New here ,doing conversion WITH BOOST!! Hi there i know im doing this in the wrong section it is because i have a question that will follow, my name is neil im from the great white north (alberta canada ) and i have a 1987 mazda rx7 that used to house a mild sbc on the bottle ran 11.27@129.4 mph with a garbage launch and made 457rwhp 550 rwtq at only 4500 rpm until the block let go due to poor ring gap and a broken ring land....... any way long story short i have a nice little 04 5.3 going into the car now and the motor has the following
30 000 km
stock bottom end with the addition of arp rod bolts
comp 54100 kit including 918 springs and titanium retainers
comp 54 428 11 MONSTER cam in a 5.3 228/230 and 571/573 lift
i know the cams big for boost but its what i have so i might be stuck with it now comes the questions how would a turbo like this be sized for a single turbo set up on this motor in a light car?? im looking to do a cheap junkyard turbo build fab work is no problem so any help would be greatly apreciated ... heres a link to one that caught my eye-thx alot neil

pwrtrip ... are you running 15lbs on a stock bottom end???? also are you running truck manifolds or home made tubular headers? ... im looking to run around 10 lbs maybe more if i add a water/meth kit to it ...... and are you running a truck acc drive or a car one ? i REALLY REALLY like your car/swap and would love to hear/see more about it
15 psi on stock 5.3 shortblock w/ 6L heads. No meth, huge intercooler. Air temps stay at around 125-130 in the mid july heat. Headers I custom made. Car waterpump/crank pulley. More details here and build pics here.
