Default new setup) Alu 408, gt91. Pics/questions

Well I just wanted to share a few pics, of my new setup. Its a ERL built aluminum 408. they built it out of my old blown up ls2 that was in my tahoe a few years back. Its a turbo street package with compstar rods and crank, GFX rings and Wiseco pistons. I also made sure to get the best rod bolts, and main studs available.


Also this will have the KB turbo kit on it. I am selling my old t4 kit and 76mm, and srapping this big guy on. Its a t6 kit with the gt91 turbo. Although this is a street driven vehicle I think i want to do something radical with the down pipe, but still uncertain.




Heres some pictures of my fuel system that i purchased used. Its a a-1000 with a surge tank and all that stuff.





And heres where it is all packed away in the garage, sitting with a 454 BB, and a blown up 5.3 I am living in Australia for now!


I do not have injectors yet, and need to read more into injector driver boxes. My question is, what heads do you think i should run? I want this thing to be a beast so I pretty much decided on some fully worked LSA heads, but would like to hear other peoples opinions. Thanks!

Awesome project! Some WCCH LSA heads or AFR225s would be awesome.

Id call RIchard at WCCH and tell him what you want to do. He will steer your right for sure.

What are you doing in Australia? Ive always wanted to go there.

Fixed your pics so the thread is easier to read

Is that a small converter or a big turbo?

Of course, hopefully it will be enough power to drift dry roads and sutch

Looks like a fun build. Use a Versafueler to drive the injectors.
