Home built Hot Parts Come on In! Every time i think about upgrading my 2000 t/a FI stays in my mind, does anyone have any experence on building there hot parts except for the headers, i will be buting thoes. And if so how did it go? I would like to do the same for a single turbo kit. My goal would be low 10s in the 1/4 at full weight with a built 4L80E.
Can i get some pictures of your built hot parts any turbo style.
Thank you.
The reason for my building the hot parts is because i like to build what goes on my car, and i like doing all the hard work so that i can have credit for it.

Aren't those manifolds really restrictive?
And is there anyway to keep my A/C, i should have added that in the beginning of the thread.
Hunter: i was looking at your sig. You have 9xx rwhp and run a 10.7xx. Whats your weight? And do your wheels have trouble hooking. I just would think that having 9xx rwhp you would be faster in the 1/4. Nice ste up by the way!

My weight is also 3850 with me in it.
As far as the manifold's being restrictive,yes a little,but they retain the heat needed to make consistant power,and will not crack like some of the header style's will!

LOL restrictive. The ohio boys are making 1500+ HP with the truck manifolds and have gone 7's on em....plenty of flow for nearly any of us guys here on the board.
A/C nope, but options might be opening up with the addition of the new BMR turbo K member.

1500 hp
Thats crazy esp on stock suspension!
Now i a going to build a low compression LS2 al block 402, 4" x 4" with a pair of mild ported LS6 heads. I was looking into a GT35R turbo, still doing reserch, but i want to keep my car full weight and be in the low to mid 10s. Will that be enought turbo, i looked in to an 88 but that almost cuts it, and with the GT35R i still have room to play unlike the 88.
I was orgional going to go all motor until i did some reserch, and found out a lot i didn't want and want to know, so i talked to eastside and they told me to do some reserch on FI.

I'm building my hot parts right now. Im using the truck manifolds. I really wanted to keep the a/c but truck manifolds are much easier and are proven performers. I am keeping all of my a/c parts to re-install when i make my own headers. The car will be 100% street car.

I looked into an AL LS2 block, and it can only handle about 650-700hp. Some guys have done 1000hp and it stayed intack. Apperently the LQ9 is a proven performer, it can handle about 1000hp. And its about 400-500 $$$$$$ cheaper but on the other hand it weighs 82 more pounds. So the LQ9 is a better choice!
One more question, will i have to relocate the radiator, i know i will have to buy an aftermarket one.

You might have to end up cutting your core support out to and set your radiator upright!! Theres a great circle track radiator and fans that fit perfect if you go that rout!! Just let me know and I can find the part numbers!!
