Well the turbo i was waiting on the guy sold it on the car it was a 88mm any way now i have a little different though.

i am considering an lsx tall block to make around 488ci but my ? is if i was to put a fi on this what is out their for as turbos i know thier is 102mm but don't know after that.
i have put the numbers together and i can build the motor for about the same it would cost for the turbo set up.

please give me you'll thoughs

 

whats your goal?

 

Most 102mm turbos will support 2000hp. Some companies offer 106mm turbos that support 2200hp. What is your hp goal? The hp number that you need to reach will narrow down the turbo choices. I would also use the 6 bolt per cylinder heads that fit the lsx block at that power level.

 

I know someone with an S-78 turbo for sale that has really low miles on it.

 

no hp goal just was told i could not see 9 in my truck with out doing the ford 9" and all that good stuff i want a turbo but wourld love nothing more to build one of these motors and come out swing if you know what i mean
pull up to someone with one of them under the hood with no are little lope and just bust that a$$ bad is my goal.
i have a few down here that just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel if you know what i mean

 

how thick are the cylinder walls going to be with that ci?

 

Randy, inst the WOLRD block good for up to 510 ci or something outrageous like that? How much more would it be to build that over the 488? I think it would be bad *** to see a 454+ LSx. Hell build it to about 11:1 CR and you should be plenty happy I think. (wait never mind forgot who I was talking to)

 

I have a 496c.i. LSx..

 

I want a ride

 

Isn't that an L1X?
