Need a little help...build almost done
Need a little help...build almost done Ok so I am new to the FI scene for starters. This is my first FI build I have done, use to be a nitrous kid. I have been searching can't quite find something that will guide me in the direction of the size of BOV and wastegate i am needing for my build.
For the build it is in a 99 camaro Z28 vert.
Motor:
I have a LQ4 block as the basis bored .040 over, Mahle flat top pistons, Eagle H beam rods. ARP head studs and rod bolts. 317 heads P&P Isky custom grind cam, edelbrock pro flo intake matched with a Fast 100mm TB.
Fuel system:
Aero Eliminator fuel pump with Edelbrock high flow fuel rails and racetronix160#
I am running a GT45 turbo aiming upwards to 1000rwhp...only problem is not sure on what size BOV or wastegate to run. Oh and also have a A2W precision intercooler.
THANKS!

Ebay's claims of 1000 HP on a GT45 are marketing B.S. to get people that don't know any better to buy them.
They top out around 600 whp on a 6.0, unless you get one of the 76mm versions, which will still be out of steam before 700 whp.
If you're running a single gate, 44mm or larger will work with good placement. Blow off valves are almost useless on an auto trans, but if you have a manual just get whatever, they all work. Grab a standard 50mm Tial type.
