Gray Ghost turbo 427 LSX build
#222
So now that 85% of the engine wiring is done and things have been moved, I'd like to show off the engine bay a little. I'm still going to move a couple of factory harnesses so the look better, but I did the best wire tuck I really could. Everything on the top end of the motor is plugged in, injectors coils, sensors, the works. I think it looks pretty nice so far.



Oh yeah and one of the nearly completed front end.

Well I'm torn guys. After giving it some thought I think I'm going to change the turbo. This GT91/97 isn't going going to get it done. I'm considering either a GT5533R-2 (94mm) or a GT5541R (106mm)
Does anyone else have any other big (1700+) horsepower single turbo recommendations?
Thanks.

Essentially what I'm trying to do is not push the turbo to its limits and become a major source of heat. I'd like to reach my goals while still having a little wiggle room.

Call Reed at workturbochargers and tell him Richard said you need an S500 
Of the 2 you listed, I would go with the 94...a 106 is a donkey dick of a turbo even for a 427. If you want any kind of street manners anyway...
