Yeah, I know its nuts. But we’re going to turbo the Screamsicle. (also known as Morpheus..)
For you that aren’t familiar with the car, it’s a 5.7 LS6 engine that has many goodies. The dyno sheet I was given with the car shows 430 rwhp. My dyno showed 362 rwhp. But I’m thinking that was mostly the differences in dynos. Either way, both numbers are thrown around. We’ll go with 362 going forward. We’ll be adding a VS Racing 7875 Turbo with .96ar and V-band connections. With minimum boost I expect to be close to 500rwhp. We’ll use that for AX and track days at least to start. The drag strip is where we’ll eventually turn it up to about 14psi. That will give us approx. 700rwhp and hopefully set a mark to be beat. I go into why and everything else in the video, but really, it’s because I want to… Here’s the intro video for the LS Turbo series on our Budget Outlaws channel. https://youtu.be/6_Mlwf0nHLw |

Besides building the turbo kit, I have a lot of work to do:
More fuel delivery is a given. We’ll be using E85 for the 14psi runs. The engine will come apart for a refresh and gaping the rings for boost. I need to rework the brakes. They stop OK, but just OK isn’t good enough. Build a front splitter, possibly make a flat bottom for under the engine. Rework the front fiberglass for more cooling. Ala the original build that Bill did. Possibly a wing, I know it’s a little extreme, but that’s where this is going and from my research the spoilers don’t have much downforce due to airflow. And then maybe I’ll finally get around to painting it… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
