hey guys, got a stock vl n/a motor with t3 turbo, turbo injectors and standard gate. looking at upgrading my setup for some more power. just wondering what you guys reckon, do you think a n/a motor would handle a t04z with stock internals?? hopefully not a dum question im just looking for cheap performance lol! obviously the gearbox and diff would be improved, but yeah do you reckon this would be ok or would it destroy the motor??

No................

if you can afford a T04z you can afford some pistons at least lol the T04z will support 400-450rwkw, why would you want such a large turbo for an engine thats not built to support that kind of power?

will be fine if the tune is rite,,and have a good intercooler Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you guys need to speak to luke VP, he made 280kw on n/a bottom end.

my car was running a t04z - 244rwkw @ 14psi for several months of trashing and never had a drama. Only thing i done was a cometic headgasket. Before i pulled the car apart i cranked it to 18psi (appx 270rwkw) and went for a drive and never blew up or anything. You can buy my t04z complete setup if you want, have a look at my thread

I know of a certain 150,000km old engine (turbo, not n/a) thats loving a healthy 320rwkw daily and 355rwkw on C16. Only difference is a touch of compression... tune it safely and as long as its in good nick itll be fine.

^^ Waive??

but why go a T04z with power goals that a GT35r (or smaller) would support?

member of this forum has a vl with standard motor, standard head with a cam, powerglide, rajab plenum and t04z made 504rwhp on 27psi, roo16

as alot of people have said its possible, but personally i wouldnt do it, it will just end up costing you more in the future. do it once do it right. just be patient and save up and do your internals i reckon.

If you already have it bang it on , just have a good tune Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah wack 20psi in it, stock injectors and ecu can support it easy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Theres another guy on here 333kw on N/a bottom end with Meth Injection. Its very doable you need supporting mods and from what Ive been told told and seen examples of, it all comes from a good tune.

id just a use a gt35 from an xr6turbo cheap as chips, it will do what you want. nice low mount turbo on a standard manifold with a jpc spacer standard inlet some good injectors, nice and stealth !
