please help with turbo ls1 build Gday guys, i have a few questions regarding my new ls1 turbo build I have built an 800 rwhp 6 cylinder 7 years ago, but v8's i dont eally have an ideo on, help will be much appreciated.
My goal is about 800rwhp, i want to use a stock set up first , and in the mean time buils a iron block, if thats what i need. ive already purchased a precision pt 88, and upon doing some research here, ive learned that i can use ls1 truck manifolds. And also have learned that the 317 heads. Now regarding theses heads, what does the 317 stand for, and what are they off?
When looking for a standard short block, which one is best? Ive read about how much a standard short block will take, but how much hp will it take with aftermarket crank, rods pistons. Apparently the alloy blocks arent very strong.
Which oil pump, cam should i use? What size injectors? which oem manifold should i use? Any other suggestions?
I am working on a budget, otherwise i would buy everything aftermarket off the bat.The car will be street drag car.
Thankyou all in advance for your help.
I will be running E85

Be careful with E85 we twin turboed a 468 with a BG 400pump and a E85 blow through carb and it went lean and dropped 2 cylinders still went 8.36 but u need alot more fuel with E85 just my experience

Another interesting fact i have just learned. Most of the ls series engines in the us have iron blocks, exept for truck blocks?
Here in australia, all the ls"s are alloy block. Any thoughts???
This is probably why i dont here you guys complaining about breaking factory blocks.

You need to do some searching on this site. There is a ton of info here for the reading.
The 317 heads are a casting number you can see at the top of the head on the right front side. They are on 6.0 chevy truck engines, same as the manifolds you want.
If you have access to an ls2 alloy block that would be my choice. Cam and oil pump I would buy from one of the vendors on this site/

If i was to get an ls2, do these have desirable heads, or are they 67cc like the ls1's?
