I have a stock ls with 90k. Looking to go turbo soon, and shoot for aroung 200/250hp.
What gets me there?
I'm not keeping the car or motor, just wanna have some summer fun. So I don't wanna invest too much.
Thanks

with the right parts/tune/gas you can see over 300.

on 93 octane id stay around 280 ish
race gas 340-350 if you want to push it

how much is too much? Find a used greddy kit or something in marketplace

Would the stock LS motor be fine @ 350whp on E85? I was thinking maybe 300 on "low" and 350 on "high".

You're asking for a lot of RISK once you get past the 320whp mark on the stock engine. Period. No time limit, just additional risk to the rods, rings, etc.

I don't have dollar budget. Just know I'm not keeping the car past this year, so cheaper is better. I see a bunch of "turbo kits" on ebay for around 700-800?
Will that, plus injectors and a tune be enough for the numbers?
I'll run 93. 200-250hp is fine for what i wanna do.

I would say just save your money and whatever the next project is going to be honestly. For a cheap cheap build you could risk the ebay china parts, or I would find a junkyard and get everything used.

Then don't invest in it at all. Save your money, wait until next year, get the better stuff. No sense in throwing good money after bad. At that rate, donate to me your $700-$800

What about a stock t-bird turbo or something of the like, log/cast manifold, no intercooler, dsm 450cc injectors, crome. Seems like you could do 200hp pretty cheap.

Guys, there's no "next project." I bought a car for $500. Want to know the cheapest way to make decent power (without spraying) to have fun for a summer.
I'll see what I can find locally cruizinmax
Thanks
