ok i have a 09 ss and im gonna build it since winter is here and iv got my truck back so no need for the car for a bit. im hoping to be in the high 400s low 500s on pump gas. for now my only definite thing im doing is zzps bolt on turbo i believe its called a zfr. im looking for everyones input on what brands and mods to get, i need a bigger intercooler, better clutch, upgraded axles, zzps fifth injector, and what else. anything you got in mind let me know and what of each should i look at
thanks for all your help everyone

 

I don't know much about the LNF, And i'm not sure how much work it takes to get to 500, But spend your time researching posts and the forum.

Looking forward to progress.

 

i was talking to the guy with that crazy ass cobalt that took on the skyline and he told me to get that turbo he said it should put me in the range im looking with the right mods

 

Please dont take advice from cobe!



Love to watch a good build.

 

yea wasnt on my plans list lol

 

Lmfao @ Cobe comment.

 

ZZP or AutoWerks kits will get you in the mid 400s

 

You don't need axles.

 

treadstone....pick from a big selection of turbos kit is premo

 

im pretty set on zzps turbo i like the bolt on idea makes the whole idea a bit easier, i just went through hell putting a new turbo setup on my truck and it was a huge pain so bolt to me = easier

 

all the kits are bolt on... if your just talking the zfr ? good luck, clutch, tranny, valve springs is a good start

 

i think thats it a guy on here with a pretty sick car told me to look into it, have you not heard good things?

 

Well I just finished my build. I have the Pwerks WR-3 proto and a built motor, supporting mods etc. I will be very hard to get to 500 on pump gas with the ZFR. More then likely you will be at the 450 range with an aggressive tune. We are in the testing stages of the WR-3, but I can tell you that it will contend with the ZFR and is also bolt on

 

^ zfr isn't able for 500 unless u had serious fueling and aggressive tune overpriced in my opinion better off getting a 58/57 or 55/57 for 800$ t3/t4 manifold from zzp or treadstone or wherever, external waste gate valve springs and a clutch ull be good for mid to higher 400's all day

 

with that set up and cams, heads, ect do you think i could break 500

 

if u had a 58/57 u can break 500 but id advise u got pistons and rods if u want over 500

 

my overall idea was get the parts that would make me 500+ on the motor in the car on a less aggressive tune, and put to together a 2ns motor on a stand to put all the parts on and turn all to power up

 

i swapped the 58/57 to a 6262 for same power (510) but lower boost its possible

 

hows the spool time on those turbos

 

58/57 full spooled just around 4kish, 6262 lil laggy

 

Seems like you have some researching to do. I suggest calling ZZP and telling them your goals, and they can point you in the right direction

 

Good luck if you include reliable in the same sentence.

 

^ hahah couldnt have said it better myself

 

im gonna build a complete motor on a stand that im gonna beef up so when i grenade this one i can just swap all the good stuff over and go again

 

Intercooler: Treadstone, ZZP, Turbo XS, Pwerks, Hahn (not in order fo quality they all great products)
Clutch: ZZp, Spec, Ky
Axles: you dont need them you have a LNF they are pretty beefy
5th injector kit: you should get depending on your power goals
ZFR; could be on bakorder i think not to sure but if this is yoru turbo of choice dont think you need a 5th injector kit/ do you plan on running a E tune?
then obviously exhaust, intake, chargepiping, forge BPV, tune, sticker tires lol and some retros
