LSX 427ci Turbo?
LSX 427ci Turbo? I'm having Billy Briggs build me a Hydro roller 427ci, to run on pump gas. My question is, what size turbo should I be looking at. I found a 106mm almost new. But is that too big?
Matt, you pick up the 106, I will loan you my GT47-88, I will test the 106 for a while, then when you are ready I will upgrade and you can put the 106 on. Sound like a plan?
I'm not totally against that. Just wondering if an 88mm will be big enough on those cubes...?
Also, keep in mind. A 4,000.00 turbo is not cheap. I'd like to use it from new.
Don't really care about power goals... I'd like to go 8.50s-8.70s on pump gas.
The car will still be driven on the street... just not more than 2 a week...
You serious? lol

GT5018......Nothing more then a GT55 back half with a GT47 front half.....perfect unit for the bigger cube LS based motors that intend on pulling street duty. Also can be built in a mid-frame package or full frame thumper.

You made the right choice getting that setup. Even if you don't use it, you could use everything else that comes with it! 106mm would be sickly. You will be very happy with Billy building your motor
