BlueAWDSS Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Subscribed!!!!!! And when you say stick lq9. No portwork or anything done to the heads??? The thing inbetween superchargers and turbochargers is that turbo's are all about efficiency more or less. You would be surprised how much a small port job would do with a efficient turbo setup. I have been building turbo setups for years and I don't consider myself to know it all but have a pretty good grasp at it lol. I have read a lot of books about turbocharging and studied it very well. If you want a good read on turbocharging I can send you a book called "maximum boost" by Corky Bell. Very good read and gives you good fundamentals about it.

idahoBLKss Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 as of right now heads have no port work in fact they have never been off the block as of right now. all that has been done to heads are springs and push rods. i em thinking of pulling them off however to put studs and ls9 gaskets in for this build.depending on how things go , i would like to get a nice set of heads maybe some trick flow's some time soon.

2bfast Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 With the corn fuel you are running and good tuning that short block will be laughing at you and want more. Good luck on the build Jonny boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAWDSS Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 A thing with turbos to remember as stated is efficiency. It works the same way as a supercharger on the intake side, but not on the exhaust obviously. You want max flow/velocity coming out of the exhaust to spin the turbine, but at the same time not choke your motor with the additional air. The biggest thing is to obviously make sure you have even flow patterns across the intake. The biggest gain with turbochargers is within the heads. Flow!!! Easiest way I can put it is get as much cold dense air in, then get that air as quickly out. Hope this makes sense. I am on my phone so when I get home later and on a actual computer I can better type it out.

idahoBLKss Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 i totally understand what your saying,but after buying all this turbo stuff i wont have enough left over to buy or get heads ported for a while . but i would also like to get a good turbo cam along with some good flowing heads. not sure if my cam is or will be good for a turbo ( 220-224 581-581 115) . there is a guy on pt running my same cam with almost the same turbo and says it really lites up after 4k rpms. what do you guys think a good set of heads would be for a turbo set up? With the corn fuel you are running and good tuning that short block will be laughing at you and want more. Good luck on the build Jonny boy i hope your right, i really dont want to build a motor.

f1ss Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Holy Little Wayne needs to reconsider what "beast mode" is after reading this build. Good luck man, I hope you can make new records with this setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 when do you plan on seeing full boost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahoBLKss Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 as long as there are no difficulties when i turn it over for the first time it will be just a matter of getting the tune dialed in to go WOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSSS Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 What kind of boost levels do you want? 20-25? I would have to see that compressor map but with a single 50mm wastegate I don't think you will be able to gate anything less than around 15psi. I think with your setup and your demands that will be fine. I'm guessing your shooting for around 22-25psi? Probably every bit of 25 if you want 140 in the quarter! I am in to watch this build!
