430lsx turbo build?
430lsx turbo build? Hey guys some of you know I recently built a 430lsx race motor that's built for boost and is in my 02 ta.
I was going to go with an f1r and Dan schoenick cog kit which I have now just not installed but I'm thinking of going a different way.
My goal is 900wrhp street car through a m6 with room to grow. I am currently thinking of tossing the f1r and cog and going turbo.
If I do what would you suggest? Single is probably most affordable and I want to go with a precision turbo but I know nothing about turbo kits that can get me to where I need to be.
Twin turbos would be nice but not sure if they are in my budget.
My question is can I attain my goal with a single turbo? If so what kit would be best? Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!

I would think the PT8847s 84mm turbine wheel will choke on that many cubes and have high back pressure.
The gt55 111.50mm turbine wheel should allow it to carry up top with out really high back pressure
Talk to Jose at Forced Inductions if you want to go turbo, he will make sure your set up with the right turbo

I would call up Forced Inductions. Their billet S480 with the 96mm turbine wheel is 1600 or so dollars and is capable of 1400ish flywheel HP. If you ever decide to turn it up a little, this 80mm turbo has room to grow.
If it were me, the 94mm mentioned by JoeNova would be my choice; it will spool/work well, lower IATs since it wont be working as hard, and you won't have to upsize any time soon. Also said, talk to Jose at Forced Inductions and he will get you the correct turbo.
Just my $0.02. Good Luck.
You are gonna want to do soo once you get into it lol as other mentioned, give JOSE @ FI a call for him to spec you a snail.
So what do I lose if I go t6 in a street car? I understand stock k member will need to be changed, radiator stood up, and get rid of the front swat bar.
Can a DD perform daily driving and still run a t6?
Also what kit is suggested to do this?
Thanks sorry for all the noob questions but I'm learning

Ok I'm totally stupefied lol
Here is the deal what can I use safely on a street car that will occasionally hit the track but also like s the road?
The motor is a built 430lsx I do not want to remove my sway bar.
Let me know I am leaning towards the Huron kit with the PT8847 .96 turbo
Now if someone says I will blow myself up then that won't happen lol
I have also spoke to forced and he suggested the billet s484 with 158 ar housing.
My only issue is I cannot find a kit that will fit without losing my sway bar and I would like to run the exhaust right out the back to my borla. I know sounds foolish and front bumper exit is an option but as a street car I don't wanna be announcing I'm turbo
Let me know what you think and suggest.
Honestly of the car was a drag car this is a no brainer but I complicate it more as it's a street car.
Thanks!

Go with whatever you want to use. Any of the mentioned turbos will make your power goals. I personally wouldn't go with the 88mm though. I would go with a billet 80/96 or the billet 84/96 that they mentioned when you called Forced Inductions.
You can do it with an M6 if you put money into the trans. The same can be said for auto. The car will be slower down the track with an M6 and harder on the rest of the drivetrain if you launch it hard, so understand you are giving up a bit of straight line performance and durability with the 6-speed, but can still maintain an excellent street car with it.

Yea I'm definitely gonna do it just want to ensure I choose right.
I'm not worried about it being an M6 really as I'm replacing the trans as part of this. I just want to ensure it's still fun to drive when I'm pushing those numbers
Thanks!
