Single turbo - Going to GPI for drop-ins + ?? - Page 2

That 76 might be the biggest you can fit if that frame. Anything bigger would probably take some fabrication. I say run it and see where it runs out.

Open to turbo suggestions, as I could keep this for my GN project that will happen next year. Car goes to GPI on the 22nd, so I'm trying to have everything lined up.

garret has a "boost adviser" calculator that you plug parameters into and it spits out something i cant afford lol.

Dropped it off yesterday and will see where it's ends up on power as is. Debating high ram, but other than that everything is purchased and just waiting in line.

Picked my car up Friday! Seen yours when I arrived. Going to be sick!

I like the hi ram but what about an MSD for these (relatively) heavy late model rides. Wouldn't it have a wider torque band and peak a bit sooner? Hi Ram's sweet spot is 5-8k rpm iirc. Either way I love a turbo build!

I'm running the Procharger intake on my twin turbo build.

Honestly, the high ram debate for me is just cosmetic. I like the look or black high ram through hood with back wheels. Not a max effort built for track, but it'll def see some RPMs pending how far the fuel setup takes me.
It will allow for easy port injection later if I decide to go full send.

The other problem with the high ram is you have to get a nice valley cover too. LOL Otherwise it'll ruin the badass look when you open the hood.

I do not like the look of an intake sticking through my hood and that's why I went with the Procharger intake so I get port injection that is under the hood. Plus I'm running an Anderson Composites carbon fiber hood so I didn't want to have to cut it. I had this plate made for it to match the build.

Both valid points, and I hadn't priced the PC intake, I'll have to look it up. Good call.

May just stick with stock until I go full PI, we will see what they find after teardown...

That looks really good.

Thanks, I had to take the one that said Procharger to a local guy with a laser cutting machine and he made one of out plastic and then sent off the diagram of it to a place that could cut it out of metal, then we took it to another place that could coat it. The first guy did all of the fonts and everything.

He also made me a section out of acrylic with LEDs to go under it, I just haven't taken the time to wire it all up yet but it will look pretty cool at night when I raise the hood.

OK, now it’s just bad ass.

I love the texture. Nailed it.

Choda · 01-28-2021, 01:03 PM

The Procharger intakes are 2500 without fuel rails and 3000 with fuel rails. Nice intake but very expensive.

How much power does it make? Any WOT vids?
