Thinking about a mild build
Thinking about a mild build
Was thinking about a mild/reliable build and wanted some input from people. 350-360hp. Anything else you think I would need, please comment.
Would want:
-Forged pistons (to solve the possibility of piston failures we've seen)
-78# Springs with Retainers? (to help with the high boost)
-ZZP EFR Turbo or Precision Turbo Upgrade (basically looking for a bolt-on turbo upgrade, looks like the EFR when it comes out will be the one.)
-ZZP Stage 4 clutch
-ZZP Intercooler
Would need?:
-New Headstuds
-New Flywheel Bolts
-New Head Gasket
Currently have:
-Trifecta tune
-K&N SRI
-Hot Side Charge Pipe
-Hahn high flow catted dp
-GM Stage 1 MAP Sensors

all you need is a zzp s252 turbo kit and a clutch and you are ready to dock. 400 whp and the motor will be just fine. Screw all this bnr bs people always state. S252 spools quick, hand hangs strong up top. The bnr turbo are a good option if you want to throw your money away. Also the 252 will be able to be turned up on the occasion, say your going to a meet and want a little extra, turn it up and there you go. Stock motor will live a long time at 425-450whp.

even zzp has said the 2871 is a good turbo for something they wont offer.. without going new turbo kit (which is more expensive then just the bnr turbo)
.... common man .. really your gonna bash after seeing the numbers the 2871 put down.. it's not throwing his money away.. that turbo will get him to where he wants and much more..

I just want a bolt-up turbo. I would put the pistons in for sanity, after seeing the ringland failures people are having. I was looking through the 2871, but I don't want to have to deal with a BOV. I am thinking that the ZZP EFR turbo is my best bet if/when it comes out. I can probably do without the valve springs and retainers, but I see the pistons as a must.
