nice dude! will keep watching this and see how it goes!

 

Damm thats a lot of money you got there, good luck to you and your build

 

click should be sick

 

This should be good! Nice sleeves, they look like mine

Think your gunna get 4006.....whp?

 

haha no on the 4006 whp. looking for 400whp ish on pump gas. it could be done on a stock motor, but i just like building cars and motorcycles, it's fun

as for the $ amount, there will be approx. $8000 in parts/machine work on the drivetrain

 

looking very good man, im doing the same as far as gathering parts for the build, then do it all at once!

but the TVS will go on before hand, cuz i needs a new toy on my car!

 

So which will make more power the turbo or the stickers? LOL. Love the sig!!

 

Nice goal. That is what I am hoping with my twincharge. Nothing too crazy..... yet. 8000 is about what I have into it too. Money goes quick when you have to sleeve it, big clutch, etc. GL man!

 

i bought a tvs kit, drove it about 5-10 miles and took it back off and sold it here. the tvs is a nice upgrade, but it's not 2000$ worth of an upgrade when you can do a turbo conversion for just a bit more and have more options/more power and ALOT more torque.

stickers of course!

 

damn i dont want to look into building then ha

 

haha one of the big expenses was the sleeving. I got my sleeves, install, and bore/hone to diamond specs for 1400 locally. Not terrible, but a big chunk of money. Everything else just adds up quick. haha

 

ouch lol

 

holy ****!!!!! Someone else thinks like I do!!!! I didn't think it was possible. LOL @ driving it 5-10miles and taking it right off and selling it. haha.

 

yep lol... right out of the box, 19 psi this turbo kit put down 330whp and 340wtq. that's about 75wtq more than the tvs would do on pump gas. and once the motor is built, i just press a few buttons and take it up to 25psi+

 

waiting to install my TVS but, you really didnt feel that it is a decent power adder over the M62...i guess it depends on an individuals goals but wanted you to elaborate on that opinion

 

too many people are just a click away from unleashing hate hate hate.......

 

 

I'm a fan of this kit/set up. I'd like to get rid of the intake mani if it was mine though. Can't wait to see finished product.

 

it was decent, but maybe about $1000 worth of decent not $2000. knowing what the turbo kit offers for just a little bit more money, it's well worth the extra. as for ease of use, no doubt the tvs is easy to bolt on compared to a turbo... it just doesn't come close to the options and power levels you can get with a turbo setup

i'm gonna leave it for now, it should keep the temps more stable with the dual intercooling. if not, i'll put a bigger fmic on and get a vulcan manifold or something

 

go for a saab lk9 manifold. Just port it and it should be good to go for high boost levels.

 

Yeah I'm sure it will work well. I have the vulcan on my car...not running yet I'll let you know how well it performs

 

ah good catch! didn't even think of that. much cheaper what years will fit? couldn't find an lk9 on ebay

 

ask maxim x
