Guest Won'tletmyzDie Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Well once again I have a question. Is it possible to make 600 hp out of an L28 and still use street gas? I know a few friends who have some theories. I would be taking the supercharged route to pull this off and also running methanol injection to make up for the pinging. Numerous other things, have a couple of friends who build DSM motors and do pretty good so they know something about high boost and keeping it under control Any ideas would be nice. I wanna keep the L28 as the engine just because I love my old straight 6 and I'm never lettin it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 well you said high boost and also supercharging.. havent yet seen a high boost SC L28ET yet. a turbo would be better along with some nitrous. thats my take on it. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2126 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I believe going with a turbo charger rather than a superchager is the prefered route. There's a guy back east (President of one of the Z clubs) who is running a supercharger....nice install but nowhere near 600HP! I think there is only one supercharger kit available for the L6... and I believe Jim Cook Racing has them still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 You are going to need a big turbo, 63mm+ and over 25 psi, and not a upgraded T3/4. Roots type superchargers aren't very efficient so I would rule that out for your goals if you want it to be on pump gas. You will also need a large intercooler. You will definately need meth/H20 injection also for pump gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Won'tletmyzDie Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 well then i guess i need to be the first... or second i heard of a Z somewhere about in australia that has a supercharger running at 18 psi.... saw pics or i wouldn't have believed it I will see if i can find the link again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well once again I have a question. Is it possible to make 600 hp out of an L28 and still use street gas? No! No one has even done it yet with race gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Wasn't there a guy who just sold his T66 carbed Z that made somewere around 530 to the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
