yeah hoping its going to crack, yeah gt42 are rated at 900hp bush, 1000hp ball bearing, 1100hp gtx, this is ment to be 1250hp we will see i guess but if its to small or doesnt match up to the garrett my engine builder said he will buy it and ill just go bigger....

I have a mate with one of a 390ci... its a handful
There would be an 8sec pass in the turbo. How faster do you want to go hahaha

I looked at the s510 and that thing is stupid if you put that thing on its side it looks like a mushroom the front housing is huge....... Rated at 1600hp or something,was thinking twins at one stage but a big single should do the trick, hows do you find your twins?

Twins are good, good engine VE, can package them a little easier etc on the downside, more pipework, slower spool v compressor size double of everything to make them work etc etc
It all works, just got to setup them up to suit. My turbos are not all that big, basically 3.4L spooling a GT35/37 sized compressor.. they should start making good boost under 3K and be on song by 3500rpm.. giving me 4000rpm to the limiter.

yeah twins are a better was to go for response, but much more expensive as you would know..... have you had the vx on the dyno yet?

Nup.. engines not even in the car at the moment
That single of yours will be on boost pretty hard by 3500rpm mate. Its going to kill it.. I'm going to say it will turn the tyres hard any gear till you get off it.

Good work mate. I have been building a vlc with built 6ltr cast iron callies rids ect with 1500 billet turbo for last 2 yrs but buying a house has slowed it down so u might get it done. There is alot of lil mods to do to get it to fit n work. Good luck champ
