well the turbo im using is a T3/T4 but I think im gonna go with something like a SC61. The manifold I have now is a Drag with a T3 flange and Im using a Tial 38mm wastegate. For fuel I've got a 255lph pump and I might use all steel braided lines. As far as the motor goes Im gonna use Wiseco 8.5 pistons with Eagle rods(but i might go crower) along with a LS crank and Im goin to have it all balanced.

 

Depending on the specs of that T3/T4, 500whp isn't going to happen. Drag and 500whp...rare. Why are you going with 8.5 comp? Not trying to bust your nuts, but for you to wing out some easy questions on setup and claim a 500whp goal out of it....sketchy to me.

 

well i might get that 500 on boost or spray i would like boost over spray but if it comes down to it then I'll spray

 

If you know how to do it or the right combo it can be done. My motor is right were it should be at the boost im running. One of the KEY things is the right turbo. I'm always looking to help you guys out if i can. From my experience the very biggest turbo you want would be an SC61. You must keep this in mind to achieve full boost that turbo really doesnt come to life untill 6,000rpm. I rev my motor to 9.000 grand. I also have the right gearing to use the power. I know you said you are going to balance the motor. That is were an LS is no good. The rod ratio is not meant for those RPM's. Plus you want 500whp. I have huge tires and cant even put 400whp to the ground. Dont build a dyno queen. Build something you can drive and use. Your car will be slower if you have no traction. I used to run an SC32 it supports 450hp. That turbo should make 375whp on pump gas @18lbs. It spools at about 3,500rpm. That is a much better strret turbo. If i was not building an all out race car i would have kept it. Alot of people are buying Sc61's and they will find out if the car is not set up right then it wont work like you think. My SC32 made 325whp@12lbs with a bone stock head and 9.0 compression. When i went 11.74 i was at 10lbs and 300whp. that turbo @18lbs will put you almost in the 10's if you can drive the car.

 

you know where i can get a deal on a sc32??

 

You said you have the right gearing, have you changed gearset's at all? J/W me and Frankie (hondatyper) touched on what tranny he's using. Well, he is going to be using a stock GSR tranny (if im not mistaken). Would an LS tranny be better in this application?? Or maybe a GSR with LS 5th? I know he's going to be using HX wheels, I was thinking with that much power wouldn't it be better to go to a 16" or even 17" if not for anything but the ability to put more rubber on the ground? Just some questions i have been pondering.

 

yea im gonna be using a gsr tranny with ls 5th and 14" wheels. I was thinking bout getting some 16" wheels but those will have to wait til i figure out how much i will have left over after i finish the motor.

 

geez frankie...looks like your shits finally coming along (kinda wish now i would have traded motors when you wanted to, but to late now right?)...congrats man...ill be back in the hill sometime soon and hopefully by the time i come back... it will be finished so you can give me a ride in this beast.
