post up some pictures...

The stage 3 from IPP is a good choice and will get you your 500-600 - some people have had issues with their blocks - my stage 3 from IPP has been great and Kyle has been available for questions and concerns I've had.

look into the greddy twin kit or the JWT twin kit if you are deadset on twins but also consider a single turbo...and while your at it look into the supercharger kits too. Some guys are making good numbers with the tuner kits.

you'll need to upgrade your fuel pump, fuel delivery (return system), injectors.

What do you plan on spending on this?

 

I messaged Kyle and he responded to me within 10 minutes, I was amazed to have such a quick response. I'm fully deadset on twins and I'm looking into the Greddy kit as well. I have a budget of around $30k for all the parts completely, but I'm willing to modify this figure since things change over time. I know the worst thing to do would probably set myself a budget and then go with cheaper parts if I can't make that budget.

My main reason for this post was I was thinking like "It can't be that simple to just take a long block and throw a twin turbo with some high flow injectors , fuel return system, and a stronger clutch system." It turns out that may be somewhat of the case. I was going to order the engine and the turbo system, and during that time look into the parts such as fuel delivery systems. Kyle says 4-5 weeks to build it and ship it.

I plan to take pictures, I'm probably going to be checking in often when it does go into the shop.

 

PawnXIIX, if you are dead set on a TT setup, Greddy is no longer the only option, you may want to look at the AAM Competition TT. It's new and they just released it to the public. I have it on my stock DE at 8psi and I'm at 397HP, even with an AT/5. It's very clean and complete. If you have any questions either Max at AAM or myself can help.

I have a vortech v3 kit I just purchased and it's sitting in my living room. I'm just waiting for my fuel pump and injectors and I'm going to install it. I have an 04 Z with 128k miles. The motor is extremely healthy no leaks or knocks or any of that. It's tuned right now with uprev sitting at 277 whp with minor bolt ons. Question is how much do you guys recommend pushing on a stock block with that many miles safely? Anyone who's running high miles with a vortech help me out please.

 

Depends on fuel, tune, how its going to be driven. But stay around 400whp to be on the safer side.

 

It's my DD with an occasional redline on the weekends but no track driving or anything like that. I'm not looking to push more than 400 whp anywhere from 375-400 is fine with me. Idk if that'll be good or not on a stock block or is that pushing it?

 

You will be fine as long as you havea good tune.

 

Just know that DD and Boost isn't the best combo.

 

I sure don't recommend boosting at that mileage, especially on your DD.

 

Dang I finally got a supercharger and you guys are just shooting my hopes down lol I have faith in my motor hopefully it'll hold out till I'm ready to build it at the end of next year

 

Might be fun.. Just don't abuse it...what your tuner does will help...

 

the dollar to hp ratio on these cars suck. with what you listed you will need a tune so figure in about another 700 for that. are the akebonos really worth it to you?

 

is he going to cover the license cost for you too or just the labor?

 

just make sure... the place that did mine was $300 for the license, and then $350 for the dyno tune.

 

No offense but if it takes you one day to go from fed up and wanting to buy a turbo to then fed up and blowing money on a plenum and goodies that make far far less power than a turbocharger...well....there's another issue at work...it's not the car that's making you unhappy.

Enjoy what you have and be grateful to have it. Most people on this planet never get to own a sportscar, let alone even have freedom or income above the poverty level. Hard to get "fed up" when in context to real world values. Food for thought.

they buy in packs, so i am sure there is some discount..... but every place i have seen and called charges about $300 for it

 

 

Anyone here know about ebay turbo kits , single turbo kits , why they don't come with turbo manifolds and down pipes , I'm thinking of just doing a rear mount instead , more efficient i hear from sts turbo
