So, 94mm turbo and a stock crank? No intercooler?

Sounds like a fun project! be sure to post "after" pictures!

Its not really the crank that he should worry about. Its heat and detination.

E85 is a good start but I would say you are going to need alot of meth to keep this safe

I have guys in the running in the mid 20lbs boost wise with E85. Non Intercooled. Granted they are Blow Thru setups. There is power there. Its gonna be a tuning game for sure.

Like I said Josh everything has to match up for that turbo to work right.

You plan on spraying meth to lower the IAT's? On E-85 it obviously wont be an octane issue but spraying just a little meth would lower the IAT's a bit. Nice build though! What wheels do you have on her?

Sick setup for sure! I admire the attempt to do what you want... on the other hand I have a gt 47-88 and I dont think I need that. But to say a 370 is not enough motor for at gt55 is nonsense.... really even a 5.3 would work. Compression, rpm,rpm,rpm,rpm and top end setup is the key.

Wheels are Billet Specialties Street Lites, powdercoated black. I had thought about using meth, but the whole reason for me switching from nitrous to turbo was not running out of power.
