^gtx is much prettier both turbine flow charts though are for the gt only, same chart just different sized. What A/R would you run on this for our cars and 500 whp?

 

i would run a .55 if i was just looking for 500. hell a 259 on a 55 is good for 600. but i don't think garrett has a .55 so i guess a .63 is the smallest they've got.

once i get working again though i really want to pick up another lsj as a daily driver but just keep it stock internal. 5431e at 380-390 or low 400. gmpp clutch, 15" wheels with slicks and go run some 11s

 

i would love to go to 600 but with stock rods, my comfort zone is 500 wheel and that would be plenty for 11's

 

Our rods are fine. I will prove this soon. You have to worry about sleeves way before rods.

 

I got mine out of bc for that price. Didn't think I'd find one in Canada for that.

Garrett only has the .63 as the smallest housing for the mid frame and up turbos

 

.63 is plenty smaller enough for a larger turbo. That's what mine is

 

Mark where do you get all this money being unemployed? **** if you can afford an LSJ being unemployed ill quit my job lol

 

No ****, unless his unemployment is making him a boss (From having such a good job before pays off)

 

Rods and research.
I researched and researched and researched, the metals sae 5115(lsj) vs 4340(aftermarket) to see if they are similar in strength. ZZP broke LNF rods (weaker than lsj due to 1019 metal) at 625 hp. They also ran the same rods before they broke 200 times at 400hp, 100 times at 500hp, a dozen or so times at 625 before SNAP.

I will prove this soon along with you. I have a fully built motor with LSJ rods being the only thing not replaced. I am now chromoly sleeved, forged billet pistons, trend wrist pins, thick total seal rings, etc etc.

Here is the feel good article for making power with our motors. (LSJ>LNF)

he sucks a lot of ****.

 

a 20g is outdated by about 20 years. to hit an easy 400whp you would be better off doing a newer more efficient snail.

can it hit 400whp? sure. hell a ported big 16g can do over 400whp. just easier and more reliable on a more efficent source.

 

only for so long though.

 

Been saying this same thing about the 20g for a while now, thats why I want a gtx3076r .63ar...

 

stick a gt45 on it.

 

i actually haven't really spent any money in quite a while. kevin you bought my hubs, i bought some other stuff. selling my axles, buying some other stuff. check from zzp, buying some other stuff. traded mongorat some stock injectors, got some other stuff. lol. and i've been working on and off as a "detailer" at a dealership here in town. i quote it because we hardly ever do anything with paint.

for now just doing the front end swap. getting the car back on the ground. and by then i should be in canada and saving for the bigger stuff.

 

front end swap?

 

i'll make a thread when it's done.

 

This!

 

that's me!

 

Me too

 

I'll probably post more once I actually do my swap

 

Just a curious ? guys has anyone ever tested the 20g full out potential on meth with a stock LSJ engine?

 

I'm currently on the s20g, e85, and 23psi with a stock bottom end. Not nearly pushing this turbo, but when I get closer to my build, I'll probably push it to 26psi for a little while. But I really want to push it to 30psi.

 

Know what kind of times you can pull say 0-60 and 60-100?

 

very few ppl will actually try to get a 0-60 on these cars turbo. I know exsoccer and a few others might but most won't even try.
