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 |

If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. LS Twin Turbo is a great choice, pattern the design after the twin turbo BMW V8s used in the M cars, great engine design. Water to air intercoolers for each turbo. Just need to size the turbos right, and you're good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
