Hmm...That's sad. For the same reason that I've never finished my car, I've not had the opportunity to contribute as much as I'd like within the forums. Although I visit all the time and lurk. I didn't realize my location wasn't filled out, but that's ok. I fixed that. But to charge people $20 to list an add? Craigslist doesn't do that...EBAY doesn't even charge that much to sell a whole car. Thanks to those that have answered my 60 threads worth of questions over the last three years.

Well, I've been trying to pull off this ......... And I JUST can't ...... put a ....... to it. So! I............. space. For what ever reason, I'm not allowed to post anything to to the for sale forum. (admin?) so as to not break the rules ............ would .......... I ...... list.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope you all have a great and safe holiday! Cheers!

Great idea, HORRIBLE execution. Not sure if everyone sees it or not, but I see a LOT of crooked lines. Doesn't look as bad right now being primered. but when finish painted....its going to be more visible.

Wow. You are really doing it right. That will pay off in the end. Beautiful job!

I'm planning on going turbo. I think I've got the kit picked out. T3/T4 hybrid set up. Right now it's good for 500hp with it's current config. But I understand that these turbos are good up to 1200. So if I ever decided to go NUTS, I would just have to pretty much upgrade that turbo parts instead of buy a whole new set up. I'm excited to see some progress and get the ball in motion, but I'm sure it will be at least next summer before the car hits the road. Maybe even later. :burnout:

Went back, and the GT45 was by autochrome...a company I've been reading a lot of bad stuff about. So that's a no-go. I'm torn here though. I found a complete set up for a D series honda engine. Don't laugh yet. Hybrid T3/T4 capable up to 1200 HP. Complete with intercooler, BOV, downpipe, exhaust manifold, wastegate...everything. Granted I won't be able to USE some of it, but I could turn around and sell what I don't need and regain some of the money to use towards the proper piping and stuff. $400 for that, or the HX60 by it's self maxing out at 600HP for $500... ??!! Too many choices and decisions...maybe I should have just stuck with the nitrous!! LOL!!

GT45 = $300 shipped, NEW! ??

I found a Holset HX60 and HX82. The 60 is apparently good 320 - 600hp, has no playand the HX82 is good from 500-1200. Thing is massive. But it has some play, and would require a rebuild. I'm thinking that the 60 will suffice, but the 82 is tantalizing.

Man, people on Craigslist just piss me off. I had found a Turbonetics T62-1 good for 600hp. Price was decent, agreed to buy, !#%! stood me up on the exchange and now won't answer calls. The search continues now.

So I have FINALLY been able to alot some time to project 383Z. Last week I was able to get the LT1 all torn down and to the machinist with a whole shopping cart of goodies. I've changed my direction a bit. I'm dumping the nitrous, and going forced induction. So I bought forged dished pistons rated at 9.5:1, in place of the original flat tops . I might get additional head gaskets to still lower that, not sure. Have to figure out what the current final compression ratio will be with all the head work that's been done. We'll see. So today I picked everything back up, and of course, I'm leaving town for a week come this weekend. LOL! But as soon as I get back, I have to decide on my cam shaft, get that purchased, and put the thing together. From there, I'm going to stick it in the corner all covered up nice and neat, and start tearing apart cars (I have two...) so that I can start assimilating them into one. Good times....finally.

Thanks for the information. My budget is quickly dwindling. You know the story...nickel dime time. So I'm shopping for a used turbo...hopefully on the cheaper side. My setup? Well, it's changed a little over time. But here's what I am currently trying to build. 1995 LT1 w/ police package. 30 over forged dish pistons Forged stroker crank hydrolic roller/rocker set up cam model still undecided....was going for a very big cam, but not what you want for a FI set up. Need less overlap. (recommendations are welcome! I am looking for something that still hits hard LATE to allow time to get off the line.) was going 125hp shot nitrous, but have decided to go FI, so selling nitrous set up. still deciding on headers vs rams horn ex. man.... But I am going to be doing this turbo set up as a remote ( rear mount) set up.

I'm shopping turbos, and have read a bunch of the threads on this subforum. I understand all the tech side of it on how to ensure there is enough CFM, choke points, all that jazz...but trying to track down an actual turbo for the application is a different game. Not sure how to search on this one, so if it's been discussed, forgive me. I'm finding a ton of diesel truck turbos. 6.0 to 7.3L's... My question is, would the turbos off the diesel trucks make good ones for our application? Smaller turbos are a dime a dozen. But I don't really want to do a twin turbo set up. I found a turbo for a Mac truck. But I can't find any specs on it, although I'm sure that it puts out plenty...but I'm apprehensive. thanks. OH! And I'm FINALLY getting to start playing with my car! I actually got the engine completely tore down last night to a bare block. So next is off to the machine shop for some R&R. The inside of the engine was soooooo clean!! The cylinders still had cross thatch marks in them! Just makes me feel better knowing that I'm starting with a good foundation.

ok, finished up what I was doing and went back to your link. Your site has a ton of links for the calculators. Awesome, thanks. seriously, every conceivable style/format for calculating it. That's cool as hell. But my question has evolved from my OP... I see the calculators stating that I need more than a 30# injector, but I'm seeing thread after thread where people with modified LT1's are using 30# injectors, running well over the 380hp max that the calculators are showing for 30# use. I don't want to go too big, I read that it can cause cylinder wash, and that's bad. Does elevation have any play here? SAE gets away with more/less because of air density? Just a shot in the dark there.
