Turbo BS Thread

Nice! That looks really clean, what's the build?

 

Certainly won't make much boost on those rollers.

 

I've been busy as well, made some progress getting the new GTX3576r genII in.



Shoutout to Torspd for helping me get the drain figured out!

 

Bravo man! Looks great! Tuning all finished yet?

 

LH6 Gen IV 5.3 LS on E85. (weiand/lingenfelter alum ls intake, deatschwerks 1200cc injectors, nasty fuel rails, holley sniper 85mm throttle body, stock casting heads with pac beehive springs, titanium retainers, che trunion upgrade, stock rockers, factory truck manifolds reversed with custom hotside y pipe, vs racing 88 billet turbocharger, custom cold side/FMIC setup, LS2 camshaft, C5R timing set, melling oil pump, oil pan scavenge plate, SFI flex plate) Home built by me 4L80E trans, stock width ford 8.8 31 spline rear end with 3.90 gears, stock style suspension (already has the BMR catalog thrown at it). Keeping air conditioning, converting to electronic power steering on the column. ABS delete, cruise delete, trac control delete.

 

Nothing good to have pics of just yet. Rock solid motorsports tubular front end and midwest chassis 10 point 8.50 cage should be here soon. A one armed blind man on a meth binge wired the car so I have a new body harness to go in and engine harness will be getting sent out soon for repair/modification. Interior and current wiring should be stripped out this weekend if all goes as planned.


Will be really similar to this but no cowl delete.

New Super core will be here tomorrow thanks to Full Race for the second time in a row. They have been awesome getting me what I need to get this back up and running. Once I get the super core in I'll drive for about a week and then @Boostking and I will keep tuning. Unless I can find a buyer before that. We'll see what happens.

 

900-1200 whp daily eh? I like what you've done.

 

Not quite, still have to plumb water lines and tweak the exhaust. So close!!

 

Wont be a daily, but functional street car. Eventually it will be true flex fuel. Goal is to run solid single digits and my wife still be able to jump in it and drive it to work should the need arise. And I dont think the stock bottom end 5.3 will hold 1200whp. I think the record currently is 1050 or so. I have an iron block to build a forged bottom end out of eventually.

 

Cute little guy. It's going to be making some torque. Those rods are in for a treat.

 

That will be mean.

 

Hope so. I have friends building low 7 second cars, i cant afford to keep up with them. I'll gladly take my seat on the b team lol.

 

What size cm3 is the hot side? Have you measured the blades? What sort of boost goal(s)?

 

So so close. I know you can taste it!

With what you've laid out, that sounds highly attainable and not ambitious. I am an avid supporter of and HP family.

The goal is no more that ~400 whp. The truck and engine already get thrashed enough. This will just get it to the thrashing that much sooner. Lol.

Just watched this video about "My first mountain bike." To summarize, he got a second job to fund the addiction. There is a connection there, when it comes to HP. Lol.

Didn't measure. Clocked it, and reassembled. Then checked wastegate pressure. Relayed that 35 PSI, might be fun, but not for long....

 

With my aim for 500hp peak on my truck, I'll be sitting behind you on the C team. But at least it should pull on most of what's up here in Maine for "car scene" guys.

 

Factory rods and stock head castings are going to be limiting factors above 1XXX.


Yeah, my biggest problem is im a serial hobbyists. Trucks, cars, guns, mountain bikes. Got rid of all my RC cars, that helped a bit.

 

I can relate. Lol.

 

It should be on the inside casting. Ima guess a 12cm3.
