Turbo(s) question

Hotrodz · 10-22-2020, 01:41 PM

If you go to the FI TT kit thread you will see a number of builds with there stage 1 kit that have made over 600 whp using GT 2860rs turbos. I was tuned between 600 and 620 whp on pump e85.

BTW I can save you a bunch of money on your turbo's and injectors for your build as my GT 2860rs are for sell as well as my 1050cc injectors that just came off my motor. Shoot me a PM and if you have any questions about parts I will put you in contact with Sebastian at Specialty Z as he took remove them from my blown motor.

I'll definitely send you a PM.
Just curious, was it just stress overtime that blew your motor or was it some other factor(s)?

I will be using specialty Z for my tuning needs in the future

Right on! There are none finer at tunning than Seb and he is a wealth of knowledge.

It through a rod! Fatigue after five years of use and abuse. I was not surprised that it let go after three years of track use and two years of daily driving. I had purchased a block a year before she let go because I knew she was on borrowed time. Do yourself a favor and pick up another motor when one comes available and save it for when the inevitable happens. I already have one set aside. Other that she was running like a champ!

Dang, that lasted a long time, especially if you ran it daily at 600+whp

My hopefully Seb will be able to provide an e-tune for it so I can drive it down when it's all finished up as I'm up in northern California so it'll be interesting on how to get it down there safely, either trailer it or whatnot.

The second block is the plan, once this is complete I'll purchase a used one (assuming it's VVEL isn't damaged) and I'll build that block with some nice forged internals.

Theres a place in Sacramento that sells complete used blocks for about $850

Right on! I'm sure Seb will hook you up on the etude. I think you have a solid plan.
