welp, I've got the Turbonetics kit, had it for about a month, and never thought I'd get "used" to the power, but after the help of getting pounded by a camaro z28, I've decided this needs a lil more umpf! Noticed the sfr engine block, seemed to look pretty good, however was wondering if anyone has any recommendations either other than this or parts to purchase with it?? Mods I have so far are Turbonetics kit and greddy evo II exhaust. whats the next step? Obviously a new clutch (which this stock clutch is holding up pretty well) and I really am not looking to go twin turboed.

 

This has been discussed hundreds of times. There are several ways you can go to achieve your goals. My 2 pieces of advice.

1. Dont waste all the $$$ ona build with the TN kit, it wasnt designed for built motors.

2. Search your options, educate yourslef, and then YOU decide what is best for you, your goals, and budget. Good luck.

 

Great call Alberto. Ibtl

 

+1

 

+1 on what Alberto said.

Were you looking into the SFR assembled shortblock?

I would call the shop that did your install, and see if they can work you a deal on an engine build.

 

An SFR engine build deserves an SFR turbo kit.

 

Since in your other thread you were street racing this Camaro that whomped on you, i will offer you no advice so you can get faster and then street race again.

+10000000 stock internals should hold 250 shot

Forget what alberto said he is a hater of you turbonetics kit, I say go buy that block THEN find a shop to install it for you. But first use NOS beat that chevy do it in the mountains with high clifs I doubt the chevy can keep up at that altitude.

11.9 @ 116mph with a weaksauce launch was fun! Until it went BOOM

 

I still think there's hope for making nice power on the Turbonetics ST kit. There is already at least one car making over 500whp on it. With a couple more modifications and a built motor I think you may be able to actually max out that turbo.

As far as blowing the motor on the kit, it happens on any kit if you push the car hard enough. Supporting mods can only do so much, as well. It's all about the quality and thoroughness of the install and the tune, but either way it's just a matter of time on any stock block car.

 

Alberto I hope you know I was being sarcastic just wanting this guy to blow his motor.....I am not into street racing and lost a friend that way. Cheers boss your Z is one of my reasons I bought a 08 Z which was the first on the forum

 

Give me about one more month and we will see. My built engine is supposed to be done this weekend, and then I have to put the car back together and get it tuned. But the formula to do it should be there. Although I will be at a disadvantage compared to the car in question that spun 520ish rwhp on GTM's dyno because he was using an FCon IIRC. I am going to try to do it with a UTEC.

We shall see... Although if I even hit 450 I will be happy.

 

since you are already talking to SFR, ask Tim about what to do. Isn't he already working on an SFR upgrade to the TN kit?

 

Yes we are working on the Turbonetics upgrade kit.It is finsihed and needs to be tested on a Turbonetics car.However,we will bedoing some of our own testing with a PT67 T4 turbo to see what its got on a stock motor

 

Can you give us some more details, such as what is replaced?

Is there already dedicated thread on this?

/threadjack

 

Sell the turbonetics kit on the forum, and get a less laggy turbo kit that will make more power on a built motor.

 

Thanks for the worthless post. It's pretty obvious you are just spouting off from baseless opinion and not actual experience.

 

And you know that how? I have installed 2 and driven a few tuned and untuned. Don't make assumptions.

 

SFR is a cool shop. Tim can make some pretty crazy stuff. Good luck with your decision making.
