Clifton Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 That's a pretty big IC. Should get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Make sure it will fit since you will have to add another 6-8" to the width for the 90* elbows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 i didnt even think about the elbows thanks alot guys and yes 35psi your not seeing things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 35psi! Sounds expensive, excessive and exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 yea cost on the engine build is right around 3grand but i should be around 500rwhp plus with a boost controler in the cab i can turn it down for better economy should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 35 PSI and 500rwhp dont match!!!!! what kind of motor? 35 PSI usually go with motors that cost 15K+.... but good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 35 PSI usually go with motors that cost 15K+.... but good luck Not always. I run 30 psi in the winter every time it's driven. Stock pistons and rods. It has seen more but I didn't have the fuel (pump) to leave it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rztmartini Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 was that on the 7M or the L28ET? what air temps was that at also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 35 PSI and 500rwhp dont match!!!!! what kind of motor? Thats what I was thinking wouldnt like 15 psi be around 500 hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 35 PSI and 500rwhp dont match!!!!! what kind of motor? 35 PSI usually go with motors that cost 15K+.... but good luck not if you buy all the parts at cost from a engine builder trust me the markup some people get is nuts and also im trading the labor for electrical work it is going to become a great friendship between us. i am going the 383 stroker fully forged 4340 cromolly( i cant spell worth a bean thats why im an electrician lol) fully roller motor and will be runnable on 91 octane. alluminum heads and yea should hold up right?

Clifton Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 was that on the 7M or the L28ET? what air temps was that at also? 7M. With the stock ecu I've done it in the mid 80's. With MS so far 70's is the warmest it's been. In the summer when it's 100-110* I drop it back to 24-25 psi. With more octane it will wasily do more.

Scottie-GNZ Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 There is no rule-of-thumb that says npsi should make nnnHP. However, if a 383ci engine runs 35psi and only makes 500hp, something is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsk8ter Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 ok i might make more then but better tu build for it and not run it right lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARZ_ Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yea 35 Psi on a 383 should net you 1200 HP or more. Unless your only going to rev it to 3K the you might make 500 hp at 3k LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesd Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 35 psi with about 20 psi turbine side back pressure will give you about 500 hp Reading off PSI numbers is almost like kids looking at the speedo in a car and rating it's top speed by what the dial says while parked. -Les There is no rule-of-thumb that says npsi should make nnnHP.

What turbos you plan on using. i was thingking the t3t4 turbos might go with the ball bearing but i dont know if thats in my budget. does this look like a good deal? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120091817073&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 You'll likely want at least a 60 AR for twin turbos for a mild build. To give you an idea I am using two T3 turbos (the stock datsun type with ~60 AR) and am only expecting to get in the 500hp range at around 12-14psi. The turbos you linked wouldn't work well to make it to that modest level because of the small 48 AR which will restrict exhaust flow too much. But a guy might want a low rev high torque street fun motor and then those turbos would work fine. oops, I see those are 60 AR turbine so they might work OK to get to 500hp. You should read a lot more before buying any turbos, you'll never regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
