Re: What does it take?
Man that gives me a lot of help... was that on the new motor or the stock?
**edit: I see that was stock motor no nitrous... what kind of setup were you running?
Re: Gt35r?
Eric... I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. If I have a 12psi actuator on the turbo and ran a manual boost controller... the max boost would be 24psi correct?
Nick
Where can I pick up a GT35R with the Sy/Ty housings? I think this is the turbo I have finally decided on.... also can I get different wastegate springs for it?
Re: Stock boost?
Okay I have been thinking about it... I know the stock 17c will be fine for my application FOR NOW, but would I be better off just putting the GT35R on it from the get go?
I have been thinking about keeping the boost real low.... but seing that my weak points are the cast...
Re: Stock boost?
Yeah I had to go back and edit my last post.... had something else on my mind.
So what could I do to keep the max boost at 7-9 psi? Boost controller and a new wastegate spring?
Re: Stock boost?
Well, since my ECM doesn't have a boost controller in it.... I think I am going to need an aftermarket boost control.... maybe something digital.
If I ran no boost control and relied on the stock wastegate... what would be the max boost?
Re: Stock boost?
The best part about the tuning is that the 01+ S-Series have a LS1 style ECM. LS1Edit works on my truck.... so when I get it all running I got a guy here locally that tunes for the GM Performance division.
I'd like to keep the boost at 8 psi for now, I still need to figure...
Re: Stock boost?
The MAF shouldn't be too much of a problem. I mean guys are running 12lbs with a s/c on the stock MAF.
Getting fuel into it is going to be the hardest obsticle. Our stock manifolds only accomodate 19/hr injectors just like the 5.7 L98 Vortec motors. I have found a MPFI...
Re: Stock boost?
New lower compression forged pistons are planned..... L35 heads flow better.. L35 rods are pretty damn beefy....as for a cam I am getting one from CompCams so I can get rid of the valve overlap.... since the turbos seem to like it better.
so the only other area that needs...
Re: Stock boost?
There is no way I would even be able to fuel 14.7 with the stock 19lb/hr injectors. To me the weakest part right now is going to be the 4L60-E.
Whats the difference between the Sy/Ty block and my L35 block?
Re: Stock boost?
See I am getting ready to drop a turbo setup on my 2003 Blazer Xtreme. To start out... I would like to limit the boost at 7-8 psi until I get my new intake manifold to upgrade the injectors (Mercruiser MPFI intake).
Everyone keeps telling me to get the next turbo up for a...
