriate housings, rotor groups, ect.....) or you can just go big & install one of the DT77's...(see pic shown DT77 & DT67)

"But I do have 4 specific turbos designed for 60-140 CI engines."
Festy 1.3 motors are 80 CI, so apparently he does have turboes for us too. The 1.8 BP and B8 motors would be about 110 CI, so that's covered as well. And yes Matt, we would like to know about availability of intake and exhaust manifolds, BTW.

EDIT: Beat me by seconds, Matt!

WHOOOO!!!! welcome back looking forward to seeing some pics of the crazy stuff your working on, festiva's or not, anything with a big turbo on it is fun to look at

mmmmmm... Turbo flavored!
What am I looking at for a full setup on a 1.3?

To be honest with you, I tried that once. I had built a complete turbo system. It made 266 HP at the wheel & 287 FPT. The members who requested that I produce a turbo system to sell, said I was crazy when I told them the price. One guy said he would go $250, didn't make much sense to me as I had $269 just in jet hot coating. If you are serious about a turbo system that will produce results, give me a PM & we can go over the specifics.

ya, good work dosnt come cheap, if you want a $250 turbo system, you gotta build it at home using junk yard parts... if you want a well made turbo system that puts down good power and wont break every time you step on the gas, its gonna cost you WAY more than 250 bucks...


matt, you made 266HP on a b3? any vids or pics?

No I sold the system to another member & I totally lost my butt on the deal. But at that time, I was more than over it all.

Hey Matt! I am slowly starting to get some more momentum on my engine. I think in the future I will see about putting a turbo on my B3 because with all the work you did I think that it really needs turbo.

Knowing what all you have done, my DTO4E 6042 would work perfect.

What would one of those run? Also, what are the specs on it if you don't mind me asking?

The turbo pushes nearly 29 pounds per minute of air with a 57mm compressor wheel & a 55mm turbine wheel available in stage 3 or 5. It's a T3 turbine housing. All my turbos are T3 or T4 housings. As I said before, my priority at this point is in the DT70 series & DT60 series, which are all T4 housings. Sometime next year I am looking to have a large frame line in T6 housings. But back to the DT04E 6042, I don't offer ceramic ball bearing at this time as there is no room in the bearing housing casting to machine the insert, so it is journal bearing only, but still high quality. I also don't offer polished/brushed compressor housing on any of the DT04E frames because I do that in house & it would just force me to increase the price. The DT70 & DT60 series I only offer them in polished/brushed compressor housing because it's my best offering & it needs to look it. As for price on the 6042, I would sell that to members for $240.
