The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
It is not yet boosting, that was just the factory MAP sensor and injectors...the MAF was still factory...that was the break in period for the pump and to check how the return and feed system would work together...had to keep out of boost LOL
We just put on the 3BAR MAP and finally got it refrenced right so it would stop throwing codes at us....as well as the LS7 MAF sensor...we had to completely rewire and switch up the factory 5 prong connector to fit...lots of scamatics lol...
As far as room under the car...the car def. asked for what and where it is...we just followed the pipe and how the car asked for it..if that makes since...we told ourselves in the beginning of this project, that if it didnt fit, we wouldnt make it, MUCH lol...so this whole system is where the car will let it go...and for the most part, fit very very well....as far as the mounting of the turbo...and how we kept the room there...well, thats all in how you clock the turbo...and lots of drawing and measuring LOL...pipes are snug, but they fit at the right angle...
this has been a 8 month project with R&D with calobo with several sponsors that you will see on my build thread i will be posting up shortly...then the numbers..but with our compression ratio and no meth, we are going to run approx 7psi of boost, as far as lag, with combo of 3.29 gears and a T4-T70 with A/R of .96, we will have a lot of top in, from what our numbers are telling us, and the car as of right now, the AFR start to lean out around 2500rpm's....so keepn it under that on the break in run....but thats a great sign..and mind you with this turbo, we didnt want to be in boost all around town cause these gears are sooo tall...as you all know, and plus, we are incorperating the N2O to digress on the FJO N2O mini progressive controller through lag and fall-off through boost...
Ill have more info for you as you guys want to know...this has been a really neat project and I have had TONS of sponsor help...i will post all the stuff up in my build thread..i have a nice chronological time line pic movie i think you guys will like too.
Feel free to ask questions, we are doing this for the good of the LS4 communtity...we hit the wet shot end of things and now on to boosting...lets keep writting the book guys..
....so stay tuned for that one...hope you have about 35min LOL..you know me..
PS...I know it needs a tip LOL...its a lil "street fighter" right now cause we are building and tuning etc...the wastegate has its own devoted pipe as well that will eventually come out the other side and have chrome tip on that.....so we are keeping the factory look...shes sleepn....

Don't get me wrong here. I wish I had that kind of money to put into a car just for fun. But I don't, I am glad to see this happen, I often wondered about a remote turbo set-up on my Monte.
Again good luck
Im anticipating 415-425, pop on the N2O; which we are using to act as a cooling agent as well as a lil extra kick in the pants...prob only going to do a 25-50 digressive shot...it will hit and then fall off using the FJO...so maybe see 450 with N2O based upon those anticipated numbers above...i have had some say that I will probably see somewhere around 450-470whp and then upwards of close to 485-500whp with the spray up top...P.S. Cartuning has been a big help with helping with info on our application...thanks to Kevin and his staff over there...
