Scottie-GNZ Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 It certainly is an alternative. That guy has a ton of $$$ into that project. ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z Scottie's GNZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 yeah, i might end up really buildin her up. but if i do, i've got a good resource to help me do the actual building of it! and suprisingly he hasn't spent that much money on his motor. most people think that he has spent around $15,000, but its about a 1/3 of that. still, you might say that $5,000 for a motor is expensive, until you realize that he is producing between 300-350 hp at 8 pounds of boost!!! and his maximum boost level is now at 16psi. his 52 pound per hour injectors are now the weak point in his system. i'm trying to get him to dyno it once the motor gets broken in. its estimated to produce right around 550-600 hp at 16 psi!!

Scottie-GNZ Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 David, not sure I agree with the statement that the injs are his weak point. When he gets to the 500hp level, yes, but 52# injs should be able to support up to mid-400hp level at 85% duty cycle and w/o turning up the fuel pressure. ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z Scottie's GNZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 I love the power to weight ratio of the Chevy 60' V6! This engine is a definite alternative for those who desire a lite weight and powerful motor. ------------------ " Now where did I set my beer?
