I feel like im reading some kind of top secret classified crazy *** information with this. insane

 

I bought a used 38mm Turbosmart from a buddy , that is gonna go in crossover pipe WITH priority over flow. Gonna go on the outside of the bend where the pipe makes the turn up to the back of the manifold. Should be able to control the boost better with both WG's hooked up. I also got a sweet boost controller coming too .http://www.propartsllc.com/electroni...hp?subCatID=64 I've just been driving it as is and watching the boost gauge so i don't over boost it. Its drivable at WOT till about the top of 2nd gear. I got to go play farmer for a buddy for about 3 weeks, so won't have time to work on it for a while.

 

Didn't read the whole thread but caught the overboost. We did a similar project with compound boost on a 03 Cobra.It was a twin turbo with the factory blower.We had over boost and the fix was to dump the wastegates to the ground.The backpressure in the exhaust would creep the boost.Also we had 2 44mm wategates.All said and done the car made 1000rwhp on the stock motor.

 

yeah and how long will that stock motor last... im sure these stock 5.3's can handle a 500 shot of nitrious alteast once right??

 

Unless I'm mistaken those stock motors are forged.

 

Then he should say stock forged motor.

I wish GM made the LSx/LQ9 engines forged stock.

 

496chevy, those stock motors come w/. some good parts, like Manley rods.

 

Yeah it sucks that Ford has forged stock blower motors and yet a ZO6 isn't. Pretty shitty imo.

 

OEM's generally forge components in their engines when they will be FI... the LS9. Although the LS9's rods are only a titanium allow, non-forged.

Are many of the Z06 motors cracking pistons or throwing rods in the NA form?

 

I'd like to see that too. On a histogram or graph in comparison with the boost after the blower.
