Gringos' is a tad extreme for 7-8 I would surmise, especially with the custom dogbox

I'm still so confused by what's trying to be accomplished here lol.

Care to elaborate on that final statement of yours Shodan

 

not trying to go past 800. hoping to start off once build is done around 700 and work up toward 800

 

a drag car/ extreme weekend warrior. shooting for 7-800whp would love to end up hitting low 9s.


build is still taking shape as i keep finding crazy deals.



now block is to be a darton sleeved a1 block. @83mm with arias flat tops and thick turbo pins. rods crower i beams

turbo s366 cast wheel

fuel system looking to be 450 on e85 2200cc boush injectors stocklines

top end is complete gsr head supertech 85 springs ti retainers stock ports skunk 2 pro 1's preformer x intake 68mm tb

2.5" piping, thread stone 10c intercooler, ram horn manifold, 38mm gate, 3" dp and exhaust.

 

ya trans i think is just going to be cuffed 5th gear and m factory lsd full gsr.

neptune rtp demon 2 for ecu

 

agreed, I was going off this statement

And pretty sure couple of seasons ago gringo was n the mid 800's, point is anything above 700 requires alot more parts and definitely not gonna be any good on the street IMO

this thread confuses me lol, hes kinda all over the place.

as far as shodans statement im sure it involves garret turbos if you know what i mean lol

really thats not a good idea, figure out what you want and build it accordingly, "crazy deals" cant pass it up, your just spinning your wheels here

 

well i agree when it comes to some parts. but a 81.5 sleeved block that needs bored to 82mm for 350 shipped id be stupid not to buy. and the pro 1's dont think will hurt just make easyer to make the power i want.

ive looked at alot of different turbo websites the only turbos i found under 650 where comp or bw. havent seen a used garrett other then mine for sale for under 650.

 

Im not saying garretts are best, borg warners are great turbos as well. However if you want this kind of power its not gonna be cheap, again axles / rebuild trans ***** gonna get expensive real quick

 

ya i under stand gotta pay to play. thats why i ask so many questions and bring up so many scenarios so if im spend the money its not gone be wasted.

im not set on once the build is done tunning it at 7-800. i want to get a good starting point say 630-40ish and get the car working good and increase power once i have it worked in right and also so i can have it running then have some time to buy the trans parts and axles and stuff. but i still would like the parts to make that power.

 

Yes, but what I think is missing is your understanding that the turbo best used for a good 600whp is completely different from one that performs well at 700-800whp..other parts notwithstanding.

That's why you seem to be in several directions to us

 

so what rods we talking instead of the eagles skunk alphas ? they say 900hp. ot we talkling turbo tuffs

 

wanting mid 700s to beable to hit low 9s. so i have a victor x and a ultra street lined up which would be better for 700-780whp

 

nvm talked with jason hunt and victor x it is.

 

well the steel of a life time is finally here sleeved ls block for 300 bucks will post pics tomarrow turbo is orderd borg 366 extended tip brand new only mocked up for 500, intake is a preformer x as could pass the 150 price tag,

so have a throw up on the rods i have 2 sets to choice from crower stel billets wit 3/8 bolts they say will hold 800 and 10k+ rpm or my eagles with arp 2000 rods the set i dont use are paid for and going in a crazy automatic b20b na build. hope everyone has a safe weekend kicking ***.

updated as i got things cheaper then said before

 

Wow man, and I thought your head was a steal

 

 

my 150 set of crower 4340 steel billet rods

 

the set of eagle i have. still need some more insight on which rods to trust.

 

gsr head stock ports super tech ti retianers and 85lb springs<br/>

 

my latenight run a few weeks back 3 hrs one way

 

ya that head package was but well worth it when it freed up money for me to get this block and cams and the crower rods. thanks again for your buisness h[pe that head birngs you big power always wanted to know what i would make

 

Haha yeah man and thanks for deal

So this is still a mostly street/drag car right?

 

yes sir build at the moment is limited to 600 due to clutch set up injectors and pump axles right now im just waiting on parts to come in so i can get it put back together and get it tuned 600 is a big jump from 300ish so still got to cage the car seat and bealts and find my fire suit and buy new racing shoes so im good on 9.99s still gotta figure out what time you have to have a tray under the car and scater shield or if hondas need them even.

 

On most drag strips, at minimum scatter shield for 9.99 and less.. But is based upon sanction and individual track rules..check with the drag strip facilities you plan to attend

 

thanks. what you think of the rod situation.

 

I'd use the Crower (as long as they are not Brian Crower) over the Eagle due to their design (the Crower you have is an "I" beam, right? Can't tell from photo).

They both use the same steel material. Otherwise, I see no truly significant advantage. Booth are fine for 600whp. 800whp? I have no idea..
