Need advice-Ive searched the forums Alright, I got a great deal on 2 58mm garret turbos, have no info on them. Searched all the numbers on google to come up with nothing!!!
But those go on last so Im leavin them alone for now(Guy who will fab the IC and exhaust should be able to tell me alot about them when I bring them to him)
I have bought
wrecked 2000 z28(for the LS1)
stage II heads and all billet cam ground for 9-11psi
5.3 cast iron block(out of 5.3 truck) bored to 3.905 and arp main studs (all block work/blue printed/honed is complete)
Polished Valve covers(adds to the "pimp" factor)
Coil relocation brackets
Wires to go from firewall to spark plugs
2 Garret 58mm turbos/wastegates
SMC Alky injection kit
LSX 90mm intake and throttle body
85mm MAF
255lph fuel pump(cam off 500+hp single turbo LS1)
I need to buy
Forged pistons
Roged Rods
Fuel injectors
6 speed transmission with clutch assembly
Clutch
Im told the stock crank is proven over 1000hp, so I should be fine with that right? The car will be daily driven, Id like to see over 800rwhp and thats conservative.
I need advice on what size injectors to get
Whether the stock fuel rail will support the power I want
Is the 255lph fuel pump big enough
what to do with the 6 speed(buy a "built" one???)
best clutch for the street/strip
What pistons/rod are best for forced induction(I know what LS1s can do with just 11 psi =))
Once the motor and tranny are together-its going in my 89 firebird. Then a base tune will allow me to drive it for a while, and drive it down to Orlando and have Norris Motorsports dyno tune the car (Should have 500 miles on it once Im in Orlando).
I am just looking for general advice/tips/insight. Thanks alot guys!
