I working on a sbf twin turbo in a ford ranger, my first try at diy, I own Powerstroke’s and work and upgraded those, this is a complete different animal , no kits truly available , lucky I can fab and weld. The hard part is decisions on turbo sizing( you have answer that) and deciding on blow off’s and which brand ecu. And learning to program it
Currently building the 4l80 in my 04 2500. Figured I’d grab your LBT cam since it’s getting a 3200 stall with the intention of sticking a turbo on it once it’s running. The trans is getting some good parts, and should be good for 1000hp or so. I’d love to see 6-700 at the tire. I was thinking the 7875 would be appropriate with a 1.25 AR. Does it sound like I’m on the right track?
Building a turbo 5.3/4l80e combo. I have a ls6 intake, is it worth going to a fast lsxr? I am also thinking about a holley lo ram with an intercooler brick but that will hurt mid range power a fair bit yeah? Car will be mainly roll racing/drag racing with an occasional cruise/ static show.
@richardholdener1727 i was thinking of running the holley for packaging reasons, straight shot from turbo to intake, intercooler brick in the intake. Nice and short pipework. My only worry is keeping it under the bonnet for a sleeper look. Which is why I was considering the lo-ram, but that would have even more effect than a hi ram on mid range power. I want to run a2w and a fi interchiller as I don't want to chop my car up and get more consistent+lower intake temps.
6.0 lq9 block with Callie crankshaft and rods. Weisco HD pistons. 406ci. Prc heads, 679/649 lift cam. Twin precision 7675hp on M1. Can't wait to see what it puts out. What would be your estimate?
No way to tell from this as cam lift is useless data when estimating power, and PRC makes a million different heads- which are you running? Cathedral? Rectangle? What size port and chamber? Those turbos are capable of 2000+ but the rest of your combo is…. well nobody knows cause the info you gave is irrelevant
1000 to the tire if you want it to live a long life on the street. More if you just live 1/8th of a mile or 1/4 mile at a time. It really depends on the tire traction transmission / ect. At high h.p. A good modern automatic will let a engine live at high power a lot longer. It keeps the engine in its happy place, making the power. A simple trans, or especially a manual ,you can lug the engine and force it to make power where it's not as easy on the rest of your parts.
The block is o-ringed and filled up to the water pump, so I can still run water through the heads. Also, solid coppergaskets. Heads are cathedral port with 220/160 valves. Valves aren't what came in them from prc and ports have been redesigned..flow was over 350. Don't know where my flow chart is to give exact numbers. Port matched super victor with mods in the plenum and holley elbow. 105mm throttle body. Cam was 115/236d. Compression is 11.24 . Just a play motor until I build the dart 440ci that's in the works done. It'll be mainly 1/8th and street racing
As a 🥩 Steak man I respect you for not murdering The prime rib 👍🏼 I refuse to well done a steak my ear hears a burger for you 😂

Hci+efi are the 2025 goals. Cogs secondary. T66 would be an incredible bonus.
I missed the live stream, but my poll answer is YES! Actually, the turbo is en route. 😎

Yes, that’s a great combo so far for 600-700 to the tire. You’ll also need a matching fuel system
that will work
I have the turbos already, with any luck I'll be turbo'd in the mustang by march

Watch one of the couple videos he has up covering factory and aftermarket intakes
for a turbo I wouldn't worry about a FAST, and only get a Hi Ram if you want to run more rpm

Also, main studs and arp ca625 head studs
dang it
Gen 3 hemi 4.095 bore. setting ring gap for turbos .024 top .026 second, oil .015
we do .006-.0065 per 1 inch of bore for high boost
Why didn't you just slice the prime rib up into steaks and throw them on the grill?
it was already cooking-but that would have been a good choice as well
