Default Big single turbo + 481ci

Is there a single turbo that will BOTH fit under the hood of a WS6, retain A/C, and be able to sufficiently feed a 481ci?

Not saying I'm building one, just curious.

edit: maybe a short deck 427ci or 454ci is all thats needed too. LSX iron is the choice either way.

Which turbo would operate efficiently with an engine of this size?

im just saying with that amount of displacement, and a huge turbo, and running the ac, you might want a good radiator and fan setup to run on the street in hot weather....,.

I don't see why OFI's kit wouldn't work. The kit supports a S91 Turbo which is T6 turbo good to 1500+hp, and still retains A/C and fits under the hood...

I think an S91 may be a tad small for that setup. I don't think anything larger then that would fit everything though. The A/C is gonna be the tough part.

S91 could work, just getting at the edge of its efficiency range.

Quicken if this gets way off track like your threads normally do it will be closed real quick.

With that out of the way an S91 would be way to small. A 101 or 106 would fit the bill and even larger if the setup would be raced.

Next your gunna say ya want it to have a 6 speed. A combo like this would be a waste in a street car and A/C really has no buisness in there.

Where do I find info about this kit?

Would this set up with that turbo be daily drivable?

Well, lets hope some ******** doesn't take it off track, like they usually do. Things get off track when people post, "your stupid", "it can't be done", "what the hell do you want to do that for"...etc, etc, etc. As long as they stay out of here or post comments with some substance it'll be just fine.

This would be a 100% street car and A/C is a must. Would a 101 or 106 fit with the OFI kit or any other kit and keep A/C?

It would have an auto tranny, probably 4L80E or better.

Quicken why on earth does a street car need 1000+hp unless you are streetracing etc. Then i don't see how 1000 hp is going to get you to work any better than 500 hp. Esp if it rains or a cat craps on the raod etc. But i dunno maybe that is just me. A 1-2 power to weight ratio would be pretty kick *** though.

Look, I want to have this car as a weekend car, take it to shows, putting a show car quality paint job on it as well as a sweet interior and I want a very unique and awesome powerplant. I don't want what everyone else has under the hood....thats all. Maybe 3,000 miles per year.

I hope my sarcasm detector took a crap... otherwise, let the man spend his money the way he likes!

If he wants a 1500rwhp streetcar with AC and a giant slurpy holder, than who the hell are you to tell him he's wrong in wanting such a car.

He wants options on reaching his goals... not opinions on whether you think it's a good goal to have!!

Quickin - All the power to ya! I really do hope you can make your car exactly the way you want it to be. I see absolutly no problem with wanting such a beast!
