Kinda new to these engines, need a nod in the right direction.

Want to do: - single blow thru turbo lq4 block on e85
- turbonetics tc76 blow through,(maybe w/o intercooler since E85?)
-extreme velocity carb hat
-quick fuel q series 750 cfm blow thru e85 carb
-vic jr single plane or performer dual plane manifold (vic jrs capable of only 600 hp, not sure about performer)
-livernois stage 3 ported 243 heads-not sure bout these other than their cathedral ports match the IM's
-brutespeed FI cam (232/240 .595/.608 115)(comp 7.40 pushrods, comp timing chain)
-forged bottom prob thru texas speed--dragonslayer crank, eagle h beams with arp 2000,wiseco pistons(not sure which cc for this setup) steel top rings, coated clevite main n rod bearing, HD tool steel wrist pins, balanced of course)

Not sure what kind of HP this will make; tell me if you have an idea. Dont really have a goal yet, just want something fun to build and drive in as a weekend driver/ occasional drag car. If I had to put a number on it, id be happy with 5,6,7,800+ HP, whatever is reliable and realistic. Im still sifting thru these forums so if you can help just off the top of your head before I find the info, dont be afraid to give some input. Im just here to learn. Thanks for your time.

all good parts but the turbo if its one of those china tc76's.. get something better on your list.

Yeah the turbo is a turbonetics tc-76 'vanessa' with a .96 a/r. wanted something that i could feel while on the street. Could anyone shed a little more light on the intercooler on e85? I hear yes and I hear no. I saw a reply on a thread with someone with around 1k hp on e85 with no IC. Ill do a little more digging but if anyone knows, the info is appreciated. Additionally, i was trying to set up the bottom end to eventually support a twin turbo setup. Anyone know if these parts are capable? Thanks again

I would rather see a bigger turbo on it (pt88, S480, s484, gt91, pt7675, t7675 etc) the TC units don't have enough turbine. I would say on e85 and a blow thru that no IC is really needed.

I have blow through carb on e85 and one meth nozzle.. I put a frozen boost w/a and so far just on low boost 14psi its gone from a best of 9.82 with no intercooler to 9.54 with a water to air..

I am running e85 and no meth but I did do a cheap air to water set up. It won't hurt and as posted above can definitely help. I would also vote for a bigger turbine. If you just want reliable and relatively quick spool the $650 Borg Warner s475 with the 96 mm turbine is hard to beat.

Great thanks for the help guys. I did a lot of reading on the borg warners and it was either or. Bigger turbine, better price, I will go with that. I read some guys were saying that e85 and meth was questionable but 1 injector seems to have proven well. I think a w/a IC would be an easier system to setup tho. Anybody have any input with piston cc's? -2 or -3 flat tops or -8 or -10 dishes? Thanks again
