Sad Sad Day = ( (update 9/23 w/few pics)

Not for me though! I made a decision to turbo my camaro no matter what. So i pulled the budget built 364 and sold it. I am working on another budget 364 for my gto and it should be done by the end of march. right now My hot side is getting built at the moment, and should make my car flat out scoot. Going to run a gt4718r to begin with... but i think it might not be enuf for my goals.

As i get items collected ill let you guys know on my build. more than likely wont be done till next year but i am willing to wait.

here are some pics for you guys to take a look at. the base of the kit is make from a set of truck manifolds. Id like to throw a Big Thanks to Anthony Peck at Fast Track Performance. He is the gentleman building my kit.

that gt4118 will be more than what you need i would think like how many pounds of boost you looking to run ?

4718*

its a 410 ci and the 4718r has a tad smaller exhaust housing that i really need. and 22-25psi the 4718 (aka the 4788) r is good to 1450hp. i need 1000+ rwhp through an auto so i may step up to a gt5594.

I like how ty acts like he knows what he is talking about....THIS IS SICK...Can't wait to see it on the streets!

1000 hrsp dam and only 22 psi. I would have thought that turbo can push more than that?

I hope you are being sarcastic with the only 22psi bit.... Its only good for 1450 or so. it will push more but i am worried about having too much back pressure.

yes i was but i would think that get that much hrsp you need more? but im still learning .... but wht kind of tuning or data logger are you going to use? that should be able to tell the back pressure?

Ty each turbo has a different flow rate (CFM=cubic ft/min) I'll explain with turbos that I know about take the MHI 14B and the MHI e316g. lets just say that all are set to about 15psi. the flow rate of an e316g=550cfm, and the 14B=405cfm.
Because the 16g flows more air per minute than the 14b therefore meaning more boost more air forced into the engine at a time 15PSI gives you more power on a 16g than 15PSI on a 14B. 15PSI is merely a number you set for the wastegate so that it lets exess exhaustr bypass the turbine housing so that the turbo isn't shoving more air into the engine than it is tuned for.

I hope that cleared things up for you man. I believe my information is damn correct. someone correct anystatemenst I have made

you have to put a bung in pre turbo to check back pressure. i will have my stock wireharness and use hp tuners for tuning on the car.

All I can say is that I will believe when I see it... Hahaha!

this kid ty cracks me up. haha. but cool build 1000 hp would be one mean camaro.

o ok i was wondering why ... it just seemed low but i understand know and clears it all up... i would love to see this camaro one day ... and thanks for the info aaron... im still young and learning

That's a big turbo!! 1000whp is setting your goals too high!! Ill say 800hp to be more realistic but GL with the build;)

id hope i can make 2.45 hp per ci with forced induction lol. ive done 1.5hp per ci n/a already. Ive seen plenty of pte88s (way smaller turbo) on 370ci push well over 1000 rwhp. i don't see any reason why i shouldn't. if the turbo is maxed out (i know the maxing out is an estimate hp #) at 1450 hp with a 18% drive train loss would put me well over 1100hp. im not worried about the hp number as much as the time i WILL run eventually.

2.45/ci should be easily acheived!

Looks great, what drivetrain will be behind this?

Estimated completion date?

be a neal chance 4000-4200 stall backed by a th400, to a fab 9" with a 3.00 rear gear. i need to redo my suspension. right now it is set up for auto x. so if you know anybody with and f body that wants a 2" drop and a stiff ride let me know

Getting ready to order my front bumper support from burkhart chassis today. Anthony started on the down pipe also

Damn Chris shits dope bro. Go BIG or go home I likey.
Btw backpressure is a big deal. Might a well keep you eye on that parameter.

well i was poken around looks like ill make all the powa i want and then some. here is a build similar to mine.... i have some better equipment to work with and his is only at 15psi for now. he has a 1.23 a/r on the exhaust, im running a 1.08 so i should spool a bit quicker.

Scored my new intake set up. Looking for a 105mm tb at the moment. I have the heads and the short block already. Spoke with comp cams and have a custom cam inline also.

Looking very cool, this will be nuts when it all done and the parts all look top notch. Makes me miss having a car.

Well i got a few goodies in the mail. put a mt dew can up to show the size of the down pipe. The next few items im in the market for are 3" charge pipe and air to water interfooler. It may look like im dumping $ into this, but it is on a budget for a race car. Looking to build a sub 9 car for $10,000 or less.

5in downpipe? Be sure to bolt all that up so I can see it NOW

looks good! we are having to use a massive downpipe on my cars setup this year too. only a 4in though!

5" for life! Don't think im going to get the camaro done before i move. Im moving the first part of may... but for anyone that is interested i have damn near all the parts together for the mfgto

6.0l with ls2 rotating assemblie
hand ported 4.8l/5.3l heads upgraded valves
si6cam
ported intake and 92mm throttlebody

4k stall converter through a 4l60e auto.

it should run a bit better than the camaro did with the 6.0l i had in it.

building 2 cars at once is taking its toll on me.

Damn brother everything is coming together well then. Where you moving to Chris?

Great Falls Brotha. Had a good job promotion open up so i ran with it.

Good luck my friend

Holy Crap time flies. good News Baby is on the way and due in November. Still working on the build. Ported a set of 5.3l heads for a 5.3l and boost. Decided to go little less expensive in the build to pay for baby items.

there have been many 5.3l that crank 800 rwhp through a glide out of a "stock" cam swapped 5.3 so it will have to do for now lol. I did d a minor overhaul on my 5.3l and upgraded parts as well.

5.3 heads ported by me (at the machine shop getting the seats cut an valves cut. 2.055/1.60)
Custom comp cam
Prc .650 lift springs
trick flow push rods.

2002 5.3l block and crank
2008 5.3l pistons and rods (way stronger than 1999-2004's)
Arp rod bolts
Balanced rotating assemblie
Perfect circle steel piston rings set up for BOOST
Kings Race bearings
Dura-bond cam bearings
Factory mls head gaskets
Pro comp head studs (o yea ebay... used them on many build and had great luck for a fraction of the cost)


Parts im still trying to find is a ls6 intake

going with a 4l80e transmission instead of a th400 so i get a hair driveablity out of it.

the second mouse always gets the cheese.

O and some new wheels for the whip.
