LOL its amazing what LS motors can do with a built motor and a HUGE turbo. Here's a LS owner running a TTi single turbo set up. Of course he's using a Turbonetics Y2K T82...

Yea thats why I wanna see this build finished. I love what the LS in my truck has been able to handle and the power I made when I had it boosted.

 

I thought this bad boy was going to be done in June? What's the hold up?

 

He stated numerous times that parts are being released late for the LSX.

 

oh okay

 

I'v got a question about this setup... Can you run open headers with FI? I was thinking about the sweet sound of a built V8 with open headers, and since there is no sound ordinance here and inspections...lol thats easy...If I do this and have that shop fab that SC setup would I be able to run open headers?

 

If you are running alot of boost with a supercharger setup then yes, open headers will show gains, but with a low boost setup you will loose power.

 

What about with a turbo? ('m trying to talk them into a turbo instead of a SC, my girl has bad ears and couldnt even ride in my truck when SC'd)

 

You cant run open headers with a turbo....theirs a turbo at the end of them

 

told you guys I'm a noob with turbo's.

 

You could run open downpipes and wastegate dumps to atmosphere.

 

Im sure your a "noob" to turbos, but thats pretty bad. LOL!

I cant wait to see the end result of this car.

 

Yep...trying to source parts......If i get all of my parts together w/in a week or two i'll have it back in the first week of august.



Noah <- should have gone with an LS7...would have been done by now!

 

Noah, have you heard from anyone yet on the parts. I got at least one email from one shop telling me they were working on it. I figured I'd follow up with them all on Monday since most people are on vacation the rest of the week. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything in the mean time.

 

I may have some heads....i'll have to run LS7 heads and upgrade later..........dude u are a huge help....maybe I should turbo the car later

 

NOICE!!! Did one of the shops I talked to hook that up or did you find them from someone else? As for going turbo ABSOLUTELY!!! Talk to TTi for sure on that. They do TONS of LS motor turbo kits. The dyno at the top of this page is their "street" kit with a Y2K T82.

 

Seriously?!? Imagine that on my 454 cast iron block.......that already makes into 6xx rwhp........i got the heads thru a friend in MD that totalled his car....

 

Yeah that would be ridiculous. That dyno is from an 370 cu.in. LSX motor as well. Here's his blurb about the motor:

He has some pics of the kit, intercooler, car, etc on there.

 

dude that's awesome......his motor looks better in a Z tho

 

I cant believe this still isnt done... Wow ur patient...
