gt28 probably

 

Whp or engine HP? GT2871 will make around 450 engine (390-400 whp) and spoolup pretty dang fast. If you are wanting 450 whp GT3076 or similar turbo can do it.

 

well<I need a new intercooler.. Whats a good reputable one for somewhere between $400-550? any gbs going on?

 

Synapse. $500 shipped

 

If you can wait it out. Clear Image might be making one into production. MAYBE.

I am looking for a solid 425-450 whp!

 

I cant wait it out, my intercooler is soo fudged up from that chunk of metalgoing through my bumper that its actually bent inwards in the middle and touching that rubber plasticky engine firewall thing just behind it. To my calculations thats about a 3-4 inch seperation between the two and thats a big dent! havent lost boost pressure though. still holding 15psi when flooring it, but I try to with hold from even going over the 0psi mark on my guage till that gets replaced. Im seeing a claims adjuster today who going to tell me how much he will give me for the damage.... I figure a stock one costs about 412$ at discount at my chevy dealer, I can spend about 100$ more to get an upgrade.

Its covered as comprehensive, 100$ deductible, will this raise my insurance premium? should I just spend my own cash to buy the parts? It's a shame cause the cars brand new. I think I also noticed a dimple in the sub frame under the car, not sure if its suppose to be there or not, there no scratches associated with it, just a dimple in the frame. Doesnt look or feel like it ruined my alignment.

I just checked their website out, it seems they sell their IC as a kit with the charge piping, can you get the IC seperate? is that 500$? cause the only thing I see thats 500$ is the charge piping.

 

Yes the IC is sold separate. I have clearimage chargepipes and Synapse IC and everything lined up perfectly. . Give Morgan a call at Synapse he will get you fixed up.

 

synapse IC FTW... i bottomed out and cracked a huge hole in it (my error) and synapse welded it up for me and sent it back free of charge.... they are the ****

 

That is good to hear Morgan seems like a great guy.

 

I wish they would get on here more often! I hear great things about them!

 

Yes, I have not heard from them lately on here.

 

maybe they are making something for us and dont want to leak the info out

 

Hopefully. . I mentioned to morgan last time i talked to him that a ported head and turbo manifold and an adapter to fit a GT30R would be great.

 

i would love a ported head... i am getting the most i can out the STOCK turbo

no swap for me

 

I thought about not swapping also... I just want 12.5! Maybe 11's lol.

 

bigger compressor wheel? we def can pull 400lbs of torque out the stock turbo.... some1 will fab up something nice.. anything more will just be a traction issue

 

ZZP has you covered there.

 

yea i was reading their thread... i just dont like the torque drop

 

420 tq has already been achieved on the stock turbo

 

yea i seen but did you see it fall on its face after lol

 

He is boosting 29 psi in the midrange the turbo cannot handle that for very long that is why the torque drops of like that. Still he is making 300 wrtq at 6K. That is about what mine makes with the stock head so IDK. Car makes about 340 whp and over 400 wtrq on the stock turbo pushed to its max.

 

yea but with bigger compressor wheel im sure the turbo wont suffocate like that

 

Correct but compressor surge issues have happened and maps clamps are needed to run that much pressure.

 

thats exactly why i havent got the bigger wheel yet

 

I'll keep my lowly 22psi for now... untill I get a fueling system worked out for us...

Which lets just say.... I am working on!
