Help building Turbo Motor
Ok, I'm making the list of the engine items I need
The list I have so far
Keep in mind this is an LS1 with 105k miles on it, (mostly highway) and its well taken care of.
I have Diamond forged dished pistons 8.6cc
Eagle connecting rods
6.0 Heads
Do you guys think I'll need to replace any bearings while I'm in there? Do you think itll be worth the money/time?
Plans for the car are 600 RWHP with the KYTP kit.
Anything else that is neccessary that I'm leaving out for this combo?
Any help is appreciated as I'm trying to get a rough estimate of what kind of dent the forging of my motor will put into my budget.

Yes you should definetly replace the bearings, high volume oil pump, upgraded chain, etc. Do a search and you should be able to find lots of info. I am not a internal guy but could tell you that not replacing bearings, and doing a half fast job to save money would come back to haunt you
