Another DIY turbo build
DONE!
My wife & I have been working on this almost daily for 6 mos. It is not in the same leage as a lot of the cars on here but we love it. It is absolutely bad *** on the street. This is my first gen III engine build & first turbo build.
I want to thank ls1tech & all the sponsors that make this site possible.
Details:
LS6 Block
forged -4 cc pistons
forged rods
stock crank
AFR 225 heads
TR224-114 cam
TC 76 turbo
Nasty Stage II with my own dual pump fuel system
Full "mostly" BMR suspension
Turbo 400
Vig 3k stall
9" rear
hell I can't remeber what else, here's some pics

No dyno close to us. I have taken it to ~9 lbs of boost & started getting 1 to 3 degrees of KR. I have around 150 miles on it. I'm trying to decide on what racing gas to order.
The elec cooling fan is taking a beating from heat off of the turbo. I ordered a turbo blanket from Jose.

Maybe you should try a progressive methanol injection kit...That would help with KR on the street atleast and then put some racing fuel for the track... Awesome work again bro... When I bought the KB BAP off of you your wife told me about it...She wasn't lying when she said that it's going to be nice... =)

Yeah I thought about meth but I would rather not have more stuff to worry about not working etc. I'll research it some more.
I put a drain in my tank so I can switch over to race gas when needed.
